The Baltimore County, Maryland government has awarded Brekford International (formerly Tactical Solution Partners, Inc.), an innovative homeland security technology and services firm, a new ten-year contract to provide technology products and services to its law enforcement agencies.
According to the terms of the contract, Brekford will provide Baltimore County with the Panasonic Toughbook® ruggedized mobile computer systems customized for public safety use, as well as related ergonomic mounting solutions, mobile technology products and peripherals.
Ideal for mobile use, the powerful, durable, full-featured Toughbook has a DVD Multi drive, plus 13.3″ daylight-readable touch-screen LCD and integrated options, including wireless solutions which assure high performance on the road. The Toughbook is sold through the company’s PelicanMobile line and the systems offer powerful, user friendly “office-in-the-car” mobile solutions that provide public safety workers with the unique functionalities necessary to enable effective response to emergency situations.
These systems enable law enforcement officers, security personnel and first responders to obtain and exchange information in real-time, which is an added benefit to the county as recent national emergencies have shown that rapid dissemination of real-time information is critical to determining and assuring timely and precise resource allocation by public sector decision makers.
In response to the contract, William A. Shafley, chief executive officer of Brekford International, stated, “This extensive award is a significant win for Brekford. In addition to the multi-year revenue stream to supply Baltimore County’s ongoing technology needs, we also anticipate revenue growth as a result of a contract provision that enables other agencies throughout the entire state to make purchases directly from the contract.”
Along with the Baltimore County government, Brekford’s client list numbers in excess of 100 and includes many branches of the U.S. military, the National Security Agency and critical government security and public safety agencies in the state of Maryland.
