Interesting pickup from the Sunday Mirror, a paper in the UK. They’re saying, albeit very briefly, that “a police force” (ambiguity theirs) plans to distribute BlackBerrys to their officers. The idea is to slash office time, which we think is wonderful. The devices will be linked to the Police National Computer and other important databases. This is said to cut office time from 50 percent to 20 percent, something we’d welcome in the U.S. After all, we’ve seen trends, especially in New York City, where more police officers patrolling an area led to a lesser rate of crime. If giving them BlackBerrys is part of that kind of solution, we’re all for it.
