Riviera Beach Police have named the SnapComms screensaver tool “Intel TV”. They use it in three ways: public, internal and mobile. Harrison explains: “The screensaver channel can be seen in officers’ patrol cars (via laptops), on all PCs used by desk-based staff, and public spaces with digital signage, such as the waiting area in the police lobby.”
Example content includes:
- Photos of suspects and details of the charge
- Missing children photos and descriptions
- Notices about changes to the law
- Pictures of new illegal street drugs
- Education on the latest street lingo and issues
- Regular pictures of open cases – suspects or criminals
- The Agency’s mission statement: “Service is Job One”
- Intelligence reports
- High crime activity maps
- Safety and process reminders
The use of screensavers in the police department’s public lobby area presents an opportunity to relay important community information. These messages are rotated and updated regularly and are broadcast onto large screens.
“This helps the community help themselves and help us,” explains Harrison. He states this visual messaging format dramatically enhances communications both internally and to patrolling officers.
New intelligence or criminal information can be presented within moments; pre-populated content can be recycled and republished.
Important crime-busting information can be communicated on an otherwise dormant screen, and information is constantly present, unlike email which can be “filtered” and overlooked.
