Riverside County Contracts with Tiburon for an Upgrade to its $1.8 Million Records Management System

  
    
  
  
    
      CompuDyne Corporation (NASDAQ:CDCY), an industry leader in sophisticated 
      security products, integration, and technology for the public security 
      markets, announced today that the county of Riverside, California signed 
      a $1.8 million contract with CompuDyne’s 
      public safety and justice unit, Tiburon, Inc. of Pleasanton, CA, to 
      provide a comprehensive upgrade to the Sheriff’s 
      Department Records Management System (RMS). Tiburon is an 
      industry-leading provider of automated public safety and justice systems 
      to meet the demanding and complex needs of law enforcement, fire and 
      rescue, corrections, and justice environments.
    
    
      The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, a 
      client since 1996, contracted with Tiburon to provide an upgrade to 
      their existing Tiburon RMS. The County wanted to take advantage of the 
      new hardware technology and enhanced software functionality provided by 
      this comprehensive upgrade.
    
    
      The Sheriff’s Department operates 11 main 
      stations and other store front facilities that serve the unincorporated 
      areas of the county and 13 contract cities. The new RMS will consolidate 
      and automate records processing and criminal investigations for the 
      county. Law enforcement personnel will be able to use this database to 
      store information related to arrests, citations, contacts, incidents, 
      pawned property and more. Additionally, with an interface to the county 
      jail system, booking information will be automatically transferred to 
      the new RMS providing timely, and more accurate, information to county 
      law enforcement personnel.
    
    
      The new system will also include automated report writing capability for 
      officers in the field. Officers will be able to enter data directly into 
      selected electronic forms that replicate the County’s 
      existing forms, which minimizes training time and increases the speed 
      and accuracy of incident reporting.
    
    
      Work has begun on this important project for the county.
