The new system will extract data from disparate sources, providing the ability to streamline access to data, obtain information in real-time, and share it seamlessly. Patrol officers and detectives will gain an immediate benefit by being able to perform a single query against multiple state and local law enforcement databases.
Palm Beach County's new law enforcement system will provide users with secure, role-based access to information from various municipal law enforcement agency records management systems (RMS) and the State of Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Department of Corrections, and Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The browser-based system will enable users to quickly and easily obtain information from multiple systems through a single sign-on and inquiry mechanism.
The system will ultimately encompass over 50 disparate data sources, providing an integrated countywide criminal justice information system. In addition, neighboring counties and state officials will also contribute to, and benefit from the system, as it grows to become a comprehensive real-time information sharing and collaboration platform, streamlining access to criminal justice information for all users.
