Public Safety Uses of Mobile Data:
Productivity
Threats facing our communities
are increasing while governmental budgets are being
squeezed. Let's give
public safety agencies the tools that can enable them to
stay out on the streets and in the public view.
Officers can save 1-2 hours per shift
and spend that time in the field. That can be the equivalent of hiring more
personnel.
How is this accomplished?
-
Email is a basic and necessary
communications tool. However, officers can’t check or
send email while on patrol. Today, they have to come to
the office.
-
Reporting is a large part of every
officer’s responsibilities, and it's a huge time
commitment. Yet, officers can’t access, review, author
and submit reports while out in the field. What
they can do today pales in comparison to what they could
do with a high speed network connection.
Safety
Imagine an officer alone on routine traffic stop.
We know how dangerous that can be. How can we make the
situation safer?
There's a reason that someone
spooks and turns on an officer. There's something they
don't want the officer to know about who they are what they've
done.
Officers can be better prepared if
they can querying state, NCIC and NLETS databases:
-
Is the vehicle stolen?
-
Who is the
vehicle owner and what is the status of their plates?
-
Are their any wants/warrants?
-
Can you verify the DL photo?
-
etc.
Querying local
records can be equally important.
-
Does the vehicle or driver match a
suspect description?
-
Can you cross reference names and aliases?
-
Are you made aware of incidents involving this person but
not submitted to state/federal databases?
-
Can you know if this driver was just pulled over minutes before by
another agency?
Here are just some examples of how super fast delivery of data and video to
and from public safety vehicles can dramatically improves their ability to protect the lives and property of the community and of other first responders.
We're sure you can think of many more!
