Who's able to run names & plates via in-car computer?

Posted about 4 years ago I know this has been around for a while now, I'm just curious as to how many agencies actually have the ability to run their own NCIC inquiries, names/DOBs, and plates, from in the car, with the computer, and not verbally through a dispatcher. And, hows the system work for you, is a pain or is it easy? |

| Posted about 4 years ago We have that option on our MDC's, but they are based on cell phone connectivity....so if you are in an area with no service, you are out of luck! |

| Posted about 4 years ago We can run names, cars, stolen guns, boats, atv if they are registered which they rarely are through our in car computer. It works pretty fast since we use verizon air cards instead of in car modems. |

The military is obviously still in the stone age with our comms as far as for LE, so I doubt I'll ever see it. My MDT is good for Word, a crappy map, and the camera program that works when it wants to! |

| Posted about 4 years ago We can do that and a bit more... My past experiance with air cards is that they are not as reliable as MDTs (in rural areas). |

| Posted about 4 years ago I can do it and ...I can also get in-state driving records ( the whole thing) , drivers license photos ( this is handy) and in depth registration information. I can also get the prison inmate listings and mug shot photos from the state prison system. I cannot get out-of-state driving records or photos but can get drivers license info and reg info. |

| Posted about 4 years ago We've had it now for over 2 years. We are on a different system than we started. We started with Premier MDC. We are using Visual something or another. We just swapped over. The new system rocks. We can run everything except criminal and driver's history. We even can access jail files to a limited extent. If you run a tag, it will let you know if it's been stopped previously.

| Posted about 4 years ago We can run pretty much everything NCIC can, including DL photos. Its a nice system, makes me wonder how we ever got along without them. |

| Posted about 4 years ago We can run BMV (driving records and license plates, as well as stolen), NCIC, Criminal History, and receive driver's license photos in the cars. We also have an intermet connection. Nothing like that for the motorcycles though. "You can't lead from behind" Gen'l James Longstreet, CSA |

| Posted about 4 years ago Excuse me, but now I have a suggestion. (I knew I shouldn't have read any "techno" articles first thing in the morning!) Why aren't ALL police cars equipped with "MOBILE Automatic Plate Identifier Systems" that are linked to a NATIONAL database?

| Posted about 4 years ago We've been able to run plates for the past two years. We just got an update last month that when we run a plate we get the vehicle information, the dl photo of the registerd owner along with any criminal history or warrants. Life is great. |
