Operational Impact
With Entrinsik Informer, Raleigh PD has seen an increased amount of information made readily available and individualized reports can be constructed quickly and relatively easily. For example, previously if a detective wanted to know if new supplements were added to her case, she had to access each case individually. Now, an Informer report is e-mailed and available first thing in the morning for quick review with updates for all scheduled cases. | |
Using Informer, Raleigh PD generates Detective SGT Case Status reports, which include total cases assigned since the beginning of the year, outstanding cases from last year, total new cases in the previous 30 days, and outstanding cases without a disposition. These four reports, customized for each detective SGT, are scheduled and emailed on the first of every month to provide counts for everyone in their squad. Previously, these counts were manually maintained or calculated by each detective SGT. | |
Data validation is critical in an organization like Raleigh PD, so they have also created a report in order to view and validate data, e.g., dates and districts. Public safety agencies like Raleigh PD generate volumes of critical data each day such as time, location, and unit response, accidents, arrest reports, citations, dispositions, and more. Using Informer, Raleigh PD can now leverage that data and interactively analyze it, deliver personalized reports, and visualize key information using Informer dashboards. In addition to freeing employees from manually developing reports, Informer facilitates decision-making by providing validated, reliable, and personalized information in a timely manner. | |
