Records Management (RMS)
Zuercher Records is a records management system that consolidates and automates records processing for public safety agencies. It organizes everything from case reports to warrants to sex offender data in an easy-to-use fashion.
Records provides a smooth, efficient process for case report creation. Information such as incident address, call type, and complainant data is pulled from CAD, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry. This information, along with call details and unit response times, is displayed alongside the case record while officers write reports—there’s no need for printed cover sheets or calling dispatch to confirm details. With Records, users can stay organized by attaching case narratives, citations, search warrants, field identifications, call referral forms, evidence, and scanned documents directly to case reports.
Records’ case workflow system is highly configurable. It allows for unlimited case report types (patrol, investigations, juvenile, narcotics, etc.), and access to each report type is controlled based on permissions. Records can be set up to fit whatever system an agency already has in place for case review and approval, and supervisors can easily approve or kick back case parts, with comments as necessary. The workflow system is based on automatically generated tasks, so that each officer has a centralized list of case reports to complete, add to, fix, or review.
Records’ automatic notification feature can be used to greatly enhance an agency’s case management process. Does the records clerk need to be notified via email when a case is approved so that he can begin the records review process? Records can do that. Should the senior staff be instantly alerted via text message whenever high-profile incidents such as fatal accidents occur? Records can do that, too.
In addition to case management, Records enables comprehensive property and evidence tracking, including a detailed chain of custody log. Records also logs warrants, sex offender data, pistol permit information, bicycle registrations, pawn property tickets, and more, managing all of an agency’s records in one centralized, easy-to-search system.
