Roll-out of Police tablets welcomed in the Hunter

BY TYLER FARDELL

The roll-out of mobile tablet devices for frontline officers across the state has been welcomed by Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald.

The devices will simplify the process of issuing infringements and allowing officers mobile access to police systems.

"These devices simplify the process of issuing infringements so officers don't have to return to the station meaning they spend more time out on the beat" Mr MacDonald said.

900 devices from the Mobile Policing Program have already been rolled out across the state with 72 devices going towards officers in the Hunter region.

"It will be of particular benefit to officers in country areas who travel long distances to return to their station to complete administrative tasks".
