• Automated Police Reporting System (APRS) & APRS Lite (for mobile data terminals): APRSstarted in 2006 as a project to allow officers to generate police reports electronically. APRS Liteexpanded this capability to mobile data terminals so that officers could generate electronicreports from the field. Advantages realized from APRS/APRS Lite:o Auto-population of data fields to multiple related reports saving the officer time andincreasing report accuracy.o Data is accessed by other systems that rely upon these reports reducing the time that hadbeen used for manual entry of this data. By electronically pulling the data from APRS, italso reduces the chance of human error via manual entry.o Allows for access by police officers to other law enforcement systems such as thePennsylvania State Crash Report System and the Pennsylvania Pursuit Form.o Electronic citations (E-Citation) has been incorporated allowing officers to generate bothtraffic and non-traffic citations electronically in the field.• Mobile Data Terminals: MDTs have been deployed to 95% of the front line vehicles: Havingeach vehicle equipped with a mobile data terminal allows:o Officers to file police reports directly from the vehicles.o Supervisors can review and approve the reports as officers complete them.o Supervisors have access to status screen with computer aided dispatch information toview pending calls for service.o Supervisors can monitor the officer’s performance and time spent on calls and/or reportsto ensure appropriate use of time.o Officers/Supervisors have access to a number of applications to perform a query forinvestigative purposes. NCIC / CLEAN / JNET (with Smart Card)o Officers can complete their arrest paperwork, as mandated by the courts, via the MDTthrough the internet accessing the Allegheny County Standardized Arrest Program.35
