Software assigns citation numbers
A new feature of Motorola’s Premier MDC reporting can enhance accuracy by reducing the need for officers to manually enter numbers issued through dispatch or other conventional methods. Now when an officer writes a citation, a state-issued citation number will be automatically and wirelessly assigned to that citation so it can be tracked. Once the citation is completed, reported details can be shared quickly through wireless transmission to headquarters for routing, approval and notification. The citation numbers are stored on the server. Officers fill out the citation on their laptops, and when the citation is completed the number is automatically generated and included on the report. The software also provides customized administrative tools for generating citation reports.

Loop test system isolates problems
The 51950 system from Proctor and Associates is a dedicated test system that allows a single technician to quickly identify leased or private line problems without the need for any specialized equipment or additional help. It verifies transmission levels through two-wire or four-wire circuits and reports the results to the operations technician. The technician analyzes the results, isolates the problem span and dispatches the appropriate repair workers directly to the trouble site. Through its remote operation, the technician can conduct testing from any off-site location. The system can also detect and report alarm conditions at the remote transmission site via remote alarm connections. The system monitors the remote site and automatically reports back to the operations center, alerting security of any detected security breaches, fires or backup power switch-overs. Security can also dial the system at any time to determine the site’s status.
