Handheld PCs for police
SUSSEX Police has been given £456,000 for state of the art, handheld computers that will help their officers to spend more time in the community.
Officers will be piloting the handheld technology that will enable them to respond faster and more appropriately to a range of situations.
This could include receiving photographs of missing and wanted people, gathering photographic evidence at a scene, and access to databases, such as the Police National Computer and intelligence systems.
Officers will also be able to complete forms online while on patrol, reducing bureaucracy and the number of times they need to return to the police station.
For comprehensive coverage of all the stories making the local news, read Friday's edition of the West Sussex County Times newspaper. Visitors to www.wscountytimes.co.uk who wish to purchase a copy of the County Times newspaper but live outside our circulation area can do so by telephoning 01403 751200 and asking for reception. The cost of the newspaper plus postage in England is 1.53 which can be paid for by credit card. Overseas rates are also available, on request.
