Lancashire Police are to be the first UK police force to give 3,500 of their officers access to their data network from wherever they are to allow them to stay in touch, and complete reports while out on the beat. This will be done by a mixture of Car based terminals, and O2 XDA devices

"The contract with O2 will allow Lancashire officers to send and receive colour images of wanted, suspect and missing persons; check local intelligence databases against suspect persons or vehicles; undertake searches on the Police National Computer; enter a wide range of reports direct to their portable computer before transmitting them back to base; handle e-mails, and other capabilities."

It’s taken nearly 4 years to get this far.. and other police forces such as the British Transport Police, and Cheshire are shortly to roll out their solutions
