Mobile access to intelligence information

Airwave and ABM are to integrate the Airwave Mobile Criminal Intelligence application with ABM’s information management platform (IMS).

This will provide police officers with real-time access to time-critical information from handheld devices and enable them to better capture and utilise intelligence, incident and crime information.

Airwave’s Simon Jones explained: “The benefits of providing mobile access to a force’s information are significant, speeding the capture and access to time-critical information… the ability to provide officers with mobile access to information held by other forces introduces greater data sharing and interoperability between organisations.”

The Airwave Mobile Criminal Intelligence application works with the Airwave Mobile Application Gateway service, a hosted platform that enables its users to access mobile information from a variety of mobile devices and mobile networks. The resulting ABM interface for the Airwave Mobile Criminal Intelligence application will be available to all forces.
