Equipping
the Public Safety Vehicle
of the Future
The Advanced
Law Enforcement & Response Technology (ALERT)TM Vehicle can help
fight crime and reduce traffic congestion and accidents. It has
a digital camera and hand-held computer with citation, accident,
and DWI arrest report forms and a global positioning system for
precise location information. Everything is controlled by a single
touch-screen in the vehicle's cockpit. An officer can transfer a
document or a picture (such as a missing child or a wanted criminal)
from one vehicle to another in as little as 30 seconds
Federal
Statistics Online
Everyone knows
the U.S. Census Bureau counts how many people we have. But do you
know that 69 other federal agencies collect and analyze statistics
on everything from agricultural output to banking data to the top
20 hazardous substances to on time flight records, to weekly earnings?
What federal statistics do you need today? It's on this one-stop
site. PS: Arsenic is the number one hazardous substance.
