Case Study: Martinez Police Department improves electronic crime investigations with Fluke Networks AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester

Fluke Networks’ AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester Aids Electronic Crime Investigation for Martinez Police Department

The Martinez Police Department, a medium-sized law enforcement agency, faced the challenge of investigating sophisticated electronic crimes with limited resources. Officers needed a rugged, simple-to-use, and cost-effective tool to quickly identify wireless networks and devices in the field, as traditional methods were often inadequate. They turned to Fluke Networks and its AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester to address this need.

Fluke Networks' solution provided the department with a handheld, reliable device for ascertaining the presence of open Wi-Fi networks and locating hidden equipment. The results were significant; the AirCheck tester became an indispensable tool used in multiple investigations each month, improving the discretion and effectiveness of serving warrants. The Martinez PD reported that the product was easy for non-technical officers to use, had a long battery life, and quickly paid for itself in time savings and reliability.
