Washington consortium improves regional data sharing

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Wash. -- The Bi-County Police Information Network (BiPIN), a consortium of various law enforcement agencies in Franklin and Benton Counties, Washington, has begun implementation of a computer aided dispatch, law enforcement records management system, jail management system, and mobile field reporting solution from Intergraph Public Safety.

In addition to Franklin and Benton Counties, BiPIN also serves the tri-cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco, Washington, serving a total population of 195,200. BiPIN has long been a leader in eastern Washington for regional data sharing and needs to continue support to multiple agencies and their varying policies. BiPIN plans to integrate other partners in its two-county area and expand computer aided dispatching to its fire services.
