Visteon Provides Latest in Law Enforcement Technology to Oakland
County Sheriff Bouchard VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., Oct. 29
/PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NYSE:VC) will provide the
latest in law enforcement technology to Sheriff Michael Bouchard
and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office today, marking the first
sheriff's agency to own a TACNET(R) equipped vehicle. (Logo:

pleased to work with Sheriff Bouchard and his deputies, applying
advanced technology to dramatically improve officer and public
safety in Oakland County," said Greg Gyllstrom, Visteon's vice
president and general manager aftermarket and glass North American
operations. "We have applied our expertise to help improve
emergency response capabilities for the good of law enforcement
officers and citizens." TACNET is an in-vehicle command and control
system designed to improve public safety, officer safety, officer
efficiency and interoperability while dramatically reducing police
car interior clutter. The voice technology allows hands-free access
to information while the touch screen and hand control pod
accommodate on-the-job demands of a police officer. Visteon has
carefully considered the needs of an officer, including the need
for gloved hands in designing interface touch zones. Requests for
mission critical functions to have redundant controls were also
incorporated as well as ease of operation in extreme environments
or during black out situations. The ability to replace the current
array of switches, microphones, buttons and brackets with an
easy-to-use command system is the result of Visteon technology and
the cooperation of its TACNET Alliance companies. Alliance
partnerships with key law enforcement technology suppliers allow
Visteon to supply an integrated system that works with the
equipment a police agency is already using. These partnerships also
ensure TACNET's compatibility with the in-vehicle law enforcement
equipment of the future. In addition to working with leading law
enforcement suppliers, Visteon will be collaborating with Oakland
County Sheriff's Office to meet their specific needs. This
collaboration is in addition to previous collaboration with several
other police agencies including California Highway Patrol, Michigan
State Police, Maryland State Police and Boston Police Department,
and the Ontario Provincial Police -- all of which provided valuable
officer field- test feedback. Visteon Corporation is a leading
full-service supplier that delivers consumer-driven technology
solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and through
multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket. Visteon
has about 72,000 employees and a global delivery system of more
than 200 technical, manufacturing, sales, and service facilities
located in 25 countries.
