The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is composed of the metropolitan area of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee. Together they cover five hundred sixty square miles with over seven hundred law enforcement vehicles. The need for instant access to time critical information is a necessity for all police departments, and Richy Vaughn, MNPD information manager, recognized the need to arm his police force with the essential tools to protect the continuously growing metropolitan area. Vaughn’s vision would provide tools to enable officers with real-time inquiries on suspect information, view photos, communicate instantly and submit reports quickly and easily.
