(Photo provided by City of Long Beach Police) . Matthew Chretien of Intellinetics (Matt@intellinetics. com) reported they provide enterprise content management (ECM). The ECM platforms provide capabilities to convert all of the agency���s unstructured information into a secure, intelligent archive through the RMS, available instantly, anywhere, from any device. They can provide law enforcement agencies with the means to help the paper/data overload overwhelming so many departments. Unstructured information includes PDF fles, e-mail, digital recordings, e-mails, cell phone calls, old hard copy fles, and just about everything else. This is a concern for virtually any department, large or small. Older CAD systems with data in legacy systems can use Intellinetics as a repository for their old fles. The agency will still have access to their information, but it will not be tying up their storage space and they will not have to maintain security over that data. Cloud storage is an attractive option in situations such as this and helps departments stay within their budgets for information services. ECM systems in law and public safety manage public service information requests and many of those requests involve documents that are protected, such things as juvenile records, confdential informants or documents containing social security numbers and fnancial information. The software provides the option to electronically redact the protected information in an automated manner, rather than the old system where information had to be blacked out and recopied and distributed. Washington State Patrol For example, the Washington State Patrol use the most advanced technology to enter collision reports directly from their patrol cars, the information is transmitted directly to their records department, and citizens can easily obtain police reports that otherwise might have taken an extended time to obtain.
