Early Warning System — Employee Records Management System (ERMS)
SpeedTrack Inc., in cooperation with the Long Beach Police Department, the 5th largest police department in California, developed the Employee Records Management System (ERMS). The application was developed to accommodate all of the unique requirements of individual officers, command staff, administrators and HR personnel for reviewing and analyzing employee data. The resulting state-of-the-art system allows users to view and analyze data from many different databases. It performs analysis on all of an employee's electronic data. The application is simple and intuitive to use with training that only involves a 30 minute session.
Employee Records Management/Early Warning System
System features are listed below:
- Individual data retrieval, peer comparisons, and organization comparisons by group or groupings of individuals. Groupings include detail, section, division, bureau or total department. Custom groupings of officers or civilians can be made on-the-fly.
- Data included: arrests, bookings, citations, internal affairs, use of force, range scores, payroll, pursuits and collisions. (More can be added if desired.)
- Data can be displayed in graphical format (bar, line, pie) or in tabular format for transferring to other applications.
- Users can compare and contrast any and all event types by count, average, and percentage. They can also perform comparative analysis of multiple events by ranked order or percentage of a group.
- Thresholds and triggers can be set to flag individuals who meet or exceed; a certain number of occurrences within a set time period; an average per time period or a set standard deviation.
- There is no impact to the daily transactional performance of the participating databases, because of the underlying patented technology, GIA.
Criminal Information Management System (CRIMeS)
CRIMeS will enable you to use all your Data sources to solve crimes. Download CRIMeS detailed information and spec sheet CRIMeS.pdf.
CRIMeS is a simple, straightforward, innovative crime analysis and investigative software application which links data systems together. Once CRIMS has associated Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Records Management System (RMS), JAIL and City Databases (or a single database) then crime analysts, investigators, patrol officers can intuitively identify and analyze patterns and relationships between people, incidents, vehicles, locations, MO's, etc. to solve crimes.
What Officers are able to do with CRIMeS
Officers can have at their fingertips an "n-dimensional" guided search capability of their data, with ability to associate detailed information, or even partial information such as:
- Information about people (by involvement) such as name, sex, DOB, age, race, height, weight, occupation, address, phone #, etc.
- Location of event such as street name and number, type, state, county, city, zip code, zone, beat, etc.
- Incident type; date; location by atom, zone, district, beat; method of entry; means of attack; crime class and charge.
- Vehicle year, make, model, style, color, license plate, wildcard plate, positional plate number, etc.
- Search of all free text fields, reports and remarks.

Data Migration and Integration Solutions
Legacy Data Re-purposing
We can handle your data migration needs. When changing from your legacy database to your new database we can help you maintain access to both old and new data through a GIA Platform while you begin using the new database. We can also work out the business rules for handling unique data formatting issues and enable uploading of legacy data into your new ODBC compliant database.
Legacy Data Search and Storage Solution
When you purchase a new database system you may wish to "turn off" your legacy system, without having to migrate all the data into the new system. Using SpeedTrack you simply write the Legacy data off to text files and then use SpeedTrack to perform queries and generate reports. The SpeedTrack implementation is able to perform standardized as well as ad-hoc queries and export data for both the legacy and the new database through a single interface, replicating and customizing reports as required.
Success Stories Using Guided Information Access (GIA)
Alternative to Migrating From Legacy Databases
Two major police departments were updating their databases to a new, modern, third party, database. Faced with the expensive and often unsatisfactory transfer of 20 years or more of legacy data, they chose not to move the old data, but to use the GIA alternative. This solved the problem for them and provided, as an additional bonus, uniquely powerful search, analysis, and reporting capabilis for all the data. These features are used with both the old databases and the new third party one, individually and combined. No need to migrate the legacy data, or to continue to maintain the old databases. Additional tools allow users to continue to edit the old data.
Merging 8 Disparate Databases Without a Warehouse
Disparate databases were limiting the use of a major police department's crime and employee data. SpeedTrack, using its GIA system, merged the data from all the databases. This enabled the installation of SpeedTrack's ERMS system with its powerful search, analysis and reporting features. The original databases continue to be used with periodic updates to the GIA system.
Armed Robber Apprehended
Our first customer was a major police department. We had just made the first beta installation of GIA for their crime database and officers were following up a sighting of an armed robbery suspect. All that was known was the style, model and color of the car he was driving and just a few letters in the license plate. Investigating officers using the GIA system with just a few clicks were able to find the registered owner of the vehicle who then led them to the driver who was arrested, convicted and imprisoned.
