Police Wireless Mobile Data Communications

Wireless mobile data / mobile computing terminals and laptop computers with wireless / radio communications are becoming essential public safety communications tools to:

increase officer safety
increase productivity
improve agency effectiveness
control or reduce operating costs

Community oriented policing becomes more efficient and more effective with the use of wireless mobile data and mobile computing.

Mobile data communications can provide officers with access to information systems enabling them to:

Receive and initiate Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) calls for service.
Check the status of calls for service in their response area and surrounding areas.
Query systems, such as DMV, NCIC, CPIC records management systems, GIS, mug shots and other pertinent records systems and data sources.
Obtain call location and arrest history.
Access e-mail (departmental and internet access) to communicate across space and time with department personnel, citizens, and community and government agency partners.
Access departmental Intranet.
Stay abreast of the latest crime incidents occurring in their assigned neighborhoods since their last tour of duty.
Prepare routine reports in the field without having to leave their assigned patrol area.
Maintain contact with supervisors and other personnel without tying up valuable voice radio airtime.
Reduce the reliance on voice communications as the only means of communications from the field.

Mobile data communications systems are often the backbone for automatic vehicle location (AVL), automatic vehicle monitoring (AVM) and dynamic mapping systems.

Wireless mobile computing consists of several components including hardware, such as servers, laptops, network gateways and network interfaces; software for the various applications and to facilitate the efficient transfer of the data, and the mobile data communications wireless/radio frequency (RF) backbone, infrastructure and technology.
