Founded in 1835, the Chicago Police Department is the second-largest police force in the United States. Since 2018, it has integrated Samsung technology to modernize operations and improve officer effectiveness.

CHALLENGE

Keeping officers on the street—connected and equipped

The Chicago Police Department aimed to keep officers more engaged with their communities and reduce time spent on paperwork. To achieve this, they needed powerful, always-connected devices that provided access to critical data, permits, and documents at any time. Officers required mobile capabilities to work seamlessly from their vehicles, on the streets, or at the office.

Additionally, centralized device management was essential to ensure data security, regulatory compliance, and consistent device performance across the force.

SOLUTION

Transforming police work

In 2018, the department transitioned from using 3,000 outdated vehicle-mounted laptops to deploying over 10,000 Samsung Galaxy devices across the city.

Managed through Knox Suite and paired with Samsung DeX, these devices have streamlined workflows by consolidating everything onto a single device.

Knox Configure ensures each device is preloaded with the necessary apps and documentation, providing a seamless experience for every officer.
