In
2000, the Tesuque Tribal Police began building their
offices. The design included security and technology
that would require the most advanced resources available
for the officers in the field. In 2002, with the offices
complete, the Tribal
Police department contracted with a local company, IS
Solutions, LLC (now, Grants
& Technology Veterans ) to design, construct
and implement the solutions required by the Tribal Police.
GTV created a technology infrastructure that included
IP Telephony phone systems, Servers connected to the
Department of Public Safety (DPS) and wireless Communications
from patrol vehicles to DPS for rapid response on queries.
This Process Included:
- Software (Access Data Sleuth) CAD and Records Management
system
- ITRONIX ruggedized Notebook computers mounted in
the vehicles
- Wireless connectivity (Verizon Air Cards) to DPS
- Encryption technology (Radio IP®) for secure
communications and CJIS Compliance
- Two-Factor Authentication (ActivCard®) for officer
security and CJIS Compliance
- GlobalStar Satellite Communication for second mode
of communications when outside the CDMA areas.
By January 2005, the implementation was complete and
the Tesuque Tribal Police Department became the first
police department in New Mexico to receive a compliance
letter from DPS stating that they met all the requirements
specified by the DPS and Criminal Justice Information
System (CJIS) 2004 regulations.
“Our officers and staff now have up-to-the-minute
information regarding any criminal activity that passes
through our jurisdiction. The vision of our Police Force
and hard work and efforts of many, including GTV, made
this dream our reality
and I’m very proud of their support and efforts,”
says Frenier.
Grants
& Technology Veterans has succeeded in implementing
technologies that meet and exceed the current 2004 CJIS
regulations for wireless communications. Through strategic
partnerships, GTV has provide a one-stop shop for police
and other public safety departments that encompasses
all aspects of hardware, software and communications
capabilities to allow them to obtain total compliance
with DPS, CJIS and FBI mobile communications regulations.
TRACS
The TraCS statewide rollout project is a multi-phase
project providing law enforcement agencies throughout
the state with the opportunity to use TraCS for electronically
creating, printing, and transmitting traffic records
data from law enforcement officers in their patrol cars
to their local agency systems to a statewide repository.
For the current equipment being used in the field, see
the New Mexico TraCS equipment and configuration guidelines.
In Phase I, a TraCS statewide training and support organization
(i.e. TraCS Project Office) will be established and
implemented to train, equip and rollout approximately
450 officers with TraCS and New Mexico Law Enforcement
Agency forms. The law enforcement agencies that make
up Phase I include those that participated in the pilot
project, those that are part of the enhanced DWI Law
Enforcement program, and the Tesuque Tribal Police Department:
Albuquerque Police Department
Doña Ana Sheriff's Department
NM Department of Public Safety, Motor Transportation
Division
