Beat Notes and crime pattern benchmarking fold into this full-featured multi-user input management tool with the capacity to track, collate, weight, distribute, and generate reports from from field observations that are traceable to a point of origin.  Observations from multiple sources (officers, other city employees, citizens) about multiple targets (locations, persons, vehicles) are scored on departmentally defined dimensions and scales.  Measurement parameters are available for weighting input sources, items, and item subsets.  A patented algorithm rolls up metrics to locations, squads, jurisdictions or the whole community for crime mapping and community policing problem-solving.  This is the software of choice for aligning community policing efforts through immediate accurate and specifically useful information about the the right target from the right source.  Generate synergy between patrol activities, community watch, and community problem solving through easy entry of researchable observations.
