Project Management Plan for COMPUTER Aided Dispatching System

1.0 Project Overview

1.1Executive Summary- rationale for the Project

The New Mexico Department of Public Safety proposes the replacement of the existing Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system.

CAD is one of the core systems DPS provides to the State Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). CAD is the system used to dispatch 911 calls out to the officers, map the call location in the dispatch center, provide Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) for officers in the field, and provide National Crime Information Center (NCIC) access within the application. CAD is essential in providing rapid response from LEAs to crime/incident scenes.

The current CAD has been in place for over 10 years, and is at end of life (vendor support soon to be discontinued), and DPS is unable to take advantages of newer technology, such as the latest map generation methods.

One of the primary missions of DPS is to support LEAs throughout the State of New Mexico in protecting their citizens. DPS fulfills this mission through a variety of means, one of which is to provide data, systems and networks that allow criminal justice agencies to access information in a timely fashion that is useful for decision making. The DPS CAD system is currently used by law enforcement agencies in Sierra, Valencia and Luna Counties. The cost to move these agencies to the new DPS CAD system will be included in our planning.

DPS currently operates without an integrated RMS. Separate, non-enterprise record systems are utilized for different disciplines within DPS to create and store records. These disparate systems require an officer to utilize several applications to retrieve the necessary data to support their activities. DPS is decades behind most other law enforcement agencies in the country in the deployment of a comprehensive records management technology.

Implementation of an integrated, effective RMS will assist DPS maintenance of data records through the entire life-cycle. This includes classifying, storing, securing, and destruction (or in some cases, archival preservation) of records which are key to DPS’s mission. This is necessary to improve the efficiency of processing information and people. An integrated RMS will provide Law Enforcement personnel one-stop access to the agency’s data records.

DPS currently operates without an integrated RMS. Implementation of an integrated RMS system will be a separate project.

Current status of this project will be reported to DPS executive management on a monthly basis or as requested. Weekly status report to project team and a project status report on a monthly basis to DoIT. A project web site will be created with project status and information accessible to governance and project teams.

Signatures from the Executive Sponsors are required for some project documents.
