The Capital Wireless Information Net (CapWIN) has added the University System of Maryland police barracks to its list of clients. CapWIN has been talking with USM police departments since 2007 and we are pleased to announce the University System of Maryland police chiefs have received a grant which will allow each barrack to join the CapWIN membership group. CapWIN will start providing its information sharing services to the 11 Police barracks that are a part of the University System of Maryland. The first campus police department to obtain CapWIN access will be UMD Baltimore County.
Membership to CapWIN?s mobile client enables:
- Live incidents and events in their jurisdiction and across the region. Including data from transportation, transit, public safety, and emergency management agencies
- Local queuing of law enforcement queries ? even in no-connectivity environments
- Persistent ?store and forward? messaging ? never miss an incident update or alert
- Geo-located incidents on an interactive map, and enables users with standard GPS-enabled mobile devices to view and track their position relative to incidents
