The current version of this software as at 31/07/2017 is: ▇.▇▇.▇▇.▇▇.▇▇ The Niche RMS website describes the software as follows: Niche RMS is a single, unified, operational policing system that manages information in relation to the core policing entities – people, locations, vehicles, organizations (businesses or other groups), incidents (or occurrences) and property/evidence.

Policing is about managing incidents and, irrespective of the incident type, there are common information requirements in relation to the location, people involved, vehicles involved or property relevant to the incident – for example, a stolen television, a damaged car or a weapon.

Workflow automates the movement of information within the application, automatically creating tasks, changing data security and performing other actions. Niche RMS features a sophisticated security model that controls access to information at the domain level (typically a geographical policing area or a single police force in a multi-jurisdictional system) and at the role level (police positions such as patrol officer, supervisor, etc.). Additionally, Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be applied to individual records or groups of records to exercise fine-grained control over who can access what in the system.

The functionality that this module can provide is listed below, but not limited to: premises visits, etc.). This functionality can also be used to support operations targeting criminal networks, gangs or other organizations as well as problem solving and neighbourhood policing models. The receiving forces are implementing elements of this functionality as part of the agreed scope. Any future further GIM functionality shall be subject to due diligence, further business cases and projects where appropriate. The...
