Incidents Reports can be created in Online RMS manually, or integrated from Caliber CAD for Agencies with an active Caliber CAD interface.
The Integration Interface transfers Caliber CAD call information to the Online RMS Calls For Service module and initiates an Incident Report for the responding unit, linking the Caliber CAD data to the report.
Beginning with Online RMS 11.7.0, you can create a Field Arrest and import data from an incident or Calls for Service into the arrest record to avoid unnecessary data entry.
Note: If the CFS module and integration is turned on, and the integration process cannot match people that exist on the CFS record with RMS, the unmatched names appear on the Names tab of the Incident Report. With appropriate permissions, you have the option to add unmatched people to the Master Index in RMS, then associate them with the Incident Report. For details, refer to Names Tab.
| • | Incident Reporting includes the following activities: |
| – | Create New Incident Report manually, or by integration from Caliber CAD, if applicable. |
Note: The Wizard leads you through each section of the incident report to help you fulfill the system requirements for a valid incident report. The Wizard can be turned on and off, but you should leave it on to help ensure that you complete required information. This practice helps to prevent problems with validation at the end of the incident creation process.
