Security and Local Government

Local Government, the police and fire service are all under increasing pressure to make operational cost savings and at the same time maximise revenue streams.

Therefore, investments that deliver long-term savings are of paramount importance. For example, the police service can effectively use RFID technology to track and tag evidence. It takes on average 7 visits to close an incident, and the chances of information and evidence being compromised increases the longer a case is open. RFID on board the vehicle is a smart solution. The ET1 Tablet can analyse driver behaviour. Forms can be completed online, saving a paper trail that would deplete half the Amazon!

Research suggests that the ROI on a £2K investment for kitting out a police vehicle is a saving of 10K a few short years down the line. Statistics have shown that one breathalyzer is lost every day. They cost in the region of £650 per unit. If these units are tagged losses will decrease significantly. Similarly, in the area of Defence, tracking of assets has huge potential. Networking for schools can provide a whole host of benefits to learning. Many areas of local government from Waste disposal to social housing have opportunities to revolutionise the way they operate. Motorola have a trusted adviser status in Government, and were the suppliers of the radio and airwave communications for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
