The Advanced Law Enforcement and Response Technology (ALERT) patrol car played an important role in a high-profile drama in Bryan, Texas, during the fall of 1999. During a controversial trial, video cameras positioned around the courthouse provided pictures of the immediate area, but the ALERT patrol car mobile video camera substantially widened the view. As the car cruised the vicinity, real-time images were sent back to a central command post within the courthouse, allowing nine local, state, and federal agencies to share data and coordinate response. Although the ALERT system is still in the developmental stages, a new coalition is pursuing funding together in an effort to continue to advance the state of law enforcement information technologies. |
