Where can we go from here?
Future Enhancements
Not only
• Productivity improvements via HOLMES 2
But also help key challenges in force
• Data sharing and consistency
• Intelligence
• Single points of entry
09/10/2006IDOL Seminar October 2006 Page 43
Technology Saving Time
What if you could
• Export your search results to analysis tools
• Query once and be notified of any results matching your search for the life of your investigation
• Search across Casualty Bureau AND Incident Room
• Retrieve matches from every incident in your system
09/10/2006IDOL Seminar October 2006 Page 44
Data Sharing
Common data standards for Force applications
• HOLMES 2 can export data from IDOL in the police standard format
• PITO CorDM or “CRISP” schema
• Allows different applications to share and utilise the information held within HOLMES 2
09/10/2006IDOL Seminar October 2006 Page 45
Intelligence
National HOLMES 2 search facility
• Single repository collates data from all Forces
• Business rules applied before data transfer
• Simple interface based on Casweb/HVM solution
• Allows secure querying of all data sent to the central repository
ForceA
ForceB
ForceC
09/10/2006IDOL Seminar October 2006 Page 46
Access to disparate data sources through a single interfaceIntelligence
• Retrieve information from multiple sources through IDOL
• Search many repositories with one query in a single view
• Make better use of the data stored on Force systems
• Use IDOL pattern matching to cluster results in logical groups
09/10/2006IDOL Seminar October 2006 Page 48
Version 11 framework allows
Interfacing Does Not Stop With Data Exporting
• Exhibits packages to securely send data to HOLMES 2 and store in exhibits index. This reduces re-keying of information saving time
• Documents can also be securely imported
• Other systems can be catered for to utilise the framework to populate HOLMES 2
