CRIMES Public Safety Software
Southlake and Keller have expressed an interest and are waiting to see if Grapevine
commits to it. The reason for this interest is that SHSU has agreed to purchase and
install a regional server if Grapevine commits to the program. This will allow all cities on
the system the ability to access the records of other member cities. This will be a
valuable tool for investigators and patrol officers alike. All agencies will be able to share
data on crime trends and criminals. This information sharing between neighboring
agencies can only enhance the ability to fight and solve crime.
This regional server will be included in the system at no cost. Other software packages
offer the same opportunity to share data between agencies but it would cost the affected
agencies several thousand dollars to purchase the software. The regional server will
also benefit the Fire Departments who utilize the CRIMES system. Agencies will be able
to see each other's CAD screens, immediately showing each other what apparatus they
might have available to be dispatched in a mutual aid request. With these same
agencies already sharing a radio system, this move would greatly enhance our
interoperability capabilities and put Northeast Tarrant County years ahead of other areas
in terms of data and communication sharing.
The CRIMES system has been tested by the Police Department and was found to be
much more user friendly than the current system. Additionally, the programmers from
SHSU were very eager to adapt the system to fit our needs and have been very
responsive to any requests made by staff. According to the Euless and Colleyville
Police Departments they too have found the programmers to be very receptive to any
adjustments that were needed for their respective agencies.
Staff recommends approval.
