Police officers can spend hours sorting through different systems hunting for information about forensic exhibits, logging incident reports or checking someone’s criminal history.
But a new partnership with an American technology company will propel the decades-old systems into the 21st century, making it faster, simpler and safer for officers responding to emergencies and investigating crimes.
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller signed a partnership with US-based public safety software provider Mark43 on Monday to roll out the system.
The cloud-based program, known as the Integrated Policing Operating System (IPOS), will replace the force’s 27-year-old central database and will be used for everyday operations including triple zero calls, arrests and charges, criminal investigations and forensics.
