Applying RFID to Police Services

  • Managing Equipment
  • Managing Inventory
  • Managing Personnel
  • Controlling Access
  • Each police force is tasked with providing high-quality services while continuously striving to become more cost-effective and business-focused. Our experience in customizing RFID solutions may be able to help Police departments improve their administration processes, asset and inventory monitoring, and personnel safety. Exploring RFID for Police Services  Police services organizations prioritize safety so it’s important to ensure that all documentation, resources, and staff have the most secure environment possible. In order to make safety a top priority it’s important to have an effective tracking system for staff, visitors, and all police service assets. GAO RFID’s experience in customizing the capabilities of RFID can be used to explore and develop solutions to simplify administration processes, increase safety, and protect assets.

    Applying Asset Tracking

    Everything from weaponry, to vehicles, to handcuffs, radios, and a variety of technological devices designed to make a police officer’s job easier are important tools for upholding the law. Because they’re important tools, they need to be properly managed in order to ensure effective maintenance and prevent loss. Every police services organization has a lot of paperwork to keep track of, and each piece of paper is a crucial link to not only the crimes reported daily, but also to the everyday routine of police service professionals. Every form and every piece of evidence is extremely valuable so it’s important to have a system for keeping inventory in a safe place and track its whereabouts when required. By affixing RFID Tags onto these items, the system  only allows authorized personnel access to the information. With our experience in deploying RFID technology to track assets, we can find a solution which makes it easier to track police equipment from firearms to patrol vehicles, and can keep track of maintenance logs and schedules to ensure all equipment is in top shape. Upon it’s implementation, it will also make it easy to locate documentation quickly and efficiently, while keeping documentation safe, visible, and easily accessible.

    Applying People Tracking

    In any police services organization, there’s a lot of people going in and out, so it’s important to keep everybody safe and have a thorough system for keeping track of everyone. It’s important to be prepared for emergencies because literally anything could happen, at any time. RFID tags can be used to verify the identity of visitors, and employees, and pinpoint peoples’ locations. With the knowledge we have gained from using RFID to track people, we can explore a way to monitor every tag, thereby allowing you to track their location in real-time via our web-based software.

    Applying Access Control

    Because security is an important part of the police services industry it’s important to keep outsiders out, and authorized personnel, and police service assets safe. The RFID system is a great way to control access to facilities, and make sure that only authorized personnel are wandering the premises. By using the fundamentals of RFID technology for access control, we may be able to provide a great way to control every door and garage on premises, assigning access levels to only the officers that require it. Every time an RFID Badge is used to access a locked door, the system will log it and provide a detailed report for administrators to review; this will help provide maximum visibility and security, throughout the building.
