When it comes to our officers, all of their equipment needs to work all the time. We have that confidence with Panasonic TOUGHBOOK products, more so than a lot of our neighbors do with competitor products.
Lt. Haimbaugh
Mishawaka PD, IN
The engineering services and support that Panasonic (TOUGHBOOK) provided went above and beyond our expectations and their help in getting us up-and-running was invaluable.
Major Ken McRae
Roswell PD, GA
In and out of the car it gets introduced to a lot of different things and I have never seen one (TOUGHBOOK) fail.
Deputy Sheriff David Cochran
Alameda County SO, CA
Once our officers began using the TOUGHBOOKs during their day-to-day operations, they quickly realized the laptops’ power, convenience and reliability.
Sergeant Mike Wilson
Director IT, St. Louis County PD, MO
People would be crazy to buy a non-ruggedized product for this job. The term military spec is thrown around a lot in the industry and it is important for agencies to understand what that means, how that testing really works, and ask how the product you're considering has been tested.
Lieutenant Colonel Walther
Wyoming Highway Patrol
We watched the labor costs go down significantly. They (TOUGHBOOK) just don't have the problems we experienced with the consumer devices. They're made for this environment. They aren't made for an office, then adapted for police or fire. To this day, I've had zero hardware failures.
