Scott White’s Summary

My position includes all phases from project planning to implementation.

I coordinate the application of digital wireless technologies to the law enforcement environment, using commonly available products and services from national vendors, unique and customized software packages. I facilitate the connectivity between wireless digital networks and the municipal network.

Additionally, I maintain unique installations of SQL Servers in a Windows Server environment as well as specialized query servers used to transfer the data from the mobile environment to the main Records Management System for the police department. This same network of servers allows officers in the field to access our main records management system in a real time environment.

I designed and implemented a nationally acclaimed police messaging system. This system allows police officers to converse and discuss information across all shifts and in different units in support of our community policing initiative.

I designed and instituted a marketing strategy that increased positive exposure of the Portsmouth Police Department and the City of Portsmouth to the region and nationally. This included graphics design, layout and publishing in local newspapers and tabloids.

I am responsible for the videography, photography and subsequent compilation of that media into various presentation mediums including MS Power Point, DVD, and Flash. The resultant video presentations are used in department and city training films and as "proofs of compliance" for law enforcement accreditation.

I have written and presented a course of instruction dealing with the emotional trauma which many law enforcement professionals are subjected to due to the nature of the job. This course of instruction better prepares the law enforcement professional for the mental and physical changes he or she may experience during the course of their career.
