Lowell Police have been working with Apple and the Zco Corporation since 2011 to develop software that enables police to use iPads, possibly in place of the traditional, and much more expensive, laptop computers in cruisers.

In "a matter of weeks, not months," another 20 to 25 iPads will be rolled out to detectives here in Lowell. Superintendent Lavallee tells me this could very well be a replacement for laptop computers in the future.

Earlier in the year, members of the Portsmouth, NH Fire Department were dispatched to a 911 emergency call. Upon finishing with the call, they looked at the screen of their smart devices running PublicEye^® to see another call. Due to visually seeing the call on the map, they headed there immediately. It wasn’t for several more minutes that the radio dispatch finally voiced out the call to them. By using PublicEye^®, they were able to respond faster and were now equipped with all known details before arriving.

Zco's public safety solution was featured at two events put together by Apple and technology supplier CDW-G. Zco’s Vice President of Business Development, Gary Mueller, was on hand to demonstrate how to upgrade legacy systems with mobile solutions to keep police officers and firefighters connected at all times.

Hudson, New Hampshire and Chesterfield, Missouri. — October 20, 2011 — Zco Corporation, developer of PublicEye^®, an iPad and Android based multifunctional law enforcement tool for police officers in the field and Larimore Associates, a leading provider of Computer Aided Dispatch Systems, have worked closely to make their products interoperable with each other. Customers will realize unprecedented choice and flexibility through improved interoperability between these systems.

Larimore’s CAD systems provide a high degree of automation for the critical processes in the medium and large size police departments. On the other hand, PublicEye^®, by using the latest mobile technologies, provides access to information for the officers in the field through an easy to use touch/voice interface. By integrating PublicEye^® with Larimore CAD systems, officers can see, instantly, the location and details of 911 calls and other incidents.

Walter White, the main character from the critically acclaimed Breaking Bad, has managed to avoid police time and time again. This got the PublicEye^® team thinking, would the outcome be any different had officers been armed with mobile technology? Could smartphones have captured the infamous Heisenberg?

The PublicEye^® team made the trip to IACP 2013 in Philadelphia, PA in October. Showcasing to over 10,000 attendees, the four-day expo was packed full of educational panels and the latest in police innovation. Read on for a look at our new PublicEye^® booth and some photos from the event!

Mark Boynton, the fire chief in Amherst, NH, has begun a pilot program with three iPads loaded with PublicEye^®. He sees the software as a vast improvement over the previous pager system, which required time to look up locations on a map. Any Amherst 911 fire call appears within seconds on maps on the department’s iPads. The maps also include fire hydrants, hazards, and other data points. Amherst was the first fire department in the country to begin using PublicEye^®.

The PublicEye^® application was recently featured on the Amherst, NH site of the Patch.com network. The article details the donation of two iPads from the local Wal-Mart store to the Amherst Fire Department, which will be used to test PublicEye^® in the field. "Zco is known for being one of the world's largest developers of custom mobile applications and we are excited to be working with them on the continued development of this important tool," says Amherst Fire Chief Mark Boynton in the article.
