Branford Police Department Implements ISYS Search Software for Investigative Information and Internal Documentation Retrieval
ISYS Search Software ( www.isys-search.com ), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced that the Branford Police Department has selected ISYS:desktop to supply its investigators and staff with advanced search functionality across its investigative databases, document repositories and desktops.
Based in Branford, Conn., the Branford Police Department initially implemented ISYS:desktop to enable rapid retrieval of documentation required for the Department’s accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The Department’s staff found that ISYS:desktop provided the precise functionality they needed to quickly and easily locate documentation that supported its compliance with CALEA standards.
“Given that our records management system didn’t offer the level of sophistication we required for this particular project, we looked to the market to find a search engine that could do the job,” said Sgt. Kevin Halloran, Branford Police Department. “ISYS:desktop provided us with exactly what we needed from a menu-driven search engine, and gave us the flexibility to use Boolean searches as needed.”
Branford’s criminal intelligence experts soon discovered the investigative power of ISYS:desktop. Aside from the ability to conduct Boolean and proximity searches, ISYS:desktop also enables Branford’s investigators to simultaneously search across multiple repositories, including its databases and case documents. Sgt. Halloran states that ISYS has helped the Department save a significant amount of time locating and acting on internal information.
