information on Net-PD.
Records
management (RM) automates the police procedures commonly
referred to as paperwork. As the main store of police data in the Net-PD system, there
are several flows of data into the system as well as out.
The
Records Management module interfaces with the data entered
into the CAD module and provides data entry capabilities
for reports normally filed on paper.
The database in which the reports are stored is
designed to support the analysis of this data in ways that
are impractical in a manual system.
There are a standard set of reports provided by the
application.
Records Management also contains a set
of tables known collectively as the Master Name Index or
MNI. The MNI is a validation for names in the system.
Associated with the name is a listing of profiles,
traits, and aliases.
Profiles contain information about the person such
as address, phone number, employer, etc.
Traits contain height, weight, eye color, etc.
Both profile and traits are dated to show how the
person has changed throughout time.
Aliases contain names that the person has been
known to use in the past.
RM also shares the GEOBASE with the CAD
module. Locations
in RM are validated against the GEOBASE as they are in
CAD. The
following functions are available to the Records
Management user:

locating Names and Incidents.
-
Database
Maintenance: This
provides a screen interface for each of the validation
tables used by the Records Management module.
The Computer Aided Dispatch Module
provides an on-line interface for dispatchers to log
incoming calls and manage active police resources. It
serves as a resource allocation tool, enabling Police
Departments to prioritize Calls For Service (CFS), and
allocate available police units.
The CAD System maintains status information for all
units and all pending Calls For Service, and recommends
which units should be dispatched to a call.
These functions allow the dispatcher to allocate
limited resources in a more effective manner.
The system is designed to support municipalities
with single or multiple enforcement agencies.
The CAD System also provides an
optional feature, the GEOBASE, which validates the
location of calls and provides essential information
regarding Involved Parties to the officers responding to
the call.
Our
CAD module is also designed to work for Fire Departments,
First Aid Squads and Health Departments.
The
following functions are provided for the dispatcher.
-
Track
Call For Service (Call Taker Screen):
Track Call For Service maintains a history of
calls for service by supplying data to the Police
Services Geobase.
This history, along with alerts, gun licenses,
etc. will allow the dispatcher to allocate adequate
personnel for the call and inform the personnel of any
special circumstances seen in the history.
A CFS, when entered, will appear on the system
Status Display Screen (described below).
-
Status
Display Screen: This
screen provides a display interface that is updated
each time the status of a unit or a call for service
is modified. It
shows active patrol units, open calls which have not
been dispatched, and dispatched calls and units.
It also provides a command line that allows the
dispatchers to dispatch, arrive, and clear calls.
-
Shift
Startup Screen: Shift startup allows the dispatcher, or other authorized
personnel to assign officers and vehicles at the
start-up (beginning) of a shift and for the release of
officers and vehicles at the stand-down (end) of a
shift.
- Geobase:
The GEOBASE
is an optional feature that provides site verification
for addresses and locations.
These locations are associated with commonplace
names, area, districts, etc.
This information can be related to incoming
incidents, etc. via the address field.
- Alert
Timers are durations associated with
each type of CFS and of unit activity.
These time durations are a safety measure for
police officers, as they alert dispatchers to units
that have not reported on a timely basis.
- Track
Unit: Track
Unit allows the dispatch personnel to select from a
pool of active police units.
Each unit will be tracked by current location
(if assigned to a call), status at current location,
officer assigned to unit, etc.
This information will aide the system in
matching the next CFS to the next available, closest,
most qualified personnel, etc.
-
Dispatch
Support: Dispatch
Support provides access to the Phone Number Index and
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) information. The
site administrator or other authorized personnel will
enter and maintain this information.
-
Enter
Dispatch History: Enter Dispatch History provides an interface for adding CFS
information for users who do not use the CAD module
for their municipality.
Data entered in this manner is not broadcast to
the system Status Display Screen like normal calls for
service. Once
data is entered, the users can use the reporting
functions available to CAD to perform analysis of the
data.
-
CAD
Reports: CAD
Report Generation produces standard workload analysis
reports and ad-hoc reporting capabilities.
-
CAD
Database Maintenance: CAD Database Maintenance consists of a number of data screens
that allow the administrator to add, modify, and
delete records in the CAD validation tables.
This includes the maintenance of:
- Police
Personnel records
- Vehicle
records
- Standard
Operating Procedures
- Location
information (GEOBASE)
- Telephone
number information (Phone Number Index)
- Various
codes and validations
-
Command
Line Interface:
The CAD module features a special command line
interface, which supports the entry of approximately
25 shorthand commands for dispatching units, clearing
calls, etc…
-
911 Interface –
The CAD module interfaces with the E911 system to
retrieve the caller name and address and allow the
user to enter a Call For Service.
The
Supervisory module provides several special functions
necessary for the upkeep of the
Net-PD system.
Each municipality will have its own local
or site administrator (SA). The most critical of the duties of the
System Administrator is the maintenance of application
data backups.
This
module will provide the SA with full flexibility to add
and remove users, as well as grant and revoke access to
all system data and processes.
The system security will be implemented at the form
level with the ability to grant and revoke query, add,
update, and delete privileges.
A list of screens available to users will be
maintained by the SA for this purpose.
The SA will also be able to
modify the context sensitive help files and the system
error messages for content and readability.
- MDT Access - The system can be
accessed from a Mobile Data Terminal installed in the
police cars.
-
Thin Client solutions. The system supports Thin Client technology and does not require that
you upgrade your current
client workstations to run the system.
This will allow you to preserve your investment
in your current workstations and still have the
benefit a new and speedy system.
- Web Interface - The application
provides a web interface which will allow you to
access the application from a web browser.
There will not be a need to install and
maintain any additional software on your PC
workstations. It
will also allow the users to access the system from
any client platform that supports a web browser.

Coming Soon....
We are currently developing a solution to allow
multiple independent municipalities using different Police
Management Systems to communicate and perform criminal
analysis functions across jurisdictions.
We can provide a fully customized solution to your
agency. Our consulting group will customize the
Net-PD application to meet your agencies specific needs.
We can design a custom support program for your
agency. We can support your complete solutions
including Net-PD, Oracle and RedHat Linux.
As part of our initial delivery of the system we will
provide complete installation and training services.
We can provide training to end users or we can "train
the trainer" so that you can provide your own
training to users as you roll out the system.
