Situation
The sheriff’s department of a large county was in need of a network transformation of its legacy wired system in order to support emerging technologies. The county was planning to adopt advanced technologies such as body cameras and in-car video recording and uploading, all of which required next-generation wireless technologies with a cloud-controlled infrastructure. The department turned to SAC, who already had an established relationship with the county.
Solution
SAC stepped in and leveraged its cross-functional expertise in network, security, wireless and cloud technologies to provide:
An assessment of the current network architecture and design
Updated network design recommendations with enhanced security features
The planning, execution, and validation of the wireless and cloud integration
Results
The network transformation was a success and allowed the department to utilize a more secure and efficient means of recording and uploading data feeds from the officer body camera and in-car recording systems. This led to improved situational awareness and de-escalation capabilities, thanks to the advanced imaging and sound recording capabilities and seamless connectivity between officers on the street and their remote command centers. Additionally, law enforcement was given real-time forensic evidence to make more informed decisions and improve transparency and community trust.
