California, West Virginia Police Select SaaS to Streamline Operations, Cut Costs

  • May 03, 2007

The Presynct Report Network was selected by San Ramon, Calif., Police Department and Cedar Grove, W.Va., Police Department as a way of streamlining their incident reporting procedures, reducing the amount of paper generated by the departments and increasing operational efficiency.

The Presynct Report Network is specifically tailored to meet individual needs of police agencies and sheriff's offices and streamline data entry into vendors' records management systems. It is available as a standalone software installation on-site, or a subscription-based application, or it can be integrated with existing CAD/RMS software.

San Ramon Police Department selected on-site installation of the Presynct Report Network for its 55 full-time officers. Cpt. Joe Gorton is looking forward to reducing the number of staff hours required for writing and storing incident reports.

"It will ultimately be way less paper and less manual input into the record system," Gorton said.

Gorton added that the Presynct Report Network makes it easy for officers to transition to the system because the electronic forms are identical to the paper forms the officers are accustomed to filling out.

"It takes no effort. It looks like a regular report that the officer is used to writing," Gorton said.

Cedar Grove Police Department, which employs two full-time officers, selected Presynct Technologies' Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. Presynct_SaaS provides a way for agencies to have all the benefits of an in-house reporting system without installation and ongoing costs of system maintenance. Cedar Grove Chief Wesley Smith said SaaS provides him with time-saving research capabilities.

"If we need to go in and research something, we can call it up by officer, suspect or case number, as well as other parameters," Smith said.

In addition, Smith said his workload has been reduced as a result of subscribing to SaaS because he can submit state-required reports electronically.

"We don't have to worry about turning them in ourselves anymore," Smith said.
