NYPD cops to get tablet computers, smartphones

Brolin, Talisman


Crimefighting? Maybe there's an app for that.


In the coming weeks, NYPD cops will be getting 6,000 of what officials called 'ruggedized' tablets - one for every squad car - as well as up to 41,000 smartphones. Rugged tablets are touchscreen laptop computers meant for outdoor or other extreme conditions.


'Christmas has come early for the NYPD,' Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said Thursday as he announced the high-tech acquisition. 'I've been wanting this for some time.'


The new devices will be paid for with $160 million secured by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's office from banks caught violating U.S. sanctions by hiding money for foreign regimes.
