TBL Public Safety Suite app is part of a software suite that enhances the ability of first responders to collect and consume data and to share that data with other department stakeholders (e.g. prosecutors), as well as other jurisdictions. For example, the TBL app enables the creation of crash reports and eCitations, it allows the user to search License Plate Reader (LPR) databases, and it provides Dispatch (CAD) services on the iPhone, iPad, and CarPlay platforms.
