This department can.
The forged checks were drawn on a local bank, but officers didn't recognize the name on the affidavits. So they ran it on Street Smart and, a few seconds later, up came an outstanding warrant from Illinois. Turns out, the forger had been living in Jackson Parish for several years. Soon, he was living in a cell. Using his photo and identifiers - obtained with Street Smart - officers arrested him, right across the street from the local courthouse.
"I like using it - the instantaneousness, being able to run a person by name, being able to see a picture, being able to see a criminal history, and get everything on one screen. I don't even have to navigate to other screens! Before we had Street Smart, we never had data to look at. We'd have to get everything from the dispatchers via radio. The dispatchers like it, too - especially the instant messaging capability."
