As an alternative to standard personal notebooks, the Village of Oakwood Hills, Ill., chose Rugged Notebooks' Eagle rugged laptop that wasn't as costly as other fully ruggedized laptops for law enforcement or military use.
"In law enforcement, ruggedized laptops need to be the perfect blend of durability and meeting the budgetary constraints that this economy has put every village under," according to Commander Peter Goldman for the Village of Oakwood Hills police department.
Rugged Notebooks' Eagle provides ease-of-use and ruggedness, according to the company. And because of the cost efficiency of this laptop, Oakwood Hills PD was able to outfit four vehicles instead of two.

Jan. 4, 2011 -- Rugged Notebooks, a leading provider of ruggedized portable computers and handheld devices for over 10 years, today announced its MedTab ruggedized tablet PC for healthcare professionals, including hospital and clinical staff as well as emergency medical services (EMS) personnel.
Starting at $2,549, the MedTab’s fully ruggedized features include drop/shock/spill protection tested to meet U.S. military 810F and 810G standards. The tablet PC features four large rubber “bumpers” fastened to the corners of the unit to protect the LCD screen. It also has an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, providing protection from other liquids common in medical environments such as blood, sterile alcohol, bleach, iodine and more.
The MedTab is further protected by a ventless, full magnesium alloy case, sealed ports and connectors, and shockmounted removable hard disk drive. The LCD screen is dual touch, meaning the computer can be operated by either the touch of a finger or stylus pen. The pen feature can be used to capture a legal signature from a patient.
The unit comes with a transflective screen that enables users to easily view the display in bright sunlight. This durable tablet includes easy mounting capability for emergency vehicles.
“A reliable, working computer can be as important to saving lives as medical equipment and medicine during a health emergency,” said Alan Shad, president of Rugged Notebooks. “The MedTab is available with all these important features and our premier customer support at a...

NEW NCIC REQUIREMENTS MEAN MORE EQUIPMENT INVESTMENTS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
Under the most-recently published FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security guidelines, all systems accessing National Crime Information Center (NCIC) data must comply with new advanced user authentication requirements. These guidelines apply to access from both secure and remote locations, including office-based computers and in-vehicle laptops. FBI-approved advanced authentication methods include username and password; fingerprints or iris scans, which are grouped under biometric authentication; and a smart card or token that must be inserted into the USB port.
Section 8.3.2 of the CJIS Security Policy states that the CJIS system's data is sensitive information and security shall be afforded to prevent any unauthorized access, use or dissemination of the information. Improper access, use and dissemination of Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) and hot file information may result in the imposition of administrative sanctions including, but not limited to, termination of services and state and federal criminal penalties.
"With the FBI issuing new compliance guidelines for NCIC access, many smaller police departments and law enforcement agencies are under tremendous pressure to find a solution that fits their budgets," said Alan Shad, president of Rugged Notebooks...
