Policing an area as vast as Western Australia is a testing business. The Western Australia Police Service needed to improve its ability to conduct background checks on people and vehicles. It wanted to explore the potential of a mobile solution that could deliver this functionality to frontline officers across the State. Fujitsu and Microsoft worked with WA Police to develop a prototype application that allows police to conduct mainframe queries on a hand-held computer using a secure, high-speed wireless data service. A three-week pilot proved spectacularly successful, with the application enabling police to catch criminals on the run and identify suspended drivers.
