This <br />was done in response to higher than anticipated revenues and lower than <br />expected expenses. Since then, we have undertaken several initiatives that <br />have again driven our costs up. Additionally, we are loaking at several new and <br />exciting endeavors that aim to keep. us leaders in the regulation of pawn and <br />secondhand property dealers, and the recovery of stolen property. <br />Some of #he things that we are currently working for 2013 incl�de: <br />1) Implementing the XML standard for the electronic exchange of data — This <br />will help to greatly reduce the errors in the #ransmission of data to and <br />from the stores, thus ensuring less work for stores and more timely and <br />accurate information for investigators. <br />2} Investigation of strategic partnering opportunities with similarly positioned <br />law enforcement programs. This could greatly increase the amount of <br />information available to the investigators that use APS. Additionally, this <br />could enable APS to acquire additional functionality that would again <br />b�enefit th� en�! users of APS. If after th�raugh investigation we find a <br />strategic partnership would be in the best interest of our members, we will <br />need to provide the design, development and implementation resources <br />needed to make it work. <br />3} SNAPERS — Seriaf Number and Proper#y Registration System — A system <br />being investigated and designed for citizens of communities that use <br />APS. This system is set up to allow citizens to securely_ log their property <br />information into a personal data base which would include the ability to <br />store photos, serial numbers, and additional descriptors. The system will <br />also allow users of SNAPERS (a working name at this time) to query items <br />against NCIC. �This is a GIGANTIC step in addressing'the Craigslist and <br />EBay selling of stolen property. A!I of what SNAPERS offers to its users is <br />��i� free of charge as long as their police departmenfi is an APS user. <br />I� <br />City inlwmatlon <br />and Services <br />www.mi�ngapoli3mn.g�v <br />AHermative Action Employer <br />
