Transit Police Go Wireless for Next Wave of Safety
Overview The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train system connects San Francisco to surrounding Bay Area communities with 39 stations and nearly 100 miles of track. BART police wanted to use the newest wireless technology to fulfill its mission of ensuring the safety and security of the transit district's patrons, employees, and their property, as well as preventing criminal activity through highly visible presence at BART stations. Wide Area Management Services, Inc. (WAMS), a Cisco partner with silver certification, partnered with BART police and its IT department to design and deploy a system that would provide field officers with secure remote IP wireless video access to a legacy video surveillance system. With the new wireless system in place, BART Police Commander Wade Gomes says his department is ahead of the next curve of policing: enabling officers to view live video of a location as they are responding to a police call. For WAMS, the project is a prototype for future wireless IP video applications.
