The restaurant industry has never been on the cutting edge of technology, mostly because restaurant owners and managers are some of the busiest people on the planet, and technology tends to take a back seat to the daily demands of food service. But technology is finally taking a seat at the booth, and that means a growing need for secure device storage.

Keeping weapons secure, yet ready for rapid deployment is a critical challenge for law enforcement divisions everywhere.

Whether needed for a military post, a law enforcement agency, or a private citizen who is an avid gun collector, a weapon storage system needs to meet all three criteria; in the case of the first two types of customer, that system also needs to be practically engineered for ease of access should the need for rapid deployment ever arise.

In a sense, mobile devices were at the forefront of the “sharing” economy. For years, businesses, libraries, schools and other organizations have been sharing expensive technology to stretch their budgets and give users better experiences. Sharing technology can provide great benefits.

Tight budgets mean tight quarters for many law enforcement departments, and many are feeling the squeeze in their evidence and records storage areas. Unfortunately, crime doesn’t slow down just because department budgets are being cut back. If anything, the opposite occurs.
