WINNER: Kentucky

12. KY Wireless Interoperable Network (KyWINS)
Completed in June 2006
Built using IPMobileNet 800 MHz as the standard
165 base stations across the Commonwealth
Emphasis placed on using existing public access towers to
keep down recurring costs
Wireless speed is 19.2 Kbs and based on TCP/IP traffic
Any program using TCP/IP with the speed limitations will
work on KyWINS
1087 units and 1517 users hosted (50 departments and 3
Agencies)

13. KyWINS Messenger Messaging Interoperability
The purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate an instant messaging program (KYWINS Messenger) that can be used by all public safety agencies in the Commonwealth. 
The system must use the statewide wireless data systems and work regardless of the mobile computer software they are using

14. KyWINS Messenger
Allows state and local agencies to communicate over the
wireless network
Can be used by all public safety agencies across the state
regardless of the mobile software they have chosen to use
Major step toward establishing interoperable communications
between ALL first responders
The software is free to all agencies
The software can be installed in vehicles as well as on office
based computers.  This can allow critical command level staff
to stay in touch with field staff

15. JusticeXChange Near Real-time “who’s in jail” database
Information sharing solution for justice agencies nationwide
Contains:
Mugshots
Incident reports
Detailed booking information
100% of KY jail beds
Nearly 50% jail beds nationwide
Nearly 600 KY users

16. eWarrants
Standardizes & automates the arrest warrants process through a computerized database
Provides greater availability of outstanding warrant information for law enforcement authorities statewide
Uses “electronic” signatures which improve efficiency in the workflow
Judges and county attorneys access the system through individual “workbaskets”

21. KyOPS Features and Functionality
Wizard-Based Applications: KSP patterned KyOPS after Turbo Tax. The KyOPS programs ask preliminary interview questions. Based upon the answers, the user is required to complete data that is pertinent to their report.
2D Barcode Scanning: KyOPS users can scan more than 37 different state driver’s licenses to input into the electronic collection applications.
Diagramming Tools: EasyStreetDraw and CrimeScenePD have been integrated into KyOPS to enable officers to diagram collision and crime scenes within KyOPS.
Supervisor Approval: After completion of the electronic wizard, the reports are forwarded to the Supervisor for review.

22. KyOPS Web Portal Functionality
Simple Document Search: Authorized users can search for imaged Collision, Crime, and Citations documents. After retrieving the document(s), the user can view or print the documents.
Advanced Data Query: Allows authorized users to perform complex queries to retrieve collisions that satisfy the search criteria. An example includes:
Collisions from 01/01/2004 to 12/31/2004
Agency ORI includes all 16 KSP Post
Number Killed in the Collision is Greater than 0
Roadway Number is Interstate 71
Roadway Condition Code is Wet

23. KyOPS Reports, Extracts, and Mapping
Management Reports: Authorized users request Management Reports to analyze Collision, Citations, and Crime data. (Example: High Accident Locations, Summary of Collisions by Time Period, Reported Fatal Collisions by County, etc.)
Extracts: Law enforcement, transportation, and federal agencies utilize KSP Data Extracts to update their existing applications. (Example: RMS Extract, SafetyNet, CarFax, etc.)
Creation of Maps: The KSP GIS staff utilizes the KyOPS data to produce maps that identify high accident and crime data for specified periods of time. (Example: Produce a map where more than 5 collisions occurred in the same location over the past 5 years during the 4th of July holiday)

24. KyOPS Standardized, Formatted Reports

25. KyOPS: Extracts from Advanced Queries

26. Mapping of Data Results from Advanced Queries
With CRASH data, the KSP conducted a public education project on deer/automobile accidents in November 2002.

27. KyOPS: Production of High Accident Maps
