System Transitions
Getting a new system requires change. Change for the better if you plan accordingly. Otherwise your investment will be a loss. Workflows must change. People must adapt. The system must be used to its fullest.

Public concerns about the accuracy of the police department crime statistics have been addressed by this comprehensive review. The report details exactly how the errors occurred and what we need to do to fix them. This exhaustive report will serve as a basic template for every police department in the country that has experienced crime data errors.
Modernized Records Management
We work around the country and follow each state’s specific requirements governing information management.
THE PROBLEM: no plan in place
- Are you building a records division from scratch?
- Are you implementing a new CAD/RMS?
- Do supervisors check reports like they should?
- Do your detectives keep case files in their desks?
- Are you handling expungements correctly?
- Is everyone on a different page?
- Are there boxes of old records that nobody knows what to do with?
- Does your agency keep everything, forever?
- See top 10 information management failures in law enforcement
State law typically requires agencies to have a formalized records management plan that governs the information management life-cycle.
OUR SOLUTIONS
- Records management programs
- Policy development
- Training
- Record inventorying
- Record/data scheduling
- Records destruction
- Document conversion
THE PROBLEM: accuracy, timeliness, paper and more
- Is it taking too long to locate and obtain internal information?
- Are you implementing a data driven policing model and need timely information?
- Is the public having to wait 7-10 days to get copies of reports when it should only take 1-2 days?
- Do you have a room or warehouse full of old records that nobody knows what to do with?
- Are there no retention schedules in place?
- Is everyone on a different page?
- See the top 10 law enforcement information management failures
Our consulting services ensure your agency is spending resources wisely, providing superior customer service and is in compliance with the law. Utilizing industry standards and our on the job experience in police records and I.T. units, we are able to conduct assessments, internal audits, and program development designed to streamline the management of agency-wide or unit level information: Incidents. Accidents. Arrests. Citations. Memorandum. Email. Use of force. Property records. Retention schedules and more. 
Our Solutions

- RMS/CAD project management
- Policy development
- Records assessments
- Records scheduling & destruction
- Business process re-engineering
- Training manuals
THE PROBLEM: all those records nobody wants to deal with
Do you have an old room, closet or warehouse full of old archival records that nobody knows what to do with or wants to deal with? Usually this results from having no retention schedules in place or not following what they say if they do exist. We’ll come in with a shovel-ready team, conduct the inventory, install new shelving systems, re-index and containerize the files utilizing a methodology that makes future destruction easy. Remember, case numbering on boxes doesn’t tell you what’s in them! After fixing the records room, we’ll get you paperless so it never happens again (see digital transformation tab above).
Our Solutions
- Records inventory
- Large-scale shredding
- Re-indexing/boxing of remaining records
- Retention scheduling
- Shelving systems
- Forms conversion and document imaging

THE PROBLEM: “That’s how we’ve always done it”
Good government is the goal and while many business processes are in place for good reason, some are not. “That’s how we’ve always done it” isn’t a good approach. As times and technology change, so must the way we handle information. If it’s taking too long to process and move information within the agency then change is needed. If there are boxes full of old paper records collecting dust, it’s time for change. If records are still being printed out from RMS and filed, it’s time for help. If reports are being keyed in by hand…there’s a much better way of doing business.
Our Solution: it’s all about systems thinking and people’s performance.
We’ll lend a fresh pair of eyes to outdated information management practices. By working closely with your personnel and obtaining buy-in, we can successfully flatten organizational workflows and in turn significantly improve productivity.
Is it time for change?
- Data-driven performance
- Inter-agency data sharing
- Report approval processes
- Accessibility to information
- Digital transformation
- Removal of unnecessary procedure
- Organizational acceptance of change

Top 5 Signs It's Time for Change
Despite having an RMS, all reports are printed and filed. Why have an RMS then?
Departmental forms are printed and filled out with a pen.
Agency forms are sent via inter-office mail.
Officers have to sign their police reports.
You still utilize a fax machine.
Why do you insist on paper?
Imagine being able to create, sign, send and store all of your agency forms electronically. Interact with partner agencies without inter-office mail or lost forms. The efficiency gained is something to brag about. Good government. Wise stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Employee satisfaction.
