13 <br /> 3.7 ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> 3.7.1 State of Minnesota Criminal Justice Interfaces <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 /> 3.7.2 Jail Management and Civil Process <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 /> 3.7.3 Reports from Vehicles <br /> When the CDPD 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 infomiation 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 /> 3.7.4 New Technologies <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 />
