PROJECTED REVENUE GENERATORS
Activated Alarms
After a reasonable number of 
courtesy responses to activated 
alarms, law enforcement should 
enforce the false alarm fees.  Officers 
receive several activated alarm calls 
daily, without a fee being assigned to 
the business.  The assessed fees can 
be utilized to offset crime prevention 
programs.
Online Records & Firearms Processing & Services
The capabilities for customers to 
request and process services online 
will provide an added convenience 
and minimize the need for in person 
visits.  Online offers efficiency and 
the reduction of paperwork.
Records Management System
Will aid in reducing operating costs 
and improving efficiency of 
employees. The operation of the 
Records Bureau consumes a 
significant amount of time and money 
in terms of storage space, printing, 
filing and staffing to maintain an 
organized record system. It also takes 
a lot of time to search or reproduce 
records in absence of an organized, 
digital system.  This sometimes 
equates to additional hours in 
overtime pay.
