TARDIS - Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Dr Who's time machine. Probably not what you meant
TADIS - Tasking and Data Information system

Nice one Gav
but yes its TADIS not TARDIS. Although people pronounce it tardis as saying ta-dis just doesn't sound right!

I have been using this system for 12 months. It has gone down a couple of times but has been invaluable for patrols.
