are available as a supplement to the Companion products offered by USA Radio1. The primary purpose of these products is to provide an enhanced level of safety for judges and juvenile probation officers when they are outside their courtrooms or offices. These devices can be used to summon assistance and/or report location whenever and wherever required subject to GPS and communications coverage. There are two main devices currently available - the SLX personal communicator shown at the above left, and the Personal GPS locator shown to the right of the SLX.
About the SLX Personal Communicator
The
SLX Personal Communicator is a compact (about the size of a fat pack of
cigarettes) that weights a mere ten ounces. It is a military grade,
high performance 2-way radio that is compatible with the radio
communications systems (VHF or UHF) used by the majority of law
enforcement agencies throughout Alabama and the nation.
With the permission of a participating law enforcement agency (Sheriff, or municipal police department as applicable), the SLX provides the user (Judge or Juvenile Probation Officer) with the ability to communicate directly with the agency in times of emergency. Pricing is not available over the Internet. For current pricing, call 1.800.489.2611.
Emergency Communications
The SLX Personal Communicator replaces the earlier DTR model that was supplied during the 2004/2005 fiscal year for Alabama Administrative Office of Courts (AOC) funding. The early version used a proprietary frequency and transmission system that was ideal for communicating within the Courthouse. Regrettably, the DTR model was not suitable for use beyond a quarter mile of the Courthouse and it was incompatible with VHF and UHF radio communications systems traditionally used by law enforcement. The new SLX Personal Communicator has longer range and full compatibility with law enforcement VHF or UHF radio communications systems.
Unlike ordinary 2-way radios, the SLX has a unique listen in feature that allows another SLX radio to remotely activate the selected SLX transmitter. Alternately, the SLX has an emergency call button that will automatically key and hold the transmitter on for three 15 second intervals. This allows another SLX user to listen in when the primary user cannot use the radio in a conventional manner. Every SLX radio can be programmed to transmit a unique identification code as well as transmitting a menu of canned text messages. Not only is the SLX well suited for emergency use, it can also operate on a separate administration channel for routine inter-office use, kind of like a wireless intercom!
About the Trakit Vehicle location system
The
SLX radio provides a means of communicating directly with law enforcement
in the event of an emergency. However, there may be a situation
where it is not possible to report the location of the person in distress.
The Trakit Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system allows the user, while
in their vehicle to instantly send their location at the push of a button
to any PC or cell phone set up in the system. If a user has not
checked in at an appointed time, the law enforcement dispatcher or other
designated party can place a locate query over the Internet to
determine the vehicle location. The price with three years of
service is just $1,965.
Emergency Location Reporting
The Trakit unit automatically updates the vehicle location whenever the users vehicle is parked for 15 minutes or more, and again when the vehicle begins movement. The location can be viewed over the Internet by simply addressing a web address from any web connected PC, then entering a login and password. . The price of less than a lunch per day is a small price to pay for personal safety!
Other available products
We have listed a few of the more popular products used in association with the Companion system. We also offer wireless key lock systems, wireless camera systems, walk through metal detectors, and personal (wand) metal detectors. One of the more interesting new products, known as the Spy-Stik, is a fiber optic inspection device that allows the user to look into semi-concealed areas. This device is particularly popular with law enforcement officers and school administrators. If you have a need in security, personal protection, or wireless communications, there is only one name you need to know - OURS!
