Connecticut Police Department Deploys Citrix Software for Secure, On-demand Access to Law Enforcement Applications.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Systems Integrator TigerNet Systems Uses Citrix Access Platform to Increase Police Officer's Time in the Streets by 40 Percent

Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure solutions, today announced that the police department for Weston, Conn., has implemented Citrix Presentation Server(TM) to give officers secure, on-demand access to law enforcement applications from anywhere. The Weston Police project was led by TigerNet Systems, a systems integration firm and Gold-level Citrix reseller headquartered in Stamford, Conn. The Citrix access platform was installed to allow secure access to the police department's technology systems and specific applications such as the File Maker Pro records management system and the state of Connecticut's COLLECT - Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) database, which contains state and national motor vehicle records and criminal history records - from the department's patrol cars via wireless internet connections. With Citrix, the Weston Police department allows police officers to spend more of their time out in the community instead of being bound to their desks at headquarters. This foundation increases the productivity of its officers by delivering continuous, reliable access to their records management databases and Computer Aided Dispatch systems regardless of officer locations being inside the station, in the field, or in a patrol car.

Before implementing Citrix, the police department relied on antiquated radio systems to dispatch information among squad cars, leading to considerable lag-time in receiving or sharing information. Also, officers had to go back to the office after their daily shift to file reports. Moreover, there was no easy way to integrate the department's database with the state systems, making it difficult and time-intensive to do background searches on criminals and find or share information on stolen property. As a result of these inefficiencies, the officers were spending as much as half their time at headquarters filling out paperwork instead of serving the community.

Today using Citrix, applications are centrally deployed and managed on Citrix Presentation Server, and each patrol car has a tablet PC that can access applications, including municipal, state, and federal criminal records, over a wireless network in real-time. Now time lags and dropped calls that plagued communications no longer exist. The officers log in once and have uninterrupted access to all their applications while they change devices and network connections, even when they drive through wireless dead zones in their police cruisers.

"By using Citrix, we're no longer hand-cuffed to proprietary, desktop-based systems that are constantly interrupted, requiring us to re-sign on, reload, or reconfigure our devices," said Patrick Daubert, sergeant for the police department in Weston, Conn. "Our police officers are now working smarter. We estimate that with this technology in place, our officers are spending 40 percent more time in the field with the citizens of Weston and less time at headquarters filling out reports."

The foundation of the Citrix Access Suite(TM), Citrix Presentation Server is the world's most widely deployed presentation server for centrally managing heterogeneous applications and delivering access to them as a service to workers, wherever they are, and to whatever computing device they use and what ever type of connection they have. Citrix Presentation Server runs on Microsoft(R) Windows Server(TM) 2003, Windows(R) 2000 Server, and a variety of UNIX(R) operating systems, supporting virtually any custom or commercially-packaged Windows, Web, or UNIX application. Citrix Presentation Server provides an exceptional foundation on which to build highly-scalable, flexible, secure, manageable access solutions that reduce computing costs and increase the utility of any information system.
