  LOS ANGELES, CA, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Mobile BIS, one of the nation's leading innovators of mobile technology
services, has announced the expansion of their law enforcement related
software that dramatically enhances police officer and community safety,
including instant background checks and sex offender tracking
capabilities.

    Called "CrimeTracker," the mobile applications for the new software were
first released in 2009, and have now been further broadened to provide
patrolling police officers with instant access to an individual's
criminal history, gang affiliation, and a color-coded warning rating, and
more, all from the officer's patrol car. The phones also display photos
of the suspect for identification verification as well as allow the
officers to instantly download photos, videos and voice into an
investigation file.

    "The program is now fully operational on Droid and all Blackberry phone
systems as well as laptops or notebooks," Mobile BIS president Michael
Macho explained. In fact, the APIs and Connectors now allow the program
to be installed and function efficiently on virtually any platform. 

    The sex offender application provides for police to identify the exact
location of registered sex offenders, with a unique utilization of Google
Maps and Mobile BIS's innovative real-time tracking system. 

    "Police officers on street patrol are able to approach an individual or a
motor vehicle with instant information and a warning cue as to the danger
of the situation," Macho explained. "It's a tremendous boon to the
officer's safety and ensures that back-up requests are initiated before a
dangerous situation develops," Macho added.

    There are four "indexes" that the system instantly cross-checks on an
investigation: name, location, vehicle and property. CrimeTracker can
instantly drill down on all of these and call-up references that might be
relevant to the case or suspect.

    Additionally, Jail Watch and the Corrections Management System also offer
a program tailored for correctional institutions which automatically
generates a danger profile of an inmate to help assess their appropriate
housing assignment.

    The law enforcement and public safety applications are already in place
in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and New
York. A number of other states are actively exploring the use of the
application as well.
