The funding will provide additional capital to increase Utility’s investment in innovation, continuing to accelerate its growth.
“Our team was focused on aligning all the efforts we continue to employ to strategically position the business for unprecedented expansion. With a visionary approach to investment and innovation, Utility is on course to amplify its impact and guide the future of technology,” said Michael Nark, President and CEO of Utility. “The significant progress achieved in this quarter, marked by Greater Sum Ventures’ majority investment and deployment of TITAN by the Vermont State Police, underscores Utility’s unwavering commitment to our clients and to shaping the future of our industry.”
Responding to the growing demand for extended battery life driven by ever increasing law enforcement work shifts, the company is poised to launch a groundbreaking supplemental battery, integrated with the EOS body-worn camera device, promising to revolutionize the field and provide users with enhanced operational capabilities. Additionally, Utility achieved success in facilitating the upload of tens of thousands (45,000+) of evidence files through the Citizen Upload capability within Polaris, showcasing the widespread adoption and utility of this feature.
