Technology is the great equalizer in law enforcement. Hometown, U.S.A. now can afford state-of-the-art software for real-time collaboration with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies while on the beat.

Founded in 2001 in New Jersey, Info-Cop sets the new standard for wireless-based law enforcement information software, providing police officers in the field with direct access to local, state and federal crime databases in seconds.

With Info-Cop, hundreds of public safety departments throughout the country are providing thousands of police officers in the field with direct, immediate access to local, state and federal crime databases.

Instead of relying on limited information from dispatchers through two-way radio calls, officers use Info-Cop to tap into a wireless computer network from laptop and tablet PCs, in-station PCs, Pocket PCs, and smart phones, gaining access to complete motor vehicle and warrant information, as well as any photo images. Using a central server, Info-Cop allows officers to query the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS), state criminal records and individual computer aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems (RMS).

Info-Cop improves officer and public safety by enabling real-time, inter-departmental tracking of summons or warnings issued on the Info-Cop system. The combination of powerful software and rapid access to state and national information over wireless networks enables officers to assess situations quickly and accurately, and to act accordingly. Info-Cop continually updates its customer-driven wireless solutions for the public safety sector, based on customers? needs and feedback.
