POLICE AUTHORITIES
For police work, rola offers the rsCASE® variant of rsFrame® for criminal case processing and the rsEvid® variant for management of evidence and court exhibits, in addition the rsExTract® variant for the analysis of mass data. These solutions can be used either individually or together. The basic principle of single data entry is also maintained when the applications are used together: The systems are seamlessly coupled.
rsCASE® – for police case processing
Collection and evaluation of a wide range of structured and unstructured information from heterogeneous sources, alignment of information with existing knowledge, and identification of relationships – these are the challenges faced daily in case processing by police investigators, whether it be international drug trafficking, smuggling of illegal immigrants or the combating of terrorism. rsCASE® provides comprehensive retrieval and analysis functions for case processing:
- PIA (Personal Information Assistant): An individually configurable start screen – the “cockpit” for day-to-day work
- ChartEdit: Graphical data entry via Drag & Drop
- Automated recognition of duplicate entries with automatic user notification
- Numerous special retrieval functions such as the structure, path, pattern and similarity searches and the intelligent synetic name search
- Full-text searching in all information in the database, incl. document contents
- Searches for persons using biometric data
- Visualisation in charts and diagrams
- Entity extraction for the processing of unstructured texts
- Geographical analyses
- Data mining and statistics
- Agent technology for automatic searches in newly received information with active notification
Additional modules offer expert functions for the work of the police specialists:
- “Soko” for special task forces and clue-intensive investigations
- “TKÜ” for lawful interception measures
