SIRE—PUBLIC SAFETY

Public safety agencies are continuously subjected to rising expectations regarding the range of services they perform, while also facing flat or diminishing budgets. At the same time, they suffer from mountains of paperwork. The challenge is that papers corresponding to a single case are hardly ever filed in the same location. As such, accessing information requires accessing multiple file cabinets and locations. This stands massively in the way of improving the efficiency, access, and collaboration required in order to provide outstanding services.

SIRE presents a solution that allows public safety to stay on the cutting edge. By integrating with most popular case management applications, SIRE FileCenter allows Records Managers to search SIRE’s database of scanned case files while simultaneously searching the database of the case management application. This allows your staff to quickly find necessary case files and all related documentation with a few key strokes. SIRE Forms allows officers to fill out reports and forms in their patrol car and eliminate the need to re-enter hand-completed forms into a system. This form can start a Workflow that encompasses the entire booking or evidence gathering process. Working will all forms of electronic media permits authorized personnel to look up all related case files directly in seconds using SIRE WebCenter, including arrest records, mug shots, crime scene photos, videos, etc. But besides saving valuable time, SIRE also strictly enforces permissions and keeps audit trails so the Records manager, for example, always has a record of who saw what records and when.

Last but not least, SIRE Mug Center is tied into the central repository allowing officers to pull the mug shot of a person from their patrol cars, or even create a “six pack” or line up using demographic criteria. This allows the officer to show suspects meeting specific criteria to witnesses right at the crime scene within minutes after the crime, rather than having to take them back to the station. The subsequent increase in operational efficiency stemming from automating paperwork and streamlining tasks and processes reduces officer downtime and allows first responders to devote more time to their primary responsibilities.

The bottom line is, SIRE Technologies offers an important opportunity for public safety agencies to make the most of their limited resources. With SIRE’s modular design, agencies can find the right solution to accommodate their individual goals and budgets. Whether it be managing records, sharing information, or building community partnerships—SIRE is designed to help you serve and protect better.
