The PC/LAN Technician is responsible for the installation, support and maintenance of all computers, servers and related computerized equipment of the department. In 1997 a new computer network was included with the new building construction. The department has since grown from a simple pc network to one with multiple server platforms to keep up with increasing law enforcement technology.
Examples of some of the new technologies include:
 |
Windows NT Server |
|
AS/400 for Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management |
|
Unix based LS-2000 system for Digital Fingerprinting |
|
Patrol Car mobile computers allow officers to run persons and vehicles for wanted and Motor Vehicle information checks, as well as completing crime reports without having to return to the station. |
|
Unix based RS/6000 Message Switch for communications between Dispatch and Patrol vehicle laptops (Silent Dispatch) |
|
Document Imaging System for Digital Archiving of reports |
