Campus Safety Magazine highlights Hillsborough County Public Schools’ use of CAD/RMS to Improve Security

May 13, 2019

Cyrun is glad and humbled to be included in an article about school security by Campus Safety Magazine. The entire article can be found at https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/safety/security-integration-software-incident-tracking/.

It has details about the Security and Emergency Management Division at Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida. HCPS is using a CAD/RMS (Cyrun’s own Alliance Solution for School Districts) to improve security of staff, students & visitors while also improving record-keeping and staff/officers communications.

According to Campus Safety Magazine, ” Hillsborough County Public Schools in west central Florida is the third largest school district in the state and the eighth largest in the entire country, consisting of over 277 campuses that service 215,000 students. It also employs 25,000 teachers and non-instructional staff – making it the largest employer in the county.”

The article also includes tips on what to look for in a new Incident Reporting System. They include:

Have the ability to document and track citations
Have an officer log so management can track officer efficiency
Have a parking permit module
Have the ability to track keys
Be able to manage property (lost and found)
Automatically alert key players of important incidents and events
Track trespassers

Testimonials

When there are issues, which is very seldom, CYRUN is very responsive and they immediately find the problem and resolve it. … I would recommend this system to any Law Enforcement, Public Safety, or Security department. It works seamlessly and provides excellent reports on trends, MO’s, and activity within our jurisdiction. The reporting system works well with Legal, Risk Management, Chain of Custody, Lost and Found, Evidence, and many other areas that these agencies work with everyday.

The help I get from Cyrun is always exceptional. This week’s phone conversation with Cyrun Support was no different. You always respond so promptly and for that I am truly grateful. You typically will do some research, then set up a phone call and walk me through the steps. I find Cyrun (Alliance) to be a great company to work with. Thank you!

Crime Scene Technician at Law Enforcement Agency
I don’t like having issues, no one does. But I have to give Cyrun credit for ALWAYS immediately helping me with any problems. They typically contact me within 10 minutes of my letting them know I’m having an issue and they usually resolve the problem within a half hour. Excellent customer service from knowledgeable technicians.

We went live with Cyrun’s Alliance software in April 2017. It was a smooth process and we received all the needed support and training from Cyrun to be successful. Cyrun is a great option for campus security and police departments to manage their Calls For Service and incident reporting.

Manager, Dept Public Safety at a Large Public University
Our Police Department choose Cyrun to improve and enhance our CAD, Records and evidence systems. This was our third attempt at switching from a legacy system to a new system and to say the least, our personnel were not excited! Previous cut-overs were time consuming and painful, but this one was different. The project management and installation team were friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The project did have some glitches, but seemed easy to work through with Cyrun’s outstanding technical support team. I have recommended this product/company to several agencies though out the western U.S. and Hawaii. The system is user friendly, easy to learn and has the ability to expand with our needs. More importantly, the most positive aspect of the company is their people. It has been a pleasure working with the sales, project management and customer support teams! I highly recommend this company and product to any agency that is looking for a great affordable product with stellar service!

Command Staff, California Law Enforcement Agency
As for Alliance 7 itself, I couldn’t be happier. Everyone loves the change and feels that they are able to complete tasks more quickly and efficiently now. “Intuitive” is a word that I hear the most to describe it. Personally, I love the tabs so I can open one thing without closing another… The Dashboard is also a useful tool, and system access settings are refined nicely.
I really appreciate Cyrun’s project managers, and their abilities. Not only as trainers, but ability to quickly resolve problems while remaining calm. They always kept me in the know and didn’t gloss over the facts.

Before discovering this innovative solution, our department was handwriting log books and transferring data into word documents. As you could imagine the process was time consuming, and flawed…. Alliance software solution has exceeded my expectations. The Alliance software has allowed our staff to maintain our information in one multi-user location, which makes it easy to input and retrieve data as required from any workstation. Alliance has enabled our department to track our officers movements with real time dispatch, which has increased our efficiency. Not to mention the abundance of reporting data that allows the shift managers to expose and rectify their inefficiencies. I could go on and on about the numerous benefits that this software has to offer, but I would rather simply say that Alliance is now the central hub for all communication and data entry for my department.

I have more than 28 years of experience in law enforcement including using, purchasing and deploying CAD/RMS systems. I found Cyrun’s personnel to be knowledgeable and personable. We have very unique and very specific needs and Cyrun tailored the solution to meet the needs of our organization. Cyrun’s product is working well and we have established a good relationship with their support staff.
