Global Software's 'Master Records Inspector' Selected as Innovative Hot Product at APCO's 74th Annual ConferenceThe staff of Public Safety Communications magazine and the Editorial Advisory Committee selected the 25 most innovative products during the 74th Annual APCO Conference and Exposition recently held in Kansas City. Global Software's 'Master Records Inspector' was one of the Hot Products selected for 2008. Master Records Inspector (MRI) helps eliminate record duplications and provide positive identification in a shorter time. MRI uses a mix of character search routines to identify possible duplication of names and addresses. Similar functionality is provided for locations.

Local Police Share Secure Wireless Network in WisconsinThe cities of Middleton, Fitchburg and Sun Prairie have similar-sized populations, are almost equidistant and are on the outskirts of Wisconsin's capital city, Madison. They also share some things that are far less obvious: an encrypted wireless network that links their police departments, a bundle of high-tech software and the joint commission responsible for it all.

3 Cities Collaborate on Data SecurityIn 2002, the Wisconsin cities of Fitchburg, Middletown and Sun Prairie decided to create a consolidated, shared computer network for their police departments. The intent was to replace legacy equipment and systems with consolidated, state-of-the-art law-enforcement technology to save costs, benefit from collaboration and provide the most efficient systems and services in order for the police officers in each community to more effectively serve the public. While the project has evolved far past its original goals, the overall success can be considered an example of how individual cities can come together to meet the needs and challenges of expanding technology resources and requirements.
