Mobile Data – realising the benefits

The implementation of in-car Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) technology has been a key technological advance for the MPS and part of its provision of 21st century policing to the people of London.

Officers now have direct remote access in their response vehicles to the Police National Computer (PNC), Computer Aided Despatch (CAD) messages, in-car mapping, Quick Address for address checks and a text messaging service and Patrol Supervisory functions giving Patrol Supervisors additional capacity to manage their response resources.
