We're (By we, mainly I, as Managing Director) are discussing deploying mobile data solutions for patrol vehicles. We are a private security company, (Wisconsin calls them security or private police, we use private police as a selling point), and are planning out our mobile patrol service.
The nature of the contracts requires information management, such as paperless reporting system, subject/suspect/event databases, etc. That stuff we can do, being an arm of an IT company.
Now, I can look for Motorola MDCs or MDTs, and emulate the police, or, I can go another route, and use cheap laptops with cellular modems, or nextel iDEN modems.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with MDC use in private security, where part of the contractual goals include protecting life and property. So far, the only information I know about second hand is Critical Intervention Services of Clearwater, FL, but their info a PR.
