Increasingly, the focus is on the concept of a “connected officer” - a new paradigm where officers have full information access via smartphone, allowing them to support officers in any assignment regardless of their proximity to a vehicle. For officers who are not assigned to a vehicle, there may not be any CAD access at all, other than using a radio to ask a third party to perform an action - hardly an efficient way to do business.įorward-thinking police leaders across the country are taking a closer look at the way mobile technology can enhance officer effectiveness and safety. For more than three decades, officers have interacted with their departments’ CAD systems by using in-vehicle computers, which have become standard in patrol vehicles.Īlthough in-vehicle computers have proven to be workhorses, they have one major shortcoming: functionality ends when the officer leaves the patrol vehicle. Since 2000, Hexagon has completed more than 170 acquisitions.Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems have become the cornerstone of uniformed police operations, organizing and prioritizing activities while maintaining a record of officer and dispatcher actions.
