Visual Alert  Records Management Police Software

Visual Alert empowers officers with
information and investigative tools

Enter and retrieve information with ease

Visual Alert® Records Management software enables law enforcement personnel to spend more time doing the job because they spend less time writing reports. And yet, all of their reports are more precise, more complete, and more easily cross-referenced with other information.

Report writing is made easier for the officer because Visual Alert uses information already in your database to assist you in writing new reports. Record a person, vehicle, location or other data one time only and the next time a report is filled out, Visual Alert® automatically supplies all of the relevant historical information. Each new entry updates the Visual Alert® database in real time, providing instant on-line access to all incident information.

A query function makes retrieving files quick and easy. Need to prepare a report to meet state or local reporting requirements? Visual Alert® pulls all the necessary information right from your cases and prepares the report for you. Need a custom report? Use that same simple query function to search for and select the specific data you want to include.

The job is hard enough. The paperwork should be easy. And with Visual Alert® Records Management software, it is.

Boost investigative efforts with this powerful tool

Every piece of information stored in the Visual Alert® database is dynamically linked to every other piece. By linking information, Metro's Records Management software doubles as a powerful investigative tool that can help officers to “connect the dots” between seemingly unrelated pieces of data — and use this data to prepare mandated reports that meet state and local requirements.

Public safety personnel can tap this capability 24/7 from anywhere on the network. All that’s needed is the same query function used routinely to search for and retrieve information. The search capability of Visual Alert® is unmatched in its capacity to support complex searches that mine the database for hidden connections and reveal them instantly.

Search for anything — persons, places, things, businesses, vehicles, property, arrests, warrants, scanned images, digital photos, interviews, even words in a report. Adjust the search criteria easily as you home in on the connections that move your investigation forward or take it in a new direction.

Investigations are never easy, but choosing the right tools can help. Visual Alert® Records Management software is the intelligent choice.
