Industry Solution
The Basics
To keep the public safe, law enforcement professionals have to act and react quickly and smartly. However, when they try to work and make decisions based on content spread across file cabinets, storage rooms, computers and desks, it’s nearly impossible.
But if you convert all that content (paper documents, photos, video, audio recordings) to electronic files so they can retrieve them in one place, they won’t need to search for it. With secure storage and fast retrieval of critical documents, records and evidence, OnBase gives law enforcement agencies tools to further their public safety mission.
The Challenges
Like most public sector agencies, law enforcement faces budget cuts that eliminate staff and force cut backs. Given the critical need for field-based staff in law enforcement, maintaining paper-based files consumes budget dollars and staff time that could be better spent in the community. Instead, they deal with:
- Printing, storing and tracking paper that distracts from the public safety mission of having an ever-ready presence in the field
- Finding critical information stored in disconnected systems that slows law enforcement action
- Duplicating records and actions for other departments that wastes staff time and money
The Solution
The OnBase Law Enforcement solution lets law enforcement agencies reduce operating costs by providing a more efficient process of storing critical documents and files. With the flexibility to store paper, photos, videos and audio files, OnBase creates a cost-effective means to find the information that drives and records investigative efforts. OnBase also connects law enforcement to other departments and agencies across your governmental enterprise. With records centrally stored, it’s easier for investigations to share information with other agencies, like the prosecutor’s office, courts and correctional facilities, that depend on the same documents. With OnBase, cases move faster through the justice system.
The Payoff
- Reduces operating costs and reclaims staff time
- Integrates with other systems for quick access to critical information
- Increases efficiency and effectiveness across the justice system and in the field
