Caliber Public Safety Partners with Abel Police to Reduce Officer Report Writing Time with New BodyCam Narrative Feature

Published

on

New AI integration targets the number one administrative burden for patrol officers and delivers CJIS-compliant field tools while maintaining strict accountability through a human-in-the-loop model.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Caliber Public Safety, a provider of integrated public safety technology to more than 700 law enforcement, fire/EMS, and corrections agencies nationwide, announced new BodyCam Narrative capabilities and a comprehensive suite of in-field AI tools within their Online RMS.

Caliber’s goal is to help agencies leverage AI responsibly to increase efficiency while maintaining transparency, accountability, and public trust. Designed to directly reduce the hours patrol officers spend on paperwork, this new feature delivers measurable business outcomes by targeting the most time-consuming part of the workday. By accelerating the reporting process, agencies can keep their personnel in the field and highly visible in the communities they serve.

The Problem BodyCam Narrative Solves
Report writing is consistently cited as the top administrative burden among law enforcement professionals. After a complex incident, officers often face “blank screen syndrome,” struggling to recall exact timelines and details after a long shift.

To solve this, Caliber Public Safety has integrated the specialized AI report-writing solution from Abel Police directly into the Caliber Online RMS. The BodyCam Narrative feature allows officers to access their body camera videos within the RMS narrative tools. The Abel Police technology then generates a preliminary draft based on the video and audio content, complete with embedded time-link references to specific video segments. Rather than starting from scratch, officers receive a working framework that they can easily verify against the footage.

Daniel Francis, Abel CEO, added: “We built our AI report-writing solution to help officers focus on policing rather than paperwork. Integrating our technology directly into the Caliber Online RMS puts this time-saving tool exactly where officers need it. We are proud to partner with Caliber to bring this capability to more agencies and help get officers back on patrol faster.”

Expanding the In-Field Toolkit
Beyond narrative generation, this partnership deploys the full Abel Police application to support officers during active calls. This comprehensive deployment includes three critical tools designed for the realities of patrol:

Abel Chat: Officers often need immediate clarification on state law, case law, or agency policy manuals while on a scene. Abel Chat provides a CJIS-compliant AI interface that delivers real answers with source citations. It is built to safely handle Criminal Justice Information (CJI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) directly on an officer’s computer or mobile phone.Abel Translate: Language barriers can delay investigations and complicate community interactions. Abel Translate offers CJIS-compliant voice translations across 80 languages. Crucially, it includes a built-in consent requirement that asks the subject for permission to use automated translation in their own language, protecting civil rights and agency liability.Abel Map: To improve situational awareness and officer safety, Abel Map provides a live-location interface that allows for easy location sharing agency-wide or within specific teams.

Configurable Workflows and Consistent Reporting
The system is highly adaptable to meet specific agency needs. It can process all types of video evidence, from street footage to formal interviews, and administrators can configure the system to restrict processing to specific video types if desired. Once a narrative is saved, the associated videos do not immediately disappear. They remain accessible within the system for a configured period, defaulting to 10 days, allowing officers to return and review footage if further supplements are needed.

Additionally, the BodyCam Narrative feature can be combined with charge-specific templates for recurring incident types, such as driving under the influence or domestic violence. This combination creates a highly consistent report structure across the entire agency. This similarity in reporting makes it significantly easier for supervisors to review submissions and for district and prosecuting attorneys to process cases efficiently.

The Human-in-the-Loop Differentiator
Caliber differentiates its approach to artificial intelligence through a strict human-in-the-loop model. The technology is designed to assist the officer, not replace officer judgment. Final accountability always remains with the authoring officer.

Josh Bryant, Director, Project Management with Caliber Public Safety, explained the operational impact: “Our focus is always on the practitioner. By partnering with Abel Police, we are giving officers a tool that significantly cuts down the time it takes to write a compliant, accurate report. Just as importantly, our strict human-in-the-loop validation ensures that the officer’s judgment remains the final authority on every single narrative.”

To guarantee this accountability, the Abel Police integration includes a unique validation step that sets it apart from other solutions. The system intentionally inserts obvious fictional statements, known internally as “Easter eggs,” into the initial AI-generated draft. This requires the officer to actively read, review, and edit the content before the system allows them to save the final report. Furthermore, the system tracks which users have acknowledged the AI-generated content, providing a clear audit trail for agency leadership and prosecuting attorneys.

Availability
The Abel Police suite, including BodyCam Narrative, Chat, Translate, and Map, is available as an agency-level activation, allowing administrators to assign access only to specific user roles. For agencies new to this technology, Abel Police offers structured pilot programs for five to six users. This allows departments to test the workflow and measure time savings before full deployment. Active pilots are currently underway in select agencies across the country, with users already experiencing the benefits of the integrated workflow.

Agencies interested in learning more about the BodyCam Narrative feature or the full Caliber Online RMS platform are encouraged to contact the Caliber Public Safety sales team via phone, email, or by visiting our website: (336) 397-5300 / info@caliberpublicsafety.com / www.caliberpublicsafety.com.

Best VPS Hosting (2026): Virterion Recognized for Performance, Reliability, and Scalability by Expert Consumers

Published

September 5, 2026

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Expert Consumers has recognized Virterion in an assessment of the best VPS hosting solutions for 2026. The recognition highlights the provider’s performance-focused virtual servers, infrastructure reliability, and ability to scale from entry-level VPS plans to dedicated hardware.

Best VPS Hosting

Virterion – a provider of VPS hosting, Windows VPS, website hosting, and dedicated servers offering KVM virtualization, configurable resources, European server locations, backup options, and scalable infrastructure, supported by 24/7 technical assistance and remote server management tools.

Demand for virtual private servers continues to grow as websites, applications, and databases require more control than conventional shared hosting can provide. VPS hosting allocates processing power, memory, and storage to an independent virtual environment. This structure gives developers and organizations greater control over software, security settings, and server configuration.

Virterion addresses these requirements through several workload-specific services. The portfolio includes standard VPS hosting, high-CPU configurations, Windows VPS, storage-focused virtual servers, website hosting tools, and dedicated servers. The range allows customers to select infrastructure based on processing, storage, operating system, and location requirements.

Virtual Servers Designed Around Different Workloads

Virterion uses KVM virtualization across the VPS range. KVM technology separates virtual machines within a physical server and provides each environment with allocated resources. Customers receive administrative access and can install supported operating systems or use compatible ISO images.

Standard VPS plans are available in Naaldwijk, the Netherlands, and Sofia, Bulgaria. Entry configurations include 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of SSD or NVMe storage. Plans also provide a static IPv4 address, with IPv6 available on applicable configurations.

The Netherlands and Bulgaria VPS ranges support resource customization. CPU cores, memory, storage, bandwidth, IP addresses, and backup capacity can be adjusted through the ordering system. Existing configurations can also be upgraded when traffic or application requirements increase.

Several operational features are available across applicable VPS plans:

Remote server access: A VNC console allows server access when standard network connections are unavailable.Backup controls: Supported plans allow manual backups and scheduled backup creation.Network testing: Looking Glass tools provide information about routes, latency, upload speeds, and download speeds.Flexible operating systems: Customers can select supported Linux distributions or compatible custom images.Technical assistance: Support is available around the clock through email, tickets, and online chat.

These tools give technical teams direct control over routine server management. However, customers remain responsible for application configuration, data protection, and software security.

Performance and Reliability Across European Locations

Location can influence website speed because distance affects the time required to transfer information. Virterion positions the Netherlands location for audiences across Central and Northern Europe. The Sofia location can support projects targeting Southeastern Europe and nearby markets.

Standard plans at both locations provide 300 Mbit/s network options and unlimited traffic. The Netherlands range uses enterprise NVMe storage, while the Bulgaria range uses enterprise SSD storage. Both formats are designed to provide faster data access than traditional mechanical drives.

Projects requiring greater processing capacity can use the High CPU VPS range. These servers use dedicated CPU cores, modern server processors, DDR5 memory, and enterprise NVMe storage. Virterion reports approximately 80 to 90 percent greater CPU performance than the standard Netherlands VPS line. The comparison is based on provider testing and should be evaluated alongside the requirements of each workload.

Reliability also depends on the surrounding data-center and network infrastructure. Virterion cites service availability of up to 99.995 percent for overseas data-center operations. Prospective customers can use the available network-testing tools to evaluate latency and routing before selecting a location.

Backup policies require careful review. Manual and scheduled backups are available on several VPS products, but customers remain responsible for protecting important files and databases. The storage-focused VPS line does not include backup functionality.

Storage VPS configurations begin with 500 GB of SSD capacity. Standard options extend to 1.5 TB, while configurable upgrades can reach 3 TB. This category may suit media libraries, archives, or data-heavy applications when an independent backup process is already established.

Windows VPS and Website Hosting

Virterion provides Windows VPS options in both the Netherlands and Bulgaria. Entry plans include 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM, 20 GB of SSD storage, a 300 Mbit/s network connection, one IP address, and unlimited traffic.

Windows VPS plans include a graphical desktop through Remote Desktop Protocol. VNC console access provides another method of connecting to the virtual machine. Manual and scheduled backup tools are also available.

The Windows service is unmanaged. Technical support can help address issues involving the virtual machine, but software and applications running inside the server remain the customer’s responsibility.

Windows licensing is another important consideration. Virterion provides an evaluation version with a 180-day trial key. A permanent operating system license is not included. Organizations planning long-term deployment should account for licensing and administration requirements before selecting a plan.

Website hosting can be managed through optional control-panel software. Available editions support individual developers, teams handling multiple projects, and agencies maintaining larger website portfolios. Depending on the selected edition, domain allowances include 10, 30, 50, or unlimited domains.

Relevant control-panel options include visual website management, database administration, WordPress tools, subscription controls, and account management. These features can reduce the amount of command-line work required for common hosting tasks.

A VPS still requires more technical involvement than conventional shared website hosting. The tradeoff is greater control over allocated resources, operating system settings, application installation, and security configuration.

Scaling From VPS Hosting to Dedicated Servers

Virtual servers can support many websites, development environments, databases, and business applications. Dedicated servers become more appropriate when a workload requires physical hardware without virtualization, larger memory capacity, multiple storage devices, hardware RAID, or consistently high network throughput.

Virterion offers dedicated servers from the Netherlands location. The catalog includes configurations for smaller production workloads and higher-capacity business systems. Available specifications include ECC memory, enterprise SSD and NVMe storage, hardware RAID options, and multiple-drive configurations.

Selected systems provide network links ranging from 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s. Traffic allowances vary by configuration, with unmetered service available as an upgrade on applicable servers. Some systems support hundreds of gigabytes of memory, while higher-capacity models support multiple enterprise storage devices.

The dedicated-server range provides a migration path for projects that outgrow VPS resources. Customers can begin with virtual infrastructure and move to physical hardware when performance, storage, or network requirements justify the change.

Dedicated hardware involves more planning than a standard VPS. Processor requirements, memory capacity, drive layout, RAID configuration, bandwidth, remote management, and operating system selection should be evaluated before ordering. Virterion provides sales assistance for customers who need help selecting a suitable configuration.

Practical Considerations for Prospective Customers

Virterion is suited to developers, agencies, online businesses, and technical teams seeking configurable VPS hosting in Europe. The service may also fit organizations requiring Windows-based environments, large-capacity storage, or access to dedicated infrastructure through the same provider.

The platform requires a degree of technical knowledge. Windows VPS plans are unmanaged, permanent Windows licensing is separate, and some storage plans do not include backup tools. Application security and data protection remain customer responsibilities.

Expert Consumers’ recognition focuses on the combination of workload-specific VPS options, configurable resources, European server locations, practical management tools, and a direct route to dedicated hardware. For organizations evaluating VPS hosting in 2026, these factors provide a structured way to match infrastructure with current requirements while preserving room for future growth.

The full review is available at the Expert Consumers website.
