Evaluation of location-based services for police: GPS-enabled cell phones and laptops for applications of law enforcement patrol

University of Nebraska - Lincoln, partnering with the Lincoln Police Department (LPD) will evaluate whether existing commercial, off the shelf, hand-held computing devices using geospatial technology can efficiently increase police capacity. Geocoded police data will be incorporated into the moving map of an automated vehicle location (AVL) system, so police officers are constantly being presented with information about events or persons relevant to their current position.
