Embracing Technology on the Job

RESISTANCE FROM LEADERSHIP
We hear it at trade shows all the time. "I'd love to get smartphones for our team, but our commander will never go for it." There's no doubt, the smartphone is a powerful tool. But many people aren't quite convinced that the perceived risks are worth the reward when it comes to deploying the technology in the field. For some departments, it's a big investment with a few unknown factors.
What are the benefits beyond calling and texting? How secure is the data? Will standard phone cases be sufficient for protection?

GETTING AHEAD OF THE CURVE
With various situational awareness apps on the market, and secure device encryption, there’s no reason for SWAT teams and other tactical units to fly blind when attempting coordination. With vehicle and body worn mounting solutions, they can have hands free access to those apps whether they’re driving, on foot, or receiving a live feed from cameras or drones.
In addition to robust navigation capabilities, team members can set geo fencing perimeters, drop pins supported with photos and text, and see in real time where other team members are. These features allow for efficient coordination, and greatly increase your team’s ability to complete the mission safely. There's an array of secure software available, like Blueforce Development and Intrepid Networks that provide user friendly alternatives to some of the traditional government issued platforms.
