TICKFAW, La. -- Officers at the Tickfaw Police Department are breathing sighs of relief now that they have the capability of knowing how dangerous a suspect is before they exit their patrol cars.

With the quick entry of a driver's license number, officers learn exactly who they're dealing with instead of walking into dangerous situations blindly, Roach explained. It allows officers in the field to access instantly and simultaneously local, state and national databases from inside their patrol car.
