The Pocatello Police Department is organized into three divisions; (1) Patrol/Traffic, (2) Investigations and (3) Support Services. Each division within the department has specific staffing needs to meet our 24/7 service requirements, therefore the Department currently has (90) sworn officer positions. Each of these officers uses many pieces of equipment (guns, uniforms, etc.) as well as consumable items (gloves, OC Spray, etc.) In order to keep track of the equipment and to purchase and track the consumables, the Pocatello Police Department installed the CheckMate™ Equipment Tracking software with the Stockroom Inventory software. The Police inventory manager issues purchase orders and tracks the consumable items using the CheckMate™ inventory system. Once the items have been received they are transferred into the CheckMate™ Toolroom Equipment and Tool Tracking software. Equipment can now be checked out at the beginning and in at the end of a shift quickly and easily. Consumable inventory is reconciled so that the officers never run out of important items. And the Maintenance Scheduler option within CheckMate™ assures that items such as bullet-proof vests and OC spray are not used after their expiration dates. The ability to begin their shifts quickly allows the Pocatello Police to meet their mission of “community-oriented policing” by giving them more time with the public, rather than tracking down their equipment.

1. Barcode Kitting for Class A, B, & C Items Added to Checkmate Law
Enforcement Equipment Tracking Software.
May 7, 2015 /Redmond, Washington/ DSI, a Redmond, WA software
developer specializing in data collection applications for law enforcement has
announced the launch of a new kitting program based on bar code technology.
About Dynamic Systems (DSI)
In business since 1981, DSI provides bar code systems that track tool &
equipment, documents, and capital assets. Using Bar code data collection
systems has been proven to be the most accurate and efficient method of
tracking or counting items.
Addition of Kitting Module
DSI has announced the immediate release of a new Kitting Module targeted for
agencies who want to reduce the loss of equipment and gear and save time
tracking down equipment. The former kitting module allowed the formation of kits
of Class A (serialized) and Class B (bulk) items to be checked out at once. The
new module adds the ability include Class C (consumables) in the kit. Now the
user can formulate full kits of items such as guns, ammunition, gloves, and
batons and consumables that may then be checked out with one scan to areas
such as officers or vehicles. This function eliminates steps in the check-out
process and speeds up shift changes.
Cost Justification
If it requires only minutes checking multiple items into a “kit”, and if the agency’s
staff spends even 20 minutes a day searching tools or servicing equipment, the
overhead savings is dramatic. “Loss of gear and malfunctioning equipment is a
major overhead cost for Law Enforcement. Our customers see a typical payback
for the Equipment Tracking within 3-4 months,” states Alison Falco, President of
Dynamic Systems.
