Funded by Leicestershire Constabulary Evaluation of the pilot deployment of Mobile Data Terminals in Leicestershire Constabulary response vehicles Project staff: Dr Louise Cooke, Dr Tom Jackson, Rachael Lindsay Duration: April – May 2008 Description Leicestershire Constabulary are piloting the use of Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) by officers responding to incidents. During a two-week period, response vehicles will be equipped with the MDTs, allowing officers real-time access to Crime and Intelligence systems and giving them the ability to input crime and incident reports directly onto the systems. It is anticipated that this will deliver considerable savings in terms of use of officer time as well as performance improvements in key areas such as crime resolution, public visibility, data quality and public perception. The aim of the pilot evaluation is to ensure that lessons
learned from the pilot will enable Leicestershire Constabulary and its
stakeholders to derive maximum benefit from the wider implementation of
MDTs in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of business processes and
use of officer time. In order to achieve this aim, specific project objectives
are to identify and quantify benefits and concerns arising from the use
of MDTs relating to areas such as: The evaluation will adopt a multi-method approach including semi-structured focus groups, questionnaires, task analysis and work shadowing. Contact Tel: +44 (0) 1509 228058
