SAN DIEGO, CA (NOVEMBER 18, 2013) – Public Safety agencies in Anoka County in Minnesota have selected TriTech’s Inform Suite as the foundation of their upgraded public safety technology platform.

The highly integrated system is expected to provide financial and operational efficiencies for the 27 agencies involved in the project.

“Our initial search for a new law enforcement records management system three years ago  quickly expanded to encompass the need for  of an integrated multi-agency and cross-discipline data system.  We cast the vision of an information system that would support the collaborative manner in which all public safety agencies in Anoka County already work.  The system’s overarching goal is to provide our law enforcement officers and firefighters with the information they require at the time and place they need it to keep our citizens safe. The TriTech suite will diminish redundant data entry and reduce errors to allow our staff to focus on their primary duties.”
