I wish.

The Toughbook in my car can access secured police databases maintained by the Philadelphia Police, PSP, and FBI (PCIC/CLEAN/NCIC). That's it. No internet, no access to any other software, not even the ability to reset the time.

Now, I'm sure other agencies aren't so paranoid and let their officers have access to other productivity software and even the 'net. The Crimes Code is available on CD, so that could be loaded and available.

For personal references, I carry a current copy of the LexisNexis PA Crimes Code and Vehicle Law Handbook. This book covers much more than just titles 18 and 75. It's a great reference. I also have the DA's Charging Unit on speed dial.

In headquarters, we have current copies of the Arrest Law Bulletin, Search and Seizure Bulletin, and Investigative Bulletin posted where any officer can pick them up.
