Field Arrest Overview

The Field Arrest module can be used to document the necessary information associated with an arrest.  Once you select a person from the Master Indices or create a new person record, you can edit the Field Arrest information.  The Field Arrest can stand alone or it can be associated to an Incident Report.

Beginning with Online RMS 11.4.0, you can add a Criminal Complaint associated to a Field Arrest, providing you have the appropriate permissions and the feature is turned on.

Hunter Camera integration allows Online RMS to send a message to a virtual camera on our local machine, then receive pictures back and post to the Online RMS Master Person Index record.

Livescan integration transmits the most recent arrest and arrestee information from the Master Person Index to LiveScan.

Beginning with Online RMS 11.7.0, with appropriate permissions, you can create a Field Arrest and import data from an existing Incident or Calls for Service record into the arrest record, avoiding unnecessary data entry. This process also associates the Field Arrest to the Incident or Calls for Service record automatically.
