Law enforcement departments face many challenges each day—and these challenges do not tolerate failed equipment, shoddy wireless connections or fragile casings. Police officers require powerful technologies that stand up to the most demanding physical challenges—exactly what Toughbook delivers.

Sacramento County Sheriff's Department
Case Study |
As a result of an unwitnessed officer fatality, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department decided to invest in a mobile digital video system that would enable them to capture evidence and protect officers in the field. The department outfitted all 260 sheriff vehicles with the Toughbook Arbitrator, giving officers increased security, eye-witness corroboration, and peace of mind. Using cutting edge technology, the Toughbook Arbitrator automatically records video during traffic stops and high-speed chases. Sacramento County also employs the Arbitrator's wireless microphone, which clips to the officer's belt, and records sound up to a distance of 1000 feet from the squad car. Once the incident is captured, the footage is automatically uploaded to a secure server, making the recordings secure and tamper-proof while ensuring the submission of reliable courtroom evidence.

Incident and Evidence Recording Case Study |
Digital videos of true-life incidents have become a new weapon in law enforcement crime fighting and a powerful ally for prosecuting cases in today’s courtrooms. However, there are defense attorneys ready and willing to negate such video evidence as inadmissible because of potential corruption points throughout the evidence management process. The equipment that captures evidence footage must stand up to harsh field conditions, while yielding high-quality footage. Additionally, these systems must result in evidence capable of withstanding the harsh scrutiny of the courtroom, while keeping a secure log of evidence activity. This case study explores the technology and capabilities that make such a mobile digital video system possible.
