They aren’t the first force to be issued smartphones by any means.. but the boys in blue in San Diego have just got their brand new Treos.

And what I hear you ask are they going to do with them? well they have their own apps

1.  CalPhoto gives officers access to photos on file with the California Department of Justice.
2. eCAD is a multifaceted dispatching system that facilitates calls in the field and runs criminal records, plates and firearm registration to assist officers with a quick response to field situations.
3. Arjis Global Query 2 is an investigative tool that lets officers see extensive histories on people and vehicles, as well as cross-reference driver’s licenses and view booking photos.

The ability to develop, securely host and run custom applications on Treo smartphones presents a unique opportunity for the SDPD IT department, as well as the customers they serve. Officers also use Treo smartphones for access to calendar (with court-date reminders), email, contacts and tasks as well as other Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile business tools, such as Word Mobile, Excel(R) Mobile and PowerPoint(R) Mobile, that come standard on the Treo 700w smartphone.(1)

And just a few games too I bet
