Attachment A Problem Statement: The Westminster Police Department has no reserve fund for technology hardware and software upgrades and/or replacement. The various technology systems used by Patrol and Detective personnel are limited in functionality and nearing the end of their serviceable life. JAG funds will be used for technology upgrades and/or replacement to enhance detective and frontline officers' ability to efficiently retrieve data and access Intranet services. Goal: Westminster PD will utilize the JAG funds to integrate available data systems in order to more effectively, predict and prevent criminal activities and, as funding permits, replace computer hardware and software. Specifically the JAG funds will be allocated to: 1. To continue the integration of available data systems in order to more effectively predict and prevent criminal activities; 2. To be able to replace technological systems, both hardware and software, in order to support the goal of information integration. Ob;ectives: The goals will be accomplished by: 1. Continue the integration of Alliance PD databases enabling line-level supervisors and personnel to more efficiently retrieve data. 2. Increased use of Crystal Decisions software (Crystal Reports) to develop standardized reports using the Alliance PD databases. 3. Expand the use of i2 Incorporated retrieval system (iBridge and Notebook Analyst software) to link criminal cases via subjects and property. 4. Develop the use of Intranet technologies. Quantifiable Performance Measures: 1. Investigators and supervisors will use i2 Inc. visual relational database software on a weekly basis in order to determine criminal and case histories, as measured by self- reporting logs for system use. 2. Investigators and supervisors will use Accurint software system on a monthly basis to establish suspect intrastate and interstate histories through public access information, as measured in the Accurint system's user history report. 3. Supervisors will access and use data retrieval reports generated by Crystal Decisions' Crystal Reports software to help measure workload and workflow of patrol and investigations functions, as measured by the creation and dissemination of a quarterly workload and workflow report within the next year. 4. Creation and maintenance of department Intranet to centralize reports, forms, and briefing materials for decentralized access by all personnel, as measured by the creation of the Intranet and consistent use by all personnel. 2006-DJ-BX-0158
