Kinetic Solutions, LLC Helps St. Louis Metro Police Department Map Parolees and Probationers
|
St. Louis, MO (March 24, 2003) Kinetic Solutions has been awarded
a contract to develop and implement a web-based Geographic Information
System (GIS) for mapping the location of parolees and probationers
in the city of St. Louis and surrounding bi-state area.
Kinetic Solutions' will develop custom applications to translate
and consolidate parolee and probationer data held by several law
enforcement agencies for use by the system. The Parolee and
Probationer Mapping System (PPMS) will be one of the first such
data sharing exercises between multiple law enforcement jurisdictions
and government departments in the region.
In addition to map-based location information, the system will provide
a snapshot of each individual's record and terms of release.
The system will serve as an investigative tool to support the
resolution of new crimes and provide parole officers with
information and tools for case management. Funding for the
project comes from a Department of Justice COPS Grant.
The Parolee and Probationer Mapping System will be an extension
to the St. Louis SafeCity™ publicly accessible crime analysis
website at
http://64.218.68.50/stlouis/newslmpd.
However, the PPMS will only be accessible to law enforcement and
corrections personnel. Both systems are based upon Environmental
Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ArcIMS software and custom
data integration applications.
"After receiving several hundred thousand hits on SafeCity's™
first day, SLMPD knew it was on to a good thing. Kinetic Solutions
is pleased to help the department capitalize on that success
through the Parolee and Probationer Mapping System," says David
Hosking, Kinetic Solutions' President and CEO.
