Description: Brooksource is currently interviewing 75906 - Project Manager - Minneapolis, MN right now, this vacancy will be placed in Minnesota. Further informations about this vacancy opportunity please give attention to these descriptions. Position: Project Manager
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Duration: 8 month contract
Start Date: 04/! 22/13
Hours: 40 hrs per week, M-F, 8am to 5pm
Client is in a need of a PM that has Public Safety and Police Experience.
Upgrade will be on a .Net platform.
Problem:
Our current records management system (CAPRS) is written in an architecture that is out of support. Changes to the operating system by others could negatively impact the functionality of CAPRS and possibly render it unusable.
Business Objective:
Our goal is to migrate to a new RMS that will allow future software updating and expanded functionality and access to the RMS for all users. We are required to have an RMS by federal law and it must meet their requirements for crime reporting. This project would involve all computer assets of the police department (desktops, laptops, MDC's and Toughbooks) and every employee. Additionally 911, the City Attorneys office and other city departments have access/users.
Measurable Benefits:
The ability to continue lawfully required reporting. Exp! anded access to RMS data to other city departments as a new solution would involve a backend that is more technologically adaptable to data sharing.
Business Functions Impacted:
Over the past 20 years the Police Department and the IT Department have worked hand in hand to create a police reporting system that is innovative and intuitive. It has been solid in performance and durability, but has fallen behind with regard to interactivity with other technologies available in today’s environment. Much of the world has moved to web based solutions and the use of mobile devices that do not require full installations of software applications.
This limited ability to interact with other technologies has severely restricted the ability to add functionality and mobility. These are two areas that have exploded for most technology solutions in the past decade, but MPD’s reporting system has been stagnant as a result of the current software platform and ! the need for a full application install on each device. Currently, interfaces with CAPRS involve the use of external software applications to extract data and then transform it to compatible formats to be usable with technology that operates on newer software. This is the process used today for performing analytics and what could be automated has become labor intensive, requiring extensive data extraction before comparative analysis can occur.
Moving to a .NET platform would allow interoperability and data sharing between the police reporting system and other software applications throughout the city. A single point of entry would become the norm and thereby reduce the likelihood of mistakes occurring through repeated entries of the same data in multiple systems. Address validation would occur on the front end as opposed post entry geographic verification.
This new software platform would allow for a public interface to be implemented where citizens would have ! access to view public information and be able to enter lower level poli! ce reports without the need for human intervention. This would reduce staff time currently required to perform these duties and increase public satisfaction with prompt and efficient service.
A significant enhancement that would come with moving to a modern software platform would be the ability to easily enter and store digital data. A few examples of this type of data are photographs, audio and video recordings and scanned documents. This process would allow evidentiary data to pass through the RMS and be stored in the city content management environment and then be retrievable through the same process. This is not currently possible and it is extremely frustrating to all participants from citizens to officers and all the way through to the court system.
Background Check Requirements:
All candidate selections are contingent upon successfully passing both background and drug screening.
Background check requirements: criminal bac! kground screen
Drug Screening: 5 Panel drug screen
