Orange County Sheriff's Department Goes Mobile29 January 2005
NetMotion(R) Wireless Inc., the industry-leading provider of mobility management solutions, announced today that the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) has selected and deployed NetMotion Mobility XE(TM) for use by its investigative division. Using
Mobility XE, the California agency's 150 investigative officers will gain
reliable and seamless wireless access to critical law enforcement applications
and databases over any networks they use or traverse. In addition, Mobility
XE, which replaces another vendor's product, will be deployed in 200 patrol
cars by the end of this month.
"Mobility XE from NetMotion Wireless has performed as advertised and
exactly as we expected," said Ed Lee, project manager for Information Systems
at the Orange County Sheriff's Department. "Now deputies can perform their
jobs with greater flexibility and efficiency."
The Investigative Unit Implementation
The OCSD Investigations Division is responsible for solving some of the
most serious crimes in Orange County, an area that includes Buena Park,
Orange, Santa Ana, The Canyons, Tustin, Yorba Linda, and Anaheim. The
division investigates homicides, sex crimes, vice and gang activity, and
economic crimes, in addition to conducting general investigations. The large
geographic area and severity of crimes the investigators cover necessitates
easy-to-use, continuous access to essential, real-time criminal information.
The investigators required a mobility management solution that provides
seamless access to multiple data networks, key applications, and criminal
databases.
Using NetMotion Mobility XE, Investigators can now perform critical tasks
such as real-time justice system queries into criminal history, local OCSD
databases, and jail information, as well as state and federal databases. They
also have access to other commonly used computer applications, including
e-mail, the OCSD intranet, Internet sites, and shared network-based documents.
Using their new wireless data solution, investigators can communicate quickly
with judges, obtain an arrest or search warrant, or request backup support
from other sheriff's personnel while monitoring the site of suspected criminal
activity.
"NetMotion Wireless has developed a stellar reputation for providing the
best mobility management solution available today -- and for creating
successful mobile computing deployments where other vendors have failed," said
Andy Willett, SVP, Sales & Marketing for NetMotion Wireless. "We're proud to
add the Orange County Sheriff's Department to the nearly 600 organizational
customers NetMotion Wireless serves."
