Boosting communications and technology

“May these items and equipment boost your office’s capabilities, make our personnel work easier and faster, and contribute to better services to our clientele,” Brig. Gen. Jack Wanky said in a statement.
The grantees were selected according to their needs, Lt. Col. Arnel Solis, a spokesman for PRO6, said.
Importance of ICT
Information and communication technology, or ICT, is essential for police agencies to improve public safety, investigation, and crime prevention efficiency.
Having the ICT equipment, real-time data sharing, complex surveillance, digital evidence management, and efficient communication are made possible within the police divisions.
Officers are able to respond to situations more quickly and intelligently because of ICT technologies, which ultimately increases overall efficiency.
