9 ways wearables support smarter policing & officer safety
Wearables are bringing a whole new dimension to police technology by providing anytime, anywhere access to information and improving situational awareness for officers, regardless of assignment. Smartwatches can function as a wrist-worn computer-aided dispatch (CAD) device that's always with the officer — so they get instant updates and alerts when on the move. This infographic will help you envision the possibilities, as it takes you along as a patrol officer handles a suspicious subject call and then becomes involved in a foot pursuit. You'll see how a wearable can improve the safety of the officer by auto-notifying dispatch of the situation and then providing real-time location and activity updates as the foot chase unfolds. Learn more about the public safety technology that's improving officer safety and access to information.
