"San Mateo County is a great place to live. Unfortunately there are law enforcement challenges that must be addressed in order to keep our communities safer. This system has allowed us to tackle some of those challenges."

"When one agency works real hard on street crime for example, it tends to push the criminal element into another jurisdiction. This system allows these agencies to coordinate their efforts to curb crime. Time is of the essence when you're fighting crime. Our officers have been able to get more information faster and all at one time."

Sheriff Don Horsley,
San Mateo County, CA

"We have found that access to the information has improved the safety to the officers and the effectiveness of the response or the effectiveness of the management of the specific problem they are resolving. During the first week, while handling a suspicious vehicle/person call our officers were able to identify a wanted person from south Louisiana, obtain his photograph and access his misdemeanor and felony history, all from the confines of the police unit."

Police Chief Randal Hermes,
Ruston, LA

"Within a few days of learning to use the system, Thinkstream's tools brought success: a felony and drug-related arrest and a solved missing person's case. Thinkstream has taken a small town like Tickfaw and moved us into the 21st century. It's been nothing but good for us. We're loving it!"

Police Chief Jimmy Sparacello,
Tickfaw, LA

"This system puts us all on the same page. Now we're able to access all of the information on file in a given case in a matter of minutes. This will undoubtedly raise the level of effectiveness of our judicial process."

District Attorney Schuyler Marvin,
Bossier Parish, LA

"The department's partnership with Thinkstream has been a boost to the officers in the area of preventing and solving crime. Accessing the information through Thinkstream's Desktop Detective software, officers are able to verify information on a suspect more quickly, which in turn, means they're able to solve more crimes and expedite arrests more efficiently. We're very pleased so far, this system has been everything they said it would be and then some. Now our officers can get more information faster and all at one time."

Sheriff's Detective Tom Myrick,
Bossier Parish, LA

"The bad guys have been having a harder time getting away with crimes in Ouachita Parish lately thanks to software that allows law enforcement officers in the field there to access instantly and simultaneously local, state and national databases from laptop computers inside their patrol cars. With a single check of a name, we can access up to 70 agencies to see if there's a warrant for an arrest or if a person has a criminal background. This is definitely making it harder for the criminal to hide and helping us keep them off the streets."

Captain Bobby Baker,
Ouachita Sheriff's Department, LA

"The new system is already paying off for my officers. By being able to verify information on a suspect so quickly, officers have been able to expedite arrests more efficiently and safely."

Patrol Captain Bill Davis,
Ruston, LA

"The donation of the laptops, along with the wireless cards and Thinkstream, Inc. software, were welcomed wholeheartedly by the New Orleans officers. There are people who don't belong there and without background checks, checks; they had no way of knowing who the bad guys were. They're back in the game now."

Capt. Terry Lyle,
Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Department, LA

"This is a truly exciting time for San Diego County with the advent of our CAD to CAD connection project. This is the next step in our overall challenge to improve our interoperability in our region. Keeping all the stakeholders informed and creating an effective communication between Thinkstream and all our communications centers will be key to our success. One of the many values of this project to the San Diego region will be a near seamless ability to back each other up should any of our dispatch centers go down without interrupting services to our citizens"

Fire Chief of San Miguel Fire Protection District and President of the San Diego Fire Chiefs Association
