• Courts and Corrections

    Optimize resources, enhance security and speed the judicial process through the utilization of Polycom's interactive voice, video and data collaboration capabilities.

    People movement and meeting requirements in the judicial process cost time and money and pose security and information management challenges. In addition, overcrowded justice systems, jails and holding cells create dangerous, costly logistical problems. The transportation required for prisoners also prevents law enforcement from being on the streets protecting its citizens.

    With Polycom's voice, video and data collaboration solutions, agencies can increase their operational efficiency by processing more cases and alleviate security and logistical problems for courts, law enforcement and corrections by decreasing transportation requirements.
