"My TraCS"
I became
an active member in 2002. Included in my duties as the
Police Records Supervisor are the RMS system administrator
and liaison with City ITT for our Department. I am charged
with evaluating, recommending, and implementing any
new technology initiatives, systems, software, etc.
Santa
Fe Police Department was selected to participate in
a review of New Mexico traffic records. During this
process I became aware of how vital a state traffic
records system is, not only to the law enforcement community,
but to all other traffic records stake holders, and
ultimately to the public, and to the important roll
the law enforcement community holds.
Our participation
in this project has been a challenging and very rewarding
experience for me and our agency. We were one of the
six pilot agencies selected to test the TraCS software.
The pilot agencies were at various stages of implementing
an in-car computer system, but our agency had been unsuccessful
in obtaining all of the funding required to do so. However,
with the funding provided through this pilot project
we were able to develop our wireless infrastructure,
and equip six vehicles with in-car computer system.
We were
able to document the process of preparing an agency
for participating in a state-wide traffic records system
from having no in-car computer system, to full implementation
of the software.
We look
forward to being one of the lead agencies in the state
wide implementation of TraCS, and the State Wide Traffic
Records Office.
