Gainesville police make transition to digital records
1218digital3
Gainesville Police Department’s new digital software has automatic entry of information into reports, known as auto-population. From swiping a driver’s license or running a vehicle tag number, databases will quicken the process when officers file reports from their vehicles.
At the Gainesville Police Department, some of the new school is showing a thing or two to the old school. With the transition to the digital records management system on Dec. 9, city police trained for months on the new methods compared to old-fashioned penmanship. “The majority of the officers were able to hit the ground running,” said spokesman Cpl. Kevin Holbrook.
