The cost of mobile, "laptop" computers has decreased and
their capabilities have increased, allowing public safety agencies to look
at creating a mobile office for the police officers working in the field.
Mobile offices can give the officer access to local, state and national
database systems while at the same time reducing voice radio traffic.
Officers will not only have access to the databases, but will also be able
to produce professional reports in less time. Real world results have
shown that an officer with a mobile data computer can reduce, by up to two
hours, the amount of time they spend waiting for data.
