Law Enforcement Computing Devices: How to Get the Best of Both Worlds

We are faced with tough decisions all the time. You know, like turkey sub or roast beef?  Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead? Yankees or Red Sox?

Ok, so maybe those decisions aren’t exactly critical, but nevertheless, we do have to make countless choices every day.

When it comes to law enforcement, one decision that can be tough to make is whether to purchase laptops or tablets for your department’s fleet of patrol vehicles. If you’re looking for rugged law enforcement computing devices (which I would certainly recommend over consumer-grade devices), you can’t go wrong with Getac. Getac has a history of manufacturing computing devices for the military, which means their products are the toughest and most durable around.

After you’ve determined what you need, here are three devices with rave reviews that you may want to consider.

  1. “We’ve decided to go with laptops.”

    Getac’s B300 Rugged Laptop

With the industry’s best 5-year warranty, Getac’s B300 Rugged Notebook has a sunlight readable display. The ultra-rugged B300 has a full magnesium alloy case and shock-protected removable HDD, is vibration and drop resistant, and can withstand a wide temperature range and humidity variations.

 

  1. “Tablets are the choice for us.”

    Getac’s F110 Rugged Tablet

Getac’s F110 has a nice large touchscreen, but what’s even more compelling is the tablet’s dual hot-swappable batteries. If you’re about to change shifts or if you’re in the middle of completing some critical paperwork and the battery is dying, there is no need to power down for a battery change.

 

  1. “We want both. Now what do we do?”

    Getac’s V110 Rugged Convertible

Fortunately for your agency, Getac manufactures a rugged convertible computer. Getac’s V110 is a fully-rugged convertible notebook, with the ability to swivel down from a laptop to a tablet. The touchscreen is a large 11.6 inches and the keyboard is backlit for easy viewing in dark conditions. The best part is that even though it is remarkably tough, it is thinner and lighter than previous models.

Along with your new law enforcement computing devices, you may also want to consider peripherals, such as driver’s license scanners to make eCitation a breeze, mounting devices for safety and convenience, space-saving mobile printers and more.

But easy now. You might want to save these additional decisions for another day!
