Solve crimes faster.

I like having the ability to cross-reference person, vehicles (including tags), and property with other agencies. This expedites the process, detectives used to have to call several law enforcement agencies and speak with several persons in order to learn whether or not they had any intelligence of value. FINDER is a very cost effective way of sharing law enforcement information with sister agencies.

FINDER allows all 500 Officers in our Department access to every police database. This information is web-based and allows street officers and investigators immediate access from their vehicle tablets on information only found in Departments Records Management Systems (RMS). This reduces the investigation time used in developing and following up on leads. We share our RMS and have read access to every Police Department’s RMS at our fingertips. This partnership and collaboration is invaluable and the least expensive module of software we are using in the Department.

We’ve been involved with FINDER since the beginning. We were an early supporter of FINDER because I believe that information is power; that information is an absolute necessity in law enforcement. Crime is trans-jurisdictional and when agencies can collaborate and share information, it can significantly aid in solving crimes.
