The Belleville Police Service is pleased to announce that the Belleville Police Service Director of Information Technology Joe Myderwyk is the recipient of the Ontario Association of the Chiefs of Police Award of Excellence for Information Technology Services.
This award is presented in recognition of the accomplishments of police agencies who have used/ leveraged technology in the development and introduction of a significant change that proved to be “a game-changer” for the organization and the policing community.
Joe Myderwyk graciously accepted the award on behalf of the Belleville Police Service Information Technology Team, which includes members Matt Sinclair and Adam Crowe.
The Belleville Police Service Information Technology Team has been a pioneer in developing and implementing the Mobile Connected Officer Program for the Belleville Police Service.
This technology initiative has garnered attention from the Los Angeles Police Department, Chicago Police, Toronto Police Service, Calgary Police Service, Ottawa Police Service, and some small- and mid-size police services.
The success of this initiative has the potential to revolutionize the way that police services utilize cell phone technology in police vehicles, become a new policing standard, and play a significant role in the effective and efficient delivery of service on patrol.
