Built for the Extreme. Trusted by the Toughest.
Our customers work in the real world — rugged, chaotic, and high-stakes. TOUGHBOOK has been built for them since day one.I was part of one of the very first large TOUGHBOOK deployments in Canada, and the impact was immediate. After struggling with off the shelf laptops, TOUGHBOOK delivered the rugged reliability we needed in real policing conditions. It reduced maintenance, kept officers working in the field, and allowed information to move from the street to the courts within minutes. That early success is why TOUGHBOOK has been trusted in policing for 30 years.Jeff Craigmile
Former Director of IT, London Police Service
I never worry about our TOUGHBOOKs working, whether it is minus 30 or plus 30. As policing becomes more data and video driven, TOUGHBOOK continues to evolve, delivering the performance, connectivity, and reliability our officers depend on today and into the future.Tony Ventura
Senior Director of Innovation and Technology, Peel Regional Police
The relationship between TOUGHBOOK and Havis works because it gives frontline teams real flexibility. With adjustable mounts and customizable setups, officers, EMS, and fire crews can configure their technology to fit their space and their needs. As more departments move to fully integrated TOUGHBOOK solutions, that level of compatibility and adaptability is what makes the partnership so effective.Trevor Thompson
Solutions Specialist, Leslie and Associates, representative for HAVIS

It is this ability to make mission critical technology simply work that has defined TOUGHBOOK for three decades.Greg Fleet
Secure Access Lead Canada, Absolute Security
