I. REGULAR AGENDA
15. Approval of Purchase of Services from the Omega Group (Required for Converting
Data from CTS America's CAD/RMS for use by Omega Group's Crime View
Products). (Lt. Steve McCosker)
The City of Ocoee currently owns the Omega Group's Crime View software. Crime View offers the police
department's crime analyst a simple interface that allows for advanced analyses such as Hot Spot mapping and
Repeat Calls reporting. The City's Computer Aided Dispatch(CAD)and Records Management Systems(RMS)data
can be automatically imported into a mapping platform which allows end users to visualize crime activity
geographically. This will allow for improved directed patrol and enforcement activities. When the City of Ocoee
contracted dispatch services through the City of Apopka, computer connectivity did not allow for the City of Ocoee
to have the direct connection needed to pull the crime data required for the utilization of Crime View. Now the
upgraded CAD and RMS,made possible by contracting with the City of Winter Garden, allows the City of Ocoee to
access crime data. In order to utilize the Crime View, the Omega Group will have to write a script to pull the data
from the CAD and RMS.Once the data is pulled from the RMS and CAD, it can also be used by the Omega Group's
Crimemapping.com. This product is the Web face of the Crime View Enterprise platform, which reaches and
informs interested community members with timely, accurate crime and incident information, resources and alerts
via a map. This product will allow community members access to view and monitor criminal activity, raising
awareness and assisting law enforcement in prevention.
It is recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the Police Department to
spend no more than $10,000 for the purchase of the Crimemapping.com and the interface to pull the data from our
current RMS/CAD. •8:27 PM
Lt. Steve McCosker gave a presentation that included the benefits they are receiving from the
software CTS America's CAD/RMS. Lt. McCosker explained the benefits included will be: to
eliminate redundancy into several different information systems, shared information among
many area Police Departments that are using the same software, tracking of neighborhood
watches, mapping of officers locations, officers self-dispatching for specified patrols.
In order to utilize the Crime View, the Omega Group will have to write a script to pull the data
from the CAD and RMS. Once the data is pulled from the RMS and CAD, it can also be used by
the Omega Group's Crimemapping.com. This product will allow community members access to
view and monitor criminal activity, raising awareness and assisting law enforcement in
prevention.
Motion: Authorize the Police Department to spend no more than $10,000 for the
purchase of the Crimemapping.com and the interface to pull the data from our
current RMS/CAD. Moved by Commissioner Keller, Seconded by Commissioner
Wilsen. Approve per staff recommendation. Motion passed 3-0 with
Commissioner Johnson absent.
Mayor Grogan also inquired about the "Next Door" crime free multi-housing information
network. Lt. McCosker said it is moving along well as a voluntary program at this time.
