Police Departments Nationwide Choose ROCKY Over 1,000 ROCKY’s To Be Deployed For Police Department Use
ARCADIA , CA -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 07/10/2001 -- As technology changes how the average professional, criminal, and public safety official alike operate on a daily bASLs, law enforcement agencies are finding that incorporating state-of-the-art technology is both beneficial and necessary. Police departments from Nashville, Tennessee; Sarasota, Florida; Arcadia, California; and Tulsa, Oklahoma, in an effort to satisfy their need for a durable and efficient method of utilizing technological resources, have recently elected to equip their officers and staff with AMREL’s ROCKY ruggedized notebook computing systems. These investments totaling over $4 Million combined are exemplary of the investments many law enforcement agencies are choosing to make nationwide. AMREL’s ROCKY was selected after several police departments conducted thorough evaluations of the ROCKY and its competitors, and found the ROCKY to be the most qualified contender. The systems purchased vary in Configurator from the basic standard-issue ROCKY to more customized, logo-bearing, Alpha-star touch screen enhanced systems.
The ROCKY’s will be utilized in a variety of capacities within each police department; however, the majority of the units will be mounted in patrol vehicles and configured to interface with existing networks. The ROCKY’s used for in-vehicle applications can be removed from the mount, and operated independently from the vehicle in laptop form. Through a combination of hardware and software applications, officers will be able to rely on the ROCKY’s to perform multiple functions, including: communications, database navigation, report writing, and crime mapping.
Police officers from these and other departments have noted that one of the characteristics most attractive to the public safety sector is ROCKY’s combination of ruggedness and flexibility. Because ROCKY was designed with an open architecture, many unique system requirements can be met -without compromising the system’s integrity as a ruggedized unit- through AMREL’s extensive device integration options. All four police departments are eagerly anticipating full deployment, and are confident that the ROCKY will more than satisfy their current and future needs.
AMREL is proud that ROCKY is the system of choice for these and many other police departments nationwide, and is enthusiastic about the number of inquiries and orders recently received from law enforcement and other public safety agencies; however, AMREL believes that true success is contingent upon a company’s ability to differentiate its products and services, and its ability to utilize growth as a means to generate resources to develop and incorporate new technology, offer competitive rates, and introduce new products.
