TROY, Mich., March 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New software purchased by the Arlington Police Department in Texas expected to bring time-saving measures and increased access to information to the law enforcement agency.
The Arlington PD licensed the following Aegis™ public safety solutions from New World Systems®:
- Law Enforcement Records Management
- Mobile Field Reporting
- Corrections Management
- Decision Support & Dashboards
According to Lieutenant Carol Riddle, New World is replacing an outdated, discontinued, and unsupported software system.
"Based on the findings during the RFP process, we believe that the Arlington Police Department will see added value in the time-saving work flow and more robust search capabilities offered by New World's software," Riddle said. "The software's easy-to-use field-based reporting system also offers users better access to information."
New World was selected after a nationwide search by a team consisting of members from the Arlington Police Department, Arlington Fire Department, and the city's Information Technology Department. Site visits to New World customers in Colorado Springs, CO and Rochester, NY were completed by members of the Arlington Police Department who observed the software in a live environment.
Riddle said New World was also selected because of its experience and success in implementing and maintaining records management systems.
