<br />13 <br /> <br />3.7 ADDITIONAL RECOMMENOA TIONS <br /> <br />3.7.1 State of Minnesota Criminal Justice Interfaces <br /> <br />It is recommended that Anoka County provide an enhancement to their records <br />management software to provide for a new required interface to the State of Minnesota <br />Criminal Justice Information System and Criminal Justice Reporting System. The state <br />requires that the interface utilize the TCP/IP communications protocol on or before July <br />1,2001. <br /> <br />3.7.2 Jail Manaqement and Civil Process <br /> <br />It is recommended that the county acquire and install a jail management module and a <br />civil process module to the records management system software being purchased from <br />VisionAir. This software will more fully utilize the power available in the VisionAir <br />records management system application software and provide for much smoother and <br />more effective operations at relatively low cost. <br /> <br />3.7.3 Reports from Vehicles <br /> <br />When the COPD communication system is in place, it is recommended that law <br />enforcement personnel in vehicles equipped with laptop computers prepare and <br />transmit reports by radio using existing paperless software. Preferably, this should be <br />done by having formats for reports stored in the laptops in the vehicles so they need not <br />take up radio time while being transmitted to the vehicle. The reporting system should <br />allow for the population of various fields in a selected report format from the computer- - <br />aided dispatch system record, so that this information does not require reentry. The <br />officer in the vehicle should be able to change information in fields and add fields and <br />comments, so that a report is completed. When completed, it should be transmitted by <br />radio to the records management system where it will be available for review by a <br />designated person before it is finally entered in the records management system. <br /> <br />3.7.4 New Technoloqies <br /> <br />It is recommended that law enforcement personnel throughout Anoka County continue <br />to monitor new technologies that are becoming available to increase the effectiveness <br />of law enforcement officers. <br />
