Police expert calls for open-source data tools
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently police forces use a patchwork of proprietary and open source
| systems. The Holmes 2 (Home Office Large Major Enquiry System) police
| database, which is run on behalf of the police by Unisys, is optimised to run
| on both Linux and propietary systems. The police communicate using a mixture
| of propietary systems from companies including Airwave, Blackberry and
| Orange.
