Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S5 will be part of the standard equipment of the Dutch police, according to the Dutch press. More than 10 000 employees of the National Police of the Netherlands have already received the Galaxy S5 with special software that will allow them to gain access to police databases to check the personal data of citizens, as well as prescribing penalties.
The software should facilitate checking of citizens documents . Police will be able in just a few taps on the screen smartphone determine whether the documents are authentic or not. Dutch police spokesman said that police only need to enter the name and date of birth of the person in the application, and it will display information about him and his photograph in a matter of seconds, thus saving a lot of time, and it reduces the chance of errors.
In addition, in 2016 the police of the Netherlands will accept applications from citizens via smartphones.
Due to the fact that the application receives information from the general police database, the probability of error is reduced to a minimum, especially when prescribing fines. Also, the police will be able to prescribe penalties by simply scanning the person's license, and the reasons for introducing the fine and its amount.
While the system is still in testing, but it is planned that in the next year working smart phones with special software will have 33,000 police officers.
