Empowering patrol officers with real-time, critical information

Menifee PD, California

“With Peregrine, we can be more prepared. Seeing where individuals with outstanding felony warrants are allows us to do our jobs better, quicker, and more efficiently. Peregrine will benefit everyone in the city because we can get these people off the streets more quickly.”

  • Patrol officers need accessible, mobile-friendly information optimized for use in the field.

  • Peregrine's configurable maps enable the Menifee Police Department’s patrol officers to access data on warrants, sex offender registries, and officer-safety related information, improving decision-making.

  • Peregrine provides key information to support quicker responses while enhancing public and officer safety.

Technology built for patrol

The daily realities patrol officers face are often not considered by technology providers because most field technology is wearable hardware, like body worn cameras, and most software isn’t truly optimized for the field.

We’ve worked side by side with patrol officers and their supervisors across multiple law enforcement agencies to learn about the kind of information field officers want in the palm of their hand when responding to calls for service or making arrests.

Here's what we heard they need:

  1. Easy-to-understand information about people who’ve had felony warrants issued, to increase officer and suspect safety when those individuals are apprehended.

  2. Where registrants – people who’ve committed violent crimes or sex offenses – live.

  3. Officer safety notes associated with addresses, like if someone at an address has a history of mental illness, is connected to crimes involving firearms, or has a violent dog on the premises.

Let’s dive deeper into warrants. Patrol officers are responsible for apprehending these suspects and getting them off the streets. People with felony warrants issued are connected to serious, often violent crimes. Patrol officers need information like known addresses, picture(s), and known associates at-a-glance.

“To get warrant information, we’d have to go into a data warehouse and search for them one-by-one" explained Nicole Epps, Crime Analyst at the Menifee Police Department. “But partial searches didn’t work and there were no photos, so it took a lot of work to make the data remotely useful for patrol officers. We had similar issues with the California Sex and Arson Registrants database.”

If a tool poses challenges for an analyst at HQ, you can forget about it working on a patrol officer’s mobile device in the field. “We’d either print out packets with information about people who’ve had felony warrants issued or our patrol officers would have to call dispatch.” continued Epps.

Safer communities. Safer officers.

We know that patrol officers need information they can easily digest to make better decisions and respond effectively to whatever situation they face to keep themselves and their communities safe.

For Menifee PD’s patrol officers, we configured maps within Peregrine specifically for what they needed – a single, geospatial view of last known locations for individuals with warrants issues or on registrant lists along with caution notes associated with various addresses.

“With Peregrine, we can be more prepared. Seeing where individuals with outstanding felony warrants are allows us to do our jobs better, quicker, more efficiently,” Sgt. Joshua Fernandez told us. “The technology will benefit everyone in the city because we can get these people off the streets more quickly. Peregrine is what this county needs to take what we do to the next level.”

The real-world applications are limitless. If a patrol officer knows an individual may have a history of mental illness, they can be better prepared when responding to a call for service. If someone calls 911 reporting domestic abuse, it’s good for the officer to know if the suspect has been connected to incidents of domestic abuse in the past. If a patrol officer is heading to a house, knowing about registered firearms in the house in advance keeps everyone safe.

“We can actually reduce the likelihood of use of force because of the information we have in Peregrine,” explained Fernandez.

The information you want, the context you need

Beyond Maps, Peregrine is designed to surface the data officers want and information they need, even when they don’t know they need it. All it takes? Peregrine’s universal Search.

“I’ve truly been amazed at how easy it is to access information on mobile devices, in the field. I search for someone’s name, and I can see vehicles, known associates, and known locations, all the information I’m looking for. It’s so easy,” continued Fernandez.

Peregrine’s smart, configurable heuristics automatically link data objects – like people, places, and things – across multiple systems together. Dive deeper here.

With mobile-friendly Maps and Search, all of Menifee’s patrol officers can find and apprehend suspects in violent crimes more quickly and easily. They keep themselves and their community safer, deescalating situations and finding peaceful resolutions. They are the direct service providers for people living in Menifee, and with Peregrine, they’re better at their jobs. 

Better information leads to better decisions. Reach out to ensure your patrol officers are prepared.
