Cpl. Steve Shephard of the National City Police Department was featured on the Channel 6 news recently. Cpl. Shephard explains the use of his ARJIS handheld device (PDA) and how it assists in the identification of a gang member.
There are more than 700 ARJIS PDAs in use by 32 agencies around the San Diego region. Officers in the field can access mobile versions of several law enforcement databases, they can search outstanding warrants and view booking photos. Future enhancements are being developed that will expand the functionality of the PDAs.
The program has been extremely successful and has resulted in numerous positive identifications, arrests and case cancellations.
The wireless project helps ARJIS to meet our commitment to get the right information to the right people at the right time.
