Paperwork or Paperless Work less with TraCS
TraCS (Traffic and Criminal Software) is by far the best and most robust public safety data collection software on the market. TraCS is a suite of tools that provides officers with all of the functionality needed to record and retrieve incident information wherever and whenever an incident occurs.
Officers respond to many incidents every day
and each incident requires paperwork and
other administrative duties that take away
from valuable patrol time. The TraCS
software was developed in response to the
need for a well-designed information
management tool for field officers that
simplifies the data collection process
and eases the administrative burden on
officers. What most
records management systems do poorly or not
at all, TraCS handles in an intuitive,
elegant way that makes data entry fast, easy
and accurate.
TraCS consists of two related applications,
TraCS Mobile and TraCS Office.
TraCS Mobile delivers a mobile desktop that an officer can use to fulfill all administrative duties electronically while remaining in the vehicle. With fewer resources available it is more important than ever to make officers more efficient and keep them in the field and out of the office as much as possible.
Use TraCS Mobile in conjunction with TraCS Office or use it as the front end to your existing records management system. Either way, the timeliness, quality and completeness of the data collected will amaze you.
TraCS Office consists of all of the same features as TraCS Mobile and also offers a forms management platform to allow administrative staff to organize, process, evaluate, and query the records collected. TraCS Office applies your existing paper flow to the electronic records in its entirety from receipt from the officer in the field the whole way through to the state and federal stakeholders that mandate the collection of the information.
