Bedfordshire Police, seen here, has 1,014 officers currently using BlackBerrys, with plans to roll out a further 136 in the near future.

The BlackBerrys can be used to access critical systems and applications while on the beat, including remote access to the Police National Computer, crime management system, intelligence database, warrants, Police National Legal Database and its custom-built briefings application.
