HELPING LAW ENFORCEMENT TRACK CRIMINALS
By: John Ivanic - Columbus City Council Highlights
Since 1996, the Columbus Division of Police has used an intelligence system database to catalog criminal intelligence information. The database contains criminal intelligence data that is crucial to the Division’s investigative personnel. As intelligence-led policing becomes the standard model for increasingly resource-limited policing agencies, it is crucial to effectively organize current and future intelligence data, and be able to share it with local and state-wide law enforcement agencies. Public Safety Committee Chair Andrew J. Ginther is sponsoring ordinance 0604-2010 to authorize the expenditure of $168,808.50 from the Government Grant and Drug Seizure Funds for the purchase of an upgraded Intelligence/Case Management System for Columbus Police. This Intelligence/Case Management System will be web-based, encrypted, interface with Division NetRMS, CAD, I.D. and Mugshot Imaging Systems. The system will be remotely accessible by Police personnel and include three years of software upgrades and maintenance. The database will expand data sharing to allow access to 30 or more outside agencies within the Greater Columbus region.
