- 39. 39 FEEDBACK FROM OUR USERS? “On a quick note, the I-pad mini’s are excellent. As an example, because of Q-Lite we were able to identify an offender wanted for almost 3 years on two warrants (6 offences), who had managed to create a new identity through Queensland Transport. He was only found due to the associate function on a passenger in the vehicle with him and the ease of accessing QPRIME photos. In the 3 years he was wanted, he had come into Police contact several times under his new identity and remained undetected.” “Only last week out here at Longreach we were conducting patrols of the Highway between Longreach and Ilfracombe. This is an area that has many radio black-spots. At about 11:30pm we intercepted a vehicle containing three occupants. Two of which provided false names and we were able to verify this using the (mobile device) to check on scene. As a result of this intercept, all three persons were arrested and identified as either wanted for questioning, wanted on bail act warrants or wanted on return to prison warrant. About seven fresh charges were also laid. It also should be noted that the person wanted on the return to prison warrant had been actively evading or running from Police for some five months. ” “Friday and Saturday night shift completed and what a difference the iPad made! Often on these nights it's difficult to even get on the radio, and even when you do you are often 6th in queue looking at a substantial wait. In the past you may have to give up on checking only to return to station later to find they were wanted. The ability to conduct my own checks immediately allowed me to be far more productive not to mention the fact that it appears far more professional than making Joe Citizen wait 10 minutes just to check his licence. The only problem is that I am now the team inquiries office as everyone has worked out that it's far quicker to do checks with me than through inquiries.” “I am a full time motorcycle rider. The device is fantastic and is a great step forward for the QPS. Being on the bike I am often working one up. We all know the dramas with overloading of the enquiry radio channel. It is not good to be standing on the side of the road with a high risk suspect and be told you are fifth in the queue. Many times I have released persons prior to doing the necessary checks because of the delays on the enquiry channel. With Qlite that information is readily available in seconds.”
