Police leaders today face a challenging mandate: do more with less. Despite tight or declining budgets, departments are expected to increase transparency, speed response times and adapt to evolving threats while prioritizing officer and community safety. To meet this challenge, police departments across the U.S. are turning to a new generation of mobile and in-car technologies that safely and cost-effectively provide officers with advanced computing capabilities in the field. This includes the Chicago Police Department, which recently partnered with Samsung and Havis to re-imagine the mobile computing experience for its more than 10,000 sworn officers.
In this webinar, public safety technology experts from Samsung and Havis will share insights into how departments like Chicago Police use mobile and in-car technologies to enhance operational efficiency, officer safety and community engagement. This discussion will tackle the tough questions that often stand in the way of new technology adoption, especially in today’s resource-conscious environment. These include evaluating cost effectiveness, managing IT staffing constraints, meeting diverse security and safety demands, and winning officer trust. Don’t miss this opportunity to ask questions, see a real-world demo and walk away with a roadmap for smarter, more connected policing.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Hear how Chicago Police Department has streamlined its IT operations while better supporting the connectivity and information needs of officers on the go.
- See a live demo that shows how to use Samsung DeX to safely deliver a user-friendly computing experience from any vehicle with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and Havis docking station.
- Learn how today’s versatile mobility solutions can reliably replace bulky laptops, cameras, recorders and other equipment with a single mobile device to increase officer convenience and provide a more connected user experience from the field to the vehicle to the station.
- Take a deeper dive into the IT and security implications of a mobile-first computing approach that streamlines device provisioning and maintenance for a lower total cost of ownership.
- Better understand the state-of-play of mobile tech for law enforcement and the roadmap for what a mobile modernization initiative could look like in today’s safety and budget-conscious environment.
