Caliber Community Reporting,

Our response to COVID-19

Caliber Public Safety is proud to introduce a new product feature to support Community Self-Reporting on Online RMS 11.3.1. Caliber Community Reporting leverages the power of customizable forms within our Online RMS, giving agencies a secure, web-hosted point of contact that they can make available to the public.

Caliber Community Reporting will help agencies:

  • Promote social distancing by reducing officer-to-public interactions for minor police reports.
  • Keep officers on patrol and protecting communities by offering an alternate method for the public to report minor police reports without the need to dispatch an officer.
  • Offer a non-threatening stress-free method to the public to file non-emergency police reports.
Caliber Community Reporting allows agencies to create and customize their own public forms, making them more effective as they are tailored to their unique set of needs and requirements. Agencies can make these forms available to the public via the agency’s own website.

Public forms support the following custom form field types:

  • Date
  • Text – Single Line
  • Text – Multiple Lines
  • Checkbox
  • Radio Buttons
  • Auto Complete
Caliber Community Reporting will be available as a complementary enhancement to all Caliber Online RMS Plus subscribers beginning May 19th through the end of 2020.
Contact us today to add Caliber Community Reporting to your Online RMS.

WebCAD 3.0 now includes Call Entry and Dynamic Map Layers. Available to existing CAD NG 10.7+ customer at no additional charge through 2020.

In response to COVID-19 we have enhanced our WebCAD product to allow for browser-based call entry and integration of publicly available ESRI map data such as hospital availability and COVID-19 cases.  With these enhancements our customers are able to supplement their 911 Responders with assistance from others remotely outside of their PSAP via a web browser and better track the impact of COVID-19.

Our customers are our priority.  Our CADNG customers provide 911 dispatch services to serve a population base of more than 50 million citizens across 40 states.  This product is available immediately to CADNG v10.7+ users, free of charge through the end of 2020.  Setup time is estimated at less than 1 hour per customer.

Please contact us today to have this functionality configured.
