”Man kan ikke sammenligne vores gamle system med RFID-systemet.

Dette betyder at vi ved, at det sæt udstyr vi sender ud fungerer optimalt. Endvidere, ved at forbedre styringen af vedligeholdelse, øges sundhed og sikkerhed, da udstyr som ikke er anvendeligt ikke udleveres til brug, derved undgås risiko for uheld for både politi og offentligheden.”
