We are developing a GIS application in conjunction with the 38th 
Battalion of Military Police in São Carlos city. Basically, this GIS 
application shows a city map where it is possible to monitor police 
vehicles (equipped with GPS) and occurrences, as well as recommending 
directions to attend these occurrences.

Because it is free, works with Linux, and is well documented.

It is easy to use, and it works. :-)

It is hard to learn how to make a hard upgrade. Specially if you don't 
install things on default directories, or if you run PostgreSQL on a 
different port.
But I've learned how to deal with it. ;-)
