More women in police departments demonstrably improve outcomes, but today, women make up only 12% of sworn officers and 3% of police leadership in the U.S. The Women Leaders in Law Enforcement Training Symposium, hosted by California Police Chiefs Association, is an avenue to help the law enforcement community grow the number of women across all positions within departments, and we’re honored to attend. If you see Natalie Blundell, Paige Burley, Marcy Cox, and Susan Manheimer at table #C5, say hey. And be sure to check out our friend Kyle Baker on Thursday, September 5 at 2:45 pm PT talk about leading teams in the 21st century.

Per Forbes, Peregrine’s “slow and methodical approach has paid dividends: The company, based in San Francisco, has contracts with 57 agencies across the U.S., including the Atlanta Police Department and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Cali­fornia. Between 2022 and 2023, revenue tripled.” Dive into why Forbes named Peregrine to its 2024 Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. https://hubs.ly/Q02L7cQ30

Here are four questions you ask before transitioning CAD or RMS systems, from Eric Wood: 1) What is the data transition plan for disconnected systems? CAD and RMS systems are filled data objects, like people, places, and things, which each have a collection of attributes. For example, a car is an object with make, model, year, color, and more. How one system defines “car” is different than how another might do it. Before you pick a vendor, make sure you know how they’ll transition data from one system to another when each system has a different data structure. 2) What is the scope of the data transition, and what are the associated costs? Moving data from one system to another may come with hefty fees. It’s vital to know what your data stack will look like before you purchase a piece of technology – and that includes where your data will live. 3) What does the de-duplication process look like? Here’s a common scenario we often see: an investigator searches for a person and sees 40 records. It’s hard for them to know which record will have the data they need, so they have to open all of them to be sure. De-duplicating records across systems is mission-critical. Be sure to ask vendors how many entities they can merge for de-duplication at one time. We also recommend asking them how long it will take them to fully de-duplicate your CAD or RMS data sets. 4) How will your solution handle legacy system integration? Beware of tech debt. Most police departments we talk to opt not to pay prohibitively expensive fees to vendors for data migration from one CAD or RMS to another. That means, even when new data isn’t being added to a legacy system, the legacy system remains in use. In practice, department personnel will have to work across two or more systems to find the information they need. In solving one problem – upgrading legacy technology – police departments can create another in the form of disparate systems personnel have to wrangle.

Imagine you bought a new computer program, and it took months to download and use. That’s what police departments deal with when they buy new tools. A multi-month deployment is common. We’re changing that, delivering value in days, and full enterprise deployment in 90 days (or less!) Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Mission discovery: We identify your most significant challenges, define success, and then integrate, enrich, and organize your data. 2️⃣ Platform configuration: We work hand-in-hand with your team to configure the platform to meet your agency's unique needs and challenges. 3️⃣ User training: We teach users how to solve high-priority problems using Peregrine through a tailored training program. 4️⃣ Ongoing support: We provide ongoing support and start assessing our progress based on the goals set during Mission Discovery. Captain Reynolds of the Livermore, California Police Department told us “data integration was smooth, and Peregrine’s implementation team has been incredible. They’ve been responsive to our staff and the needs of our agency. Even post-integration, their support has never dropped off.”
