Public safety demands more from technology than ever before. From in-vehicle connectivity to surveillance and officer communications, your department’s ability to respond effectively often comes down to the tools at your disposal.

But here’s the hard truth: many agencies are relying on systems that were considered “good enough” years ago—and haven’t been revisited since.

Is Your Police Equipment Quietly Failing You?

We work with departments nationwide, and one theme keeps coming up: outdated police tech isn’t just inefficient—it’s dangerous. Ask yourself:

• Are officers experiencing dropped signals or blacked-out coverage zones?  
• Are you still using 4G routers when 5G is now purpose-built for public safety?  
• Are body-worn cameras, LPRs, or mobile data terminals (MDTs) lagging, incompatible, or just plain unreliable?  
• Do you have zero redundancy if your primary network goes down?  

These are the signs you need new equipment! So if the answer to any of these is “yes,” your department may be overdue for a serious tech reevaluation.

You Can’t Afford to Wait for a Crisis

Many departments wait for something to break before they make law enforcement technology upgrades—but by then, the damage is done. Outdated in-vehicle routers and CAD systems can delay response times. Cameras that lose connection under load can cost you critical evidence. Lack of network redundancy can paralyze communications in an emergency.

We’ve seen it all: officers stranded in coverage gaps, dispatchers frozen during major events, and mobile systems rendered useless in a disaster. That’s why modernization is no longer optional—it’s foundational.

The Power of the Right Police Tech—Working Together

Modern solutions aren’t just upgrades—they’re force multipliers.

Let’s take T-Mobile’s T-PRIORITY™, for example. It’s the only 5G network slice purpose-built for law enforcement. It doesn’t just prioritize your traffic—it can dynamically scale across T-Mobile’s entire network during a crisis. While regular users might lose service during a crisis, T-PRIORITY™ gives your officers first-in-line access. That means your officers stay connected even when commercial networks are overwhelmed.

And if you need coverage in places where traditional signals struggle—like a downtown area, public park, or stadium—T-Mobile’s self-healing mesh networks fill in the gaps. These networks are perfect for large events, emergencies, or any spot where you don’t have strong infrastructure. They automatically reroute signals to keep officers connected at all times.

Modern police technology isn't just about having the latest gadgets—it’s about making your department safer, faster, and more connected.

Smarter Surveillance and Real-Time Awareness

It’s not just about faster routers or stronger Wi-Fi. It's about smarter tools across your ecosystem:

• Today’s license plate readers (LPRs) do more than scan plates—they analyze movement, detect stolen vehicles, trigger BOLO alerts, and even integrate with multi-agency networks.
• Security cameras now offer real-time monitoring with AI-assisted alerts, facial recognition, and cloud-based video storage—giving you instant access to footage without manual handoffs or storage headaches.
• MDTs from trusted providers like Getac are more rugged and responsive than ever—built for patrol, investigations, and command staff.

Budget Concerns? You’re Not Alone

One of the biggest questions we get from departments with outdated police tech: “How can we afford this?” The truth is, you probably can.

At Premier Wireless, we specialize in helping departments modernize without blowing their budgets. We offer flexible financing, help you explore grant opportunities, and in many cases, we help departments reduce costs by consolidating outdated systems and moving to more efficient tech stacks.

The right solution can save time, reduce maintenance, and even lower total spend over time.

Is It Time to Make Technology Upgrades?

The moment your police equipment starts slowing you down, putting your team at risk, or limiting what you can do—it’s time. And if you’re already frustrated, you're likely past that point.

Technology should help you serve better, move faster, and stay safer. If that’s not happening today, we’re here to help you fix it.

Premier Wireless combines 30+ years of public safety expertise with end-to-end support—from device procurement to deployment, training, and long-term service. We offer a complete solution: custom-built technology strategies backed by world-class support.
