How utilizing constant connectivity benefits sheriff deputies in their important day-to-day duties
County law enforcement officials need always-on Internet connectivity in county buildings, such as in sheriff’s headquarters, sub-stations, jails, and courts. Having the ability to deploy branch, mobile, or pop-up networks when necessary and quickly — because deputies need access to digital and connected technologies to address emergencies — helps provide life-saving assistance and bring order to chaotic situations.
Cradlepoint's ruggedized and ultra-reliable solutions also keep sheriff’s deputies prepared and connected when out in the field, helping to improve resource management and increase response times.
A county sheriff’s primary responsibility is to staff the county jails, provide inmate transportation to court, and provide security in their county courts. These important tasks require secure, worry-free connectivity without having valuable time wasted with unstable networks or troubleshooting network issues.
The following paragraphs illustrate common scenarios county sheriff’s department personnel carry out, the technology and applications they depend on, and how constant connectivity is an essential aspect in their improved communication and response times.
Sheriff’s Duty —
Maintaining security and control over inmates arrested and booked into their jail by agencies within their county. Their duties also include transporting inmates to court appearances as well as providing security and bailiff services at the county courts.
Cradlepoint Use Case —
Cradlepoint’s services for branch can be deployed in the jails for secure networking with benefits such as secure web filtering to block inmates from certain sites, track Internet use, and protect the network from web-based threats. Cradlepoint solutions for branch can also be installed in court rooms and hospitals for secure network connectivity. For mobile networks Cradlepoint’s services can be utilized in prisoner transportation, such as in buses, vans, and patrol cars.
