Alliance PD Central provides a streamlined, single-entry reporting environment for officers with the specific goal of dramatically reducing the time officers spend creating reports and increasing time on the beat. A list of reports for which each officer is responsible is generated automatically from the Case Reporting system. A narrative form offers full text editing capabilities with spell checking and importing tools to bring in text entered through other programs. Multiple reports are then generated from the single-entry forms and can be passed to Records and/or Supervisors for verification and review. Officers are notified automatically if reports are past due.
Integrated Document Imaging
Handwritten documents or reports may be scanned in and incorporated as an integral part of the case report, using the several commercial document-imaging engines. Once scanned, these images may be searched by a number of criteria including the case number and document name. They may also be passed through an optical character recognition (OCR) filter to convert the imaged document to a word processing document. Imaged documents may be accessed by selecting or double clicking on the appropriate report title in the completed case reports windows.
