Future Enhancements

Not only

• Productivity improvements via HOLMES 2

But also help key challenges in force

• Data sharing and consistency

• Intelligence

• Single points of entry


Technology Saving Time

What if you could

• Export your search results to analysis tools

• Query once and be notified of any results matching your search for the life of your investigation

• Search across Casualty Bureau AND Incident Room

• Retrieve matches from every incident in your system


Data Sharing

Common data standards for Force applications

• HOLMES 2 can export data from IDOL in the police standard format

• PITO CorDM or “CRISP” schema

• Allows different applications to share and utilise the information held within HOLMES 2


Intelligence

National HOLMES 2 search facility

• Single repository collates data from all Forces

• Business rules applied before data transfer

• Simple interface based on Casweb/HVM solution

• Allows secure querying of all data sent to the central repository

ForceA

ForceB

ForceC


Access to disparate data sources through a single interfaceIntelligence

• Retrieve information from multiple sources through IDOL

• Search many repositories with one query in a single view

• Make better use of the data stored on Force systems

• Use IDOL pattern matching to cluster results in logical groups


Version 11 framework allows

Interfacing Does Not Stop With Data Exporting

• Exhibits packages to securely send data to HOLMES 2 and store in exhibits index. This reduces re-keying of information saving time

• Documents can also be securely imported

• Other systems can be catered for to utilise the framework to populate HOLMES 2
