Arrest/Booking: IMPACT® provides a complete booking system to process and print arrest related reports. Reports include the State Arrest report, Court Informations and Accusatory instruments, Crime Report, Lab Analysis, DWI forms, Property/Evidence Inventory forms, Statement of Admission and others. The module is integrated with the Blotter/Event Log, Master Name/Persons file, Warrants and the Case/Incident module. IMPACT ® also incorporates an “on-line” Law File for Penal Law and Vehicle/Traffic Law. This law file is also used to record local ordinances. Blotter/Event Log: This module is used to enter incident-related information directly into the RMS database. If VACD has been installed this module acts as the bridge between the dispatching function and the main records function. IMPACT Blotter provides immediate feedback if the event location has an incident history or active warrant. Event type, narrative and response data are also connected. All locations and persons entered in the Blotter/Event Log become part of common system wide geographic and persons files, and are then known to all other modules. This means that a person or address entered through an Auto Accident report, for example, is known to the Blotter/Event Log, and vice versa.

Movement from screen to screen and data block to data block is accomplished easily and quickly a click of the mouse in this module, as well as in all other data entry functions. The Blotter/Event Log can be viewed or printed within any range of date and time. The Public Blotter/Event Log feature allows the printing of the Blotter/Event Log with names and locations omitted for events designated as confidential. The Blotter/Event Log also provides the ability to indicate that a follow up report is required, e.g., auto accident, case/arrest, property/evidence, vehicle impound, etc. When these reports are entered, they refer back to the original Blotter/Event Log entry providing a complete incident report. Reports include the Blotter/Event Log Listing, Officer Activity, Location Activity, Type of Event, Blotter/Event Log Search, and Blotter/Event Log Summary by type of call, officer dispatched, post and how received. The Custom Inquiries module can also search Blotter/Event Log entries.
Case/Incident Processing: IMPACT® provides the functionality to collect data for State Incident reports as well as provide tools for case investigations and tracking histories. The Case/Incident module integrates with Arrest, Master Name, the Law Files and Blotter/Event, incorporating routines to enter data once and deploying the information to the various “forms” throughout the system. Some of the reports included are: UCR/IBR Incident Report Crime Reports Property/Evidence
Citations: This module processes citations and traffic/parking tickets. Interfaces include Blotter/Event, Master Name and the Law File. If AMO is being implemented there is an option (IMT) to process citations from the field.
Criminal Intelligence Module: This routine provides a process to record information on events, places, persons and vehicles that are not necessarily involved with an incident, but may be deemed as possibly valuable to note. This information could be useful for investigations for other incidents. Diary/Police Info: Collects information on special conditions of which department members should be aware and generates a listing on the day of the tour for use by the supervisor on duty. The user making the diary entry specifies the date range, the tours and days of the week that the entry should appear. This module simplifies planning in advance for parades, special events, deployment of extra personnel, etc. Field Interviews: This routine provides a process to record information on persons and vehicles that are not necessarily involved with an incident, but may have been interviewed by an officer in the field. This information could be useful for investigations for other incidents.
Juveniles: IMPACT® provides a completely separate area for the processing of Juvenile “arrest/case” information. Supported functions include independent security clearance, sealing/unsealing of records and omission from all general reports generated by personal not having appropriate security clearance. Integration includes Blotter/Event, Master Name, Evidence and Law Files.
Master Name: Maintains a complete record of interactions between the Department and persons entered from the Blotter/Event Log, Case/Arrest, Aided Cases, Auto Accidents, Tickets, Warrants, etc. Using part of a name, the user can reference a person's history. This module can also be used for entering existing name card files into the system. A special section for juveniles is maintained and protected by added security so that only authorized personnel can gain access. Master Vehicle: Maintains a complete record of interactions between the Department and vehicles entered from the Blotter/Event Log, Case/Arrest, Aided Cases, Auto Accidents, Tickets, Warrants, etc. Using part of a Plate # or VIN the user can reference a vehicle's history. Property: Collects information on evidence and stolen, recovered, lost, found and impounded property. Names and addresses of owner and recovering person are maintained as well as detailed item description and status. Property files may be scanned by a variety of criteria for locating an individual item, and a Property List provides a report on property by status, type or role. This module supports an optional Bar Code Reader/Printer function. Resident/Business/Alarm/Vacant House: Collects and stores data on addresses and special information related to locations including alarm data and those indicated that the building or home will be unoccupied for a period of time. The system produces a report listing vacant houses by post and as flagged in dispatch. Roll Call: Provides for the entry of schedule information for each department member and permits entry of vacation, training and days off. The system combines schedule and time off information to produce the Daily Roll Call. This may then be updated on the day of the tour for any last minute excuse, sick leave or other changes. Reports provide schedules by member, by day, by tour, or for the entire department. Traffic Accidents: IMPACT® provides the tools to complete and generate State Accident Reports. As with other modules, the Traffic Accident module interfaces with Master Name, Blotter/Event and the System Manager files. Vehicle Impounds: Provides the facility for the entry and retrieval of information on impounded vehicles. The system generates a letter advising the owner of the vehicle of its status, and produces a release notice. The system generated the Vehicle Impound Report that provides a listing of all the vehicle impounds in a selected date range.Warrants: Provides the facility for collecting and retrieving data relating to warrants. Warrants are fully integrated with the Blotter/Event Log -- when the name of a person with a warrant is entered in the Blotter/Event Log, the system immediately displays a warning. The Warrant Report provides a listing of warrants by name or number. Also, a warrant notification letter may be printed. Alarm Tracking: Allows for the record of alarm registration of residences and businesses, alarm companies and installers. This module is interfaced to the Blotter/Event module making the tracking of alarm activity easy to accomplish. This data can be utilized with our optional Alarm Billing module. Modules included with all systems:
Departmental Orders: This module allows the entry, printing and look-up/display of Departmental Orders and other related procedures. Alternative Resources/Rolodex: This is a simple routine to store names, phone/fax numbers, e-mail addresses, etc. Data can be easily accessed in a pop-up window with the use of a function key. E-Mail: This is an “internal” e-mail feature to send/receive mail from various department members. This routine supports “return receipt” for accountability. This routine is also available to mobile users. Personnel: Records data related to Personnel. Supports the tracking of training and certification requirements, promotions, issued equipment and special assignments. Custom Inquiries: Provides a powerful facility for ad hoc searches of the database. Department personnel using one or more “search variables” may define searches. Once the search is complete, the information may then be sorted and displayed or printed. Security Manager: Authorized department personnel will use this sophisticated facility for controlling access to the various functions of the system. It permits the system manager to define a unique set of functions for each user. The functions that are not authorized for a user cannot be accessed and do not appear on the screen of the terminal that user is logged on. Also, this module permits the system manager to view or change any of the security passwords in the system.
