Most law enforcement officers already carry a department-issued mobile phone, and with the right enterprise security, these devices can provide significant operational benefits to individual officers, as well as their agencies. Smartphones now include a rich set of features, with numerous sensors to support logistics, coordination, and real-time access to sensitive information, as well as to enable data collection.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is conducting applied research and development (R&D) on continuous authentication to strengthen security. Through the R&D of continuous authentication, law enforcement officers soon will have new technology to ensure greater mission security and provide reliable access without hindering the overall mobile experience.
