BACKGROUND:
Ocala Police IT is requesting approval to proceed with the renewal of Computer Information Systems (CIS) software. The Ocala Police Department has been utilizing CIS software since July 2007. The software is responsible for dispatching Police, Fire, and EMS services to emergency and non-emergency calls. This software is also responsible for records management, evidence management, and interfacing with external entities and other internal software programs.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The Ocala Police Department needs this software to function as it is utilized in all areas of the agency. This system runs 24/7 and, as such, requires a high level of support. This renewal will enable public safety entities to receive updates and stay current with new technologies as provided by the vendor. This renewal encompasses an overhaul and updates to the Geographic Information System (GIS) that OPD and CIS utilize to provide mapping and updates to the CAD system and Mobile Field Reporting systems in the vehicles.
