The City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a $4.1 million contract with a company to provide software for laptops police use to file reports while on patrol.
Police patrol vehicles currently have laptops, but Mobile Public Safety Director Lawrence Battiste told FOX10 News that the system is clunky. He said officers are spending more time at crime and accident scenes than they would like.
Battiste said the system did not allow multiple officers to assist with filling out different parts of a report. The new software from Hexagon OnCall Records will allow more than one officer to access a report at the same time. It also will allow for more efficient transmission of data from the 911 system to the MPD’s communication system, he said.
