Mobile GIS in Police Vehicles for Henrico County, Virginia Track: Homeland Security Author(s): Alfredo Frauenfelder The County of Henrico, Virginia is a municipal suburban locality with a population of about 265,000 people. In order to support public safety and homeland security efforts, the County's Division of Police, Department of Information Technology, and the GIS Office deployed an Esri MapObjects solution in the County's Public Safety vehicles, including all 490 police cars and all emergency response mobile command vehicles. GIS layers, including cadastral, planimetric, digital orthocorrected aerial photography, and road centerlines with address ranges are loaded in the mobile computers docked in each vehicle. This is integrated with the mobile dispatch information system with a MapObjects solution that geocodes emergency calls and provides comprehensive planning and response capabilities to field officers.
