Law enforcement and first responders have long relied on technology to support them in the field and help them perform their duties to the highest caliber possible. However, never before has a compound piece of technology such as DT Researchs rugged tablets impacted law enforcement and first responders agility, efficiency, and responsiveness so significantly.
The Importance of Response Time
When it comes to law enforcement or first responders saving lives, time is often the deciding factor. How long does it take for them to reach the injured individual? How long does it take for crucial assistance to be administered?
In a critical situation, five minutes can make a big difference rugged tablets make that difference. Due to the tablets powerful and reliable GPS capabilities, first responders can arrive on the scene in the quickest time possible.
Once the location is received or inputted, the tablets GPS will provide the fastest route. It is designed to be a hassle-free process that doesnt waste a single precious second. As soon as the personnel is alerted that there is a critical situation, they will be on the move. As well, with GNSS rugged tablets, officers and responders have access to tech that is connected to satellites that provide them with real-time information. This capability can alter the route based on current traffic situations, blocked roads, accidents ahead, and other obstacles so that first responders arrive on with no delay.
Battery Power
With a rugged tablet, officers and other law enforcement personnel can rely on non-stop operation. This is necessary in a field where double shifts with extra hours are normal and personnel are often on-the-go without the ability to stop more specifically, without the ability to re-charge the tablet.
DT Researchs rugged tablets were designed with this need in mind. The tablets were built to match law enforcement’s specific and unique needs and even to exceed their expectations in how reliable a device such as a tablet can be.
Models such as the DT301T and the DT311H are installed with a high performance yet energy-efficient Intel processor, and hot-swappable battery packs for easy power replenishing, with optional high capacity batteries to work even longer before needing to be swapped. This can be a life-saver when on the job and in the field, for both the officers/responders and the citizens receiving help.
Budget Concerns
As most personnel who work for the government know, especially law enforcement, getting the funding for purchasing new equipment can be an extreme challenge. Police departments are constantly fighting for more money. With rugged tablets, personnel can gain access to all of the computing options needed in one device. As well, DT Researchs rugged tablets are built to last the return on investment will add up year after year.
Varied Usage
As a law enforcement official or a first responder, no day is ever the same. With every shift brings new situations and new challenges. Rugged tablets are designed with powerful capabilities to help these individuals navigate anything that occurs on the job.
With satellite capabilities, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, officers and responders can communicate with each other as well as superiors who are in different locations in real-time. This allows for everyone to have access to the most updated information and make informed decisions.
Being that rugged tablets have an Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, officers and responders can access and input data at real-time rates.
Some other capabilities for varied usage include:
- Private Networks
- Restricted Access
- Data Retrieval
- Remote Wiping
- Water and Dust Resistant
- EMI and EMC Tolerance
- Durability for Weather Conditions
- Shock and Vibration Protection
- Smart Card/CAC Reader
- Camera (for evidence collection or situation assessment)
For a responsibility as important as the ones law enforcement and first responders hold, a powerful device that can keep up is needed. DT Researchs rugged tablets were built and designed to be durable computing solutions law enforcement and first responders need every single day on the job.
