\"3LeggedStool\"<\/a>You\u2019ve all heard of CAD and RMS and know they are integral systems for operating a law enforcement organization.\u00a0 However, in today\u2019s policing a new system is required.\u00a0 The third leg of the Police \u201c3-Legged Stool\u201d is an Agency Management System (AMS).\u00a0 Thankfully this third system does not come with the same price tag or require the intense resource allocation of CAD and RMS, but it is equally integral to operating in an environment of ever increasing demands that outpace government budgets.<\/p>\n

Why Do I Need an Agency Management System?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With today\u2019s increased demands and expectations on law enforcement agencies, gone are the days of just responding to calls for service and writing reports.\u00a0 Therefore, a third software solution is required in addition to CAD and RMS systems.\u00a0 In general, Agency Management Systems (AMS) enable quicker search and access to critical data, targeted information sharing, user-friendly electronic workflows, and facilitate collaboration so key initiatives and group problem solving are accomplished more efficiently. \u00a0SmartForce\u2122 is a unique AMS since it is law enforcement specific, meets the Criminal Justice Information Services Division\u2019s strict standards for security, and allows for internal and external collaboration.\u00a0 Other off-the-shelf systems do not meet this criteria, are not designed to account for today\u2019s evidence-based law enforcement complexities or workflows, and provide limited information-sharing features.<\/p>\n
