Police Department uses real-time data insights
to enhance information flow between officers and decision
makers
AUSTIN,
Texas, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Round
Rock Independent School District Police Department is using
Oracle's Public Safety Suite to improve information access and
communications across the 55 school campuses and over 47,000
students it supports. Previously, the department relied on
contracted county dispatch services that did not meet its needs for
real-time communication across the 110-square mile school district.
With Oracle's modern suite of purpose-built public safety hardware
and software, the department now has the tools it needs to support
its goal of creating a safe and equitable environment where the
students have the greatest opportunity to reach their full
potential.
As a new district-dedicated agency, the department wanted
to completely rethink its approach to technology to create a more
agile, responsive system that would support better data access and
action by creating a seamless flow of information between
dispatchers, officers, and decision makers. After a comprehensive
review of options, Oracle was selected for providing a
comprehensive suite of hardware and software that could meet these
objectives.
"Oracle is leading the way with new technologies and
capabilities in an industry that has been stagnant in its
innovation and processes for far too long," said Dennis Weiner, chief of police, Round Rock
Independent School District Police Department. "We found the Oracle
Public Safety technology suite to be the most robust solution for
school safety and for law enforcement efficiency and effectiveness.
As an early adopter, we have had the opportunity to work closely
with Oracle to provide feedback that will not only benefit us, but
other departments. This suite is a paradigm shift in how
information flows more effectively through police departments when
every second counts."
Seamless communications with unified
applications
Round Rock Independent School District
Police Department went live with Oracle Public Safety Suite in
September. Using the suite's connected applications
including Dispatch Command Center, Personal
Communication System, Vehicle Communication
System, and Records Management System, officers
are now able to move seamlessly between locations and devices, such
as going from a mobile phone to a tablet in the squad car, while
continuing to send and receive information without disruption. The
communications systems activate upon dispatch and record relevant
data and interactions between the peace officers, students, and
staff to support transparency, trust, and accountability. All this
information is then automatically pulled into a case report which
officers can review and update – saving them hours of
paperwork daily and enabling them to spend more time out in the
field. And as the system consolidates, analyzes, and organizes data
on a single secure platform, the suite enables the department to
provide a higher level of responsiveness and transparency in
addressing community concerns through a constant and coordinated
flow of information.
The suite also aids in the department's ability to connect to
the State of Texas' National
Incident Reporting System and ultimately to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) to submit crime incident reports, as
needed.
"Oracle is on a mission to make work safer and more efficient
for first responders and those they care for," said Steve Seoane, general manager, Oracle Public
Safety. "There is no time to waste in responding to critical school
incidents. Our collaboration with Round Rock Independent School
District Police Department has allowed us to tailor our technology
to address not only their needs, but the requirements of law
enforcement agencies across a variety of disciplines."
