Tech Talk: The Benefits and Limitations of 5G for Law Enforcement

Why is 5G important to police?

Police departments’ most valuable resource is officers’ time. Maximizing officers’ time, then, must be a top priority of any list when spending money on technology. Therefore, for 5G technologies to be a valuable investment for law enforcement, they must be a force multiplier of officers’ time, reducing time tomorrow to far below time spent today on similar activities, while increasing officer safety, providing others access to situational awareness, and enhancing department-wide command and control of an increasingly complex work environment.
