21st Century Communication and Collaboration For 21st Century Law Enforcement Agencies
Law enforcement agency personnel understand the unique challenges of running traditional in-person shift briefings. Individual workload, pending calls for an oncoming shift, and administrative duties such as training and court appearances often prevent members of the squad from attending briefing. In a typical work week, you would be incredibly lucky to have even a single briefing where every member of the squad was actually present.
This doesn’t mean that shift briefings are any less important. Far from it: a quality, proactive agency depends on an open and real-time stream of communication to get things done and to achieve better, more effective outcomes. For the continued success of law enforcement agencies around the country, along with the safety and security of communities they serve, we must apply the most current technology to community policing and problem oriented policing models.
Luckily, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, the CJIS compliant solution is here.
Introducing: SmartForce™ Shift Briefing
At Adventos, we recognize the logistical challenges our agency partners face in terms of sharing information with one another while getting everyone on the same page. With this in mind, SmartForce™ Shift Briefing was born – a single sophisticated yet easy-to-use digital workspace built with information sharing, collaboration and assigning projects and tasks at its core.
With SmartForce™ Shift Briefing, a patrol officer has instant access to ALL the information they need to effectively serve their community – whether they’ve been able to attend an actual in-person shift briefing or they’re halfway across town waiting for their court appearance to start.
All mission-critical information is easily updated in the SmartForce™ Shift Briefing tool where it can be accessed from ANY desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone device with an active Internet connection, allowing Officers to consume mission critical information needed to do their job in the safest and most effective manner.
Department leaders can choose between sharing data agency-wide, or on the district or shift levels. Whatever is the best decision to be made given the circumstances is now one that can be made as quickly and as easily as possible.
SmartForce™ Shift Briefing isn’t just an innovative solution to the logistical challenge created by traditional, in-person shift briefings. It’s also an easy-to-use tool built with form and functionality in mind. In the end, we wanted to help empower law enforcement agencies with a tool that brings them closer – both literally and metaphorically – to the communities they serve through effective, efficient communication and collaboration.
The days of trying to get all officers in the same room at the same time to share essential findings and other information are long over. If something happens, you’re never more than a few seconds away from pushing those events out to EVERYONE who needs to know – whether they’re at the station or in the field doesn’t actually matter.
