Identification of suspects could quickly be made using the data base to prove the actual identity of the person. The Crime Scene officer can make his State Bureau of investigation monthly reports. The Uniformed Crime Reports, summaries, stolen property, crime analysis, and synopses are available for incident and arrest data. These UCR reports are predesigned and easy to produce and takes approximately five minutes verses the eight hours on the current system. This will allow the officer more time for other investigative duties. This proposed record management system provides exact emulation of the following official state forms: Incident, Arrest, Search Warrants, Arrest Warrants, and Inmate Control Form. Once the reports are loaded into the system it can be printed on regular paper and looks the same as a state form we obtain from the SBI. The detectives will be able to setup a Narcotics Intelligence File that allows them to make follow-up records for undercover drug buys, search results, surveillance, general intelligence (known association of drug deals). It will also tabulate similar Modes of Criminal Operations throughout it's data base, thereby linking cases together and possibly solving more cases. The search and arrest warrants will be automatically created from the intelligence records in the exact state formats ready to be signed by judicial officials and served. The detectives will also be linked to the Division of Criminal Information (DCI) in Raleigh through this system, under which they will obtain state and federal records for investigative purposes. The Crime Prevention Officer will be able to make I.D.'s through this system for all the County Departments, and setup mug shots or photo lineups for the Detectives in a matter of seconds. The jail will have a complete management tool, including organizing, reporting, and automatic interfaces with the other data bases (warrants, Incidents, Arrests, Civil Records, Alerts for prior incidents in the Jail or Medical History). It also records property inventory, pharmacy and physicians order, monetary transactions, visitor log, transportation status, court dates, dispositions, sentences and release dates. It will provide a daily meal count, medical and other expenses, and calculate the State and Federal fees that are due the county for the housing of State and Federal Prisoners.
