ROK mobile security software provides real-time, simple and secure technologies to assist law enforcement agencies in the gathering and management of information in a variety of formats using cutting edge technology including encrypted data based communications for use, in particular, with regards to counter-terrorism operations, criminal investigations including anti-narcotics operations, physical security, and field communications.
