"We have been successfully using BIO-key's PacketCluster Patrol in conjunction with the Springfield, Mo., Police Department system," said Lieutenant Dave Hastings, of the Greene County Sheriff Department. "Our experience with the solution has been so positive, plus the direct communication capability of deputy to deputy has reduced the radio traffic so much, that we knew we had to get more units. These new units will enable deputies in the smaller neighboring communities to have access to the same information and capabilities. This will be a huge benefit because now they too will have immediate access to the critical information they need to serve the community."
