In-car Computers on way to rural law enforcement agencies Greensburg, Russell Springs Police Departments in CM 7 county area among 78 agencies to receive Mobile Data Terminals to help process electronic warrants. Service success rate has risen from 10% in areas using solely paper based systems to a statewide rate of more than 80% with new system. By Allison Gardiner Martin Communicatins Director, Kentucky Attorney General's Office Attorney General Jack Conway today announced that 78 rural law enforcement agencies in Kentucky will receive mobile data terminals (MDTs) to help process electronic warrants. The terminals are computers that will be available in officers' cruisers. Officers can enter information into the computer during a traffic stop or after responding to a scene and find out if a person has an outstanding warrant. General Conway presented two of the MDTs today to Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton and Frankfort Police Chief Mark Wilhoite. "This helps put technology in the hands of officers while they are out in the field," General Conway said. "It gives officers the tools they need to almost instantly determine whether or not a person has an outstanding warrant." The Office of the Attorney General purchased the MDTs utilizing funds from the Rural Law Enforcement Grant that was part of the American Resources and Recovery Act. The office received the $3.94 million grant in 2009 to implement the eWarrants program statewide. The eWarrants program is now up and running statewide and the distribution of MDTs is the final phase of implementation. "The eWarrants program is a tremendous success," General Conway said. "Since its implementation, we are seeing a dramatic decrease in the backlog of unserved warrants, and officers are able to determine whether there is a warrant for a suspect in another county." The service rate for warrants has gone from an estimated low of 10 percent in areas using solely a paper-based system to a statewide average service rate of more than 80 percent. Law Enforcement Agencies Receiving MDTS: Anderson County Sheriff, Ballard County Sheriff, Bardstown Police Department, Barren County Sheriff, Beattyville Police Department, Beaver Dam Police Department, Bell County Sheriff, Boyd County Sheriff, Breckenridge County Sheriff, Caldwell County Sheriff, Calloway County Sheriff, Carroll County Sheriff,* This project was supported by award No. 2009-SD-B9-0067, awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs.
