Manvel Police Department Introduces New Public Safety Information System
March 19, 2007

Manvel Police Department, consisting of 13 sworn officers and five civilian employees, has completed installation of a suite of new public safety software from Executive Information Services, Inc. The new applications are now operational and include computer assisted dispatching (CAD), mobile digital communications (MDC), and records management (RMS).

According to Ralph L. Garcia, Chief of Police, “this infrastructure will bring the Manvel Police Department to the forefront and will serve the Manvel community well into the future. PSNet is a system that can grow with us.” The new software is designed not only to meet State and Federal reporting requirements, but also to improve the operational efficiency of the Department and substantially enhance its investigative capabilities.  Mr. Ethan Bell, the City’s IT Manager, was responsible for the selection and implementation of the applications.

The computer assisted dispatch system is a high performance on-line, real-time computer system designed to automate operations in the emergency communications center. This software helps insure that correct responses are sent to the right location as quickly as possible for the citizens of Manvel. It also provides information to the first responders that both protects them and helps save lives at the scene.

The records management system automates the flow of crime reports and other paperwork within the Department. This helps the agency meet mandated reporting requirements in a cost effective manner. It also provides a comprehensive investigative database that helps the Department solve crimes and protect the public interest. The system is optimized for investigative and reporting purposes. A key goal is to make data available to investigators and to help agencies identify crime trends, community-policing problems, and identify and apprehend violators.

The mobile data system extends the capabilities of the records and dispatch systems to the police vehicle. This allows officers to obtain the benefits of automation in the field without having to come into the station to use the system. It also provides secure and fast digital communications and automatic vehicle location using satellite based GPS receivers. This provides both efficiency and safety for the field officer.

Many of the modules are also supported via the Internet, allowing the agency to extend shared access to other agencies and authorized individuals in the area.
