Has your control room also mentioned that the radios have GPS built
in, so
they can see EXACTLY where each patrol is on a map on the PC? That's
why
pushing the emergency button shows them which patrol is calling and
where
they are! So each PC is being watched.

Indeed, the new Nokia GPS-enabled terminals
(http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,62313,00.html) are slowly replacing our
'old' 880's but they have yet to fix in the system that will show us on
the map. Assuming the emergency button works, it will merely display
the co-ordinates on the screen and the controller will then need to
transpose those details onto the mapping system to bring up a
location... yet more room for errors to creep in. But as I say, that's
assuming the button works at all.
