PDAs help Warwickshire Police save timeAugust 16th, 2010
 Warwickshire police sees real potential in the use of PDAs, Publictechnology.net reported. The British county trialled 33 HTC 6500 handsets in three priority Safer Neighbourhood Teams, which provided rapid access to a wealth of practical information including email, maps and briefing documents via GPRS and airwave technology on a secure connection, has opened its eyes to the promise of mobile technology. “We have been enthused by the way the technology has helped protect the community from harm as well as give daily re-assurance,” customer contact manager, communications at the Force Tony Taylor, told PublicTechnology.net.
“You are dealing with data that is accurate and you’ve got a very clear idea of what your team are currently doing and where they are doing it. And it’s more immediate: you don’t have this time-lag of paperwork going on, so your crime pattern information and so on are all bang up to date,” added Inspector Mark Payne, Warwickshire Police’s business change manager. Home Office estimates suggest that an officer with a PDA could save as much as 99 minutes per shift.
