Using technology to increase efficiency
The reality of today's economy is that most law enforcement agencies must ensure they make the most of their resources—to increase productivity and wisely manage budgets. The key is to have the most efficient, cost-effective processes possible, and new technology is a real asset. Using rugged handheld computers like the TDS Recon, officers performing traffic patrol, parking enforcement and other in-the-field duties can work faster and far more efficiently by making use of paperless data, wireless printing and instant data uploads and downloads. The versatility, mobility and toughness of the Recon make it ideal for any aspect of law enforcement, including motorcycle patrols and even on-site investigative work.

Beyond handheld computing, TDS also offers other technology that can help in specific areas of law enforcement. For example, Trimble T-Ticket mobile citation software runs on the Recon, providing a streamlined, time-saving solution for policemen issuing tickets. In another application, Nikon Automated Investigation Measurement System (AIMS) from TDS lets you investigate accident and crime scenes with a level of precision never before possible.
