“When You’re in the Field, Your Technology Can’t Be the Weak Link.”
Mike Ketchum on Getac’s Rugged Computing Solutions for Public Safety
“Public safety professionals don’t have the luxury of waiting for technology to catch up. Their equipment has to perform every time, in every environment. That’s exactly what Getac is built for.” — Mike Ketchum, Regional Sales Manager
Technology has become one of the most important tools an officer, firefighter, or first responder carries. But not every mission requires the same device.
Some teams need the productivity of a full-size laptop in the vehicle. Others require the flexibility of a rugged tablet that can move seamlessly between the patrol car and the field. That’s why Getac has built one of the most comprehensive portfolios of rugged computing solutions available today.
In this video, Mike Ketchum walks through the latest Getac lineup and explains how each device is designed to support different public safety workflows without compromising durability or performance.
Rugged Computing Built Around the Mission
No two agencies operate exactly alike. That’s why Getac offers multiple form factors that allow departments to choose the right technology for their specific operational needs.
Whether it’s:
- Full-size rugged laptops for maximum productivity
- Convertible devices that transition from laptop to tablet in seconds
- Lightweight tablets for field mobility
- Vehicle-mounted solutions
- Detachable keyboards for added flexibility
Every device is engineered to withstand the demanding environments first responders face every day.
A Device for Every Workflow
During the demonstration, Mike highlights several of Getac’s newest rugged devices, including:
- S510 – A 15.6-inch rugged laptop that delivers a true desktop experience while on the road.
- D120 – A fully rugged 12.2-inch convertible that quickly switches between tablet and laptop mode without changing docks or mounts.
- A140 – A powerful 14-inch rugged tablet with an optional mounted keyboard for maximum vehicle flexibility.

- B360 – A lightweight 13.3-inch fully rugged laptop built for mobility without sacrificing capability.
Each solution is designed to keep personnel productive whether they’re working from a patrol vehicle, responding in the field, or managing critical information on the move.
More Than Rugged Devices
Modern public safety technology extends beyond computers.
Mike also highlights Getac’s 4th Generation 4K Body-Worn Camera and integrated in-car video platform, giving agencies a connected ecosystem for capturing, managing, and protecting critical evidence.
When combined with rugged computing devices, these technologies help create a complete mobile workspace that improves situational awareness, enhances documentation, and supports officer safety.
