Authors: Daniel Richards, Leslie Edwards, Leslie Edwards

Creating a useful, mobile application for use in police and fire vehicles can be a challenging endeavor. Through the use of carefully constructed mapping and geoprocessing services, in combination with streamlined and intuitive interfaces, an application can be developed to serve the specific needs of law enforcement and other public safety professionals. This approach also brings together data and services from other business areas to create a comprehensive tool for mining information pertaining to a emergency incident or call for service. In this case, the Flex API was leveraged to provide the tools to meet the demands of this application.
