It is a piece of kit which could save lives and capture vital evidence when a woman is in danger.
Called GoodSAM, the tech uses artificial intelligence that enables emergency dispatchers and 999 call takers to instantly locate the caller and open their smartphone camera. It means call handlers will be able to find the precise location of a woman asking for police help and have direct visual access to them.
From today, Cheshire Police launched their use of the technology after securing £300,000 from the government's Safety of Women at Night Fund. In a pilot scheme in the county, the tech was used to pinpoint exactly where a woman stranded in a broken down car was on the M6 at night.
