The Chicago Police Department introduced 10,000 units of the Galaxy S series to frontline officers. Previously, the police adopted the Galaxy Z Flip series as body cameras, while the fire department used the Galaxy Tab as a work tablet.
According to Samsung Electronics, the Chicago Police Department adopted the Galaxy series to establish a smartphone-based work environment. In particular, by utilizing Samsung DeX technology, officers can write reports in their vehicles like a PC. To enhance security, Samsung Knox Suite was also applied to protect internal data and improve work efficiency. Samsung noted that this has reduced police phone work time by 75% compared to three years ago.
The Chicago Fire Department is also enhancing work efficiency by adopting the Galaxy Tab and Samsung DeX. U.S. police began piloting the Galaxy Z Flip as body cameras in Kimberling City, Missouri, and continued to expand this to Texas and Arkansas. The high-resolution cameras, portability, and GPS-based real-time location tracking features are regarded as strengths.
Samsung Electronics stated, "We will continue to develop solutions to improve the work environment of U.S. public institutions based on the cases of the Chicago police and fire departments."
