The Police Department uses wireless data communication to provide mobile access in patrol vehicles and other computerized law enforcement-related systems; the Library uses wireless data communication to connect its bookmobile to the Library's management software; and the Planning and Building Agency is in the early stages of using wireless data communication to support field operations.
