From emergency alerts and community notifications to tip\nsubmissions and public records access, agencies rely heavily on their digital\npresence to serve and protect. With that responsibility comes a clear legal and\noperational mandate: compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\nand Department of Justice (DOJ) guidance aligning with Web Content Accessibility\nGuidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Understanding the Requirements</b></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">WCAG 2.1 AA is the recognized benchmark for website\naccessibility under the ADA. These guidelines ensure that digital content is\naccessible to individuals with disabilities, including those who are blind,\nvisually impaired, deaf, or who have cognitive or motor limitations. The core\nprinciples require that website content be:</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">1- Perceivable â Information must be presented in ways users\ncan recognize (e.g., alt text for images, captions for videos)</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">2- Operable â Users must be able to navigate and interact\nwith all elements (e.g., keyboard accessibility)</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">3- Understandable â Content and navigation must be clear and\npredictable</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">4- Robust â Content must be compatible with assistive\ntechnologies such as screen readers</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The DOJ has made it increasingly clear that public-sector\nentitiesâincluding police departmentsâare expected to meet these standards.\nThis is not optional guidance; it is enforceable under federal law.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>The Legal Landscape and Consequences of Non-Compliance</b></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Failure to meet ADA accessibility requirements exposes\nagencies to significant risk. Across the country, public entities have faced\nlawsuits, enforcement actions, and costly remediation requirements for\nnon-compliant websites. Consequences may include:</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Civil litigation and legal costs</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Federal enforcement actions</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Mandatory remediation under strict timelines</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Fines and penalties</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Reputational damage and loss of public trust<span> </span></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Additionally, many states have adopted or reinforced their\nown accessibility mandates that align with or expand upon WCAG 2.1 AA.\nNon-compliance may also impact eligibility for grants, funding opportunities,\nand state-level compliance requirements.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Why This Matters for Law Enforcement</b></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">For police agencies, accessibility is not just about\ncomplianceâit is about equitable access to public safety. A website that cannot\nbe used by all members of the community creates barriers to reporting crimes,\naccessing emergency information, or engaging with law enforcement services. In\ncritical situations, those barriers can have real-world consequences.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><i>Accessible design ensures that:</i></p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Emergency alerts can be received and understood\nby all users</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Victims and witnesses can submit information\nwithout limitation</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Community trust is strengthened through\ninclusive communication<span> </span></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Control, Security, and Operational Integrity</b></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">A common but critical mistake is relying on municipal or\ntownship websites to host law enforcement content. While convenient, these\nplatforms often lack the specialized functionality, compliance controls, and\nsecurity considerations required for policing operations. Similarly, private\nvendors without a deep understanding of law enforcement workflows may deliver\nsolutions that fall short of both operational and legal standards.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Law enforcement agencies should maintain direct control over\ntheir digital infrastru
99cture. This ensures:</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Full compliance with ADA and WCAG standards</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Alignment with CJIS and law enforcement security\nrequirements</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Rapid updates for time-sensitive public safety\ninformation</p><p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"><span>·<span>        \n</span></span>Integration with agency-specific tools and\nsystems<span> </span></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Owning and managing a dedicated, compliant platform allows\nagencies to operate with confidenceâknowing their digital presence meets both\nlegal obligations and mission-critical needs.<span> </span></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Moving Forward</b></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">ADA WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is not a one-time project; it is\nan ongoing responsibility. Agencies should regularly audit their websites,\nimplement accessibility best practices, and ensure that any digital tools or\nthird-party integrations meet the same standards.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">For law enforcement, the path forward is clear: prioritize\naccessibility, maintain control of your systems, and adopt solutions built\nspecifically for the public safety environment. Doing so not only mitigates\nlegal risk but strengthens the agencyâs ability to serve every member of the\ncommunity effectively.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Accessibility is not just about meeting standardsâit is\nabout fulfilling the core mission of law enforcement: protecting and serving\nall.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">To support all law enforcement agencies, OPS provides a full\nADA WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and community policing package â including tools\nintegrated to support a full community policing platform (TIPS, I/A Compliance,\nPress, Recruitment, and more) that is ready to be stood up quickly and easilyâ\nso your agencyâs public site is compliant end to end and connected to agencies\nand communities across the network.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"https://onlinepolicingsolutions.com/pages/schedule-tour.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

This fragmentation creates persistent operational challenges: critical information may not reach neighboring jurisdictions in time, investigative leads often remain siloed, and officers face increased risks in the field. Studies continue to highlight gaps in interoperability, coordination, and secure data exchange as major obstacles to effective policing.</p> <p><strong>The Ongoing National Challenge of Information Sharing</strong></p> <p>Federal assessments reinforce this reality. A\n2023 U.S. Department of Homeland Security report notes that <em>âthe ability to share information in a\ntimely, secure, and actionable manner remains a\ncritical challenge,â </em>while the Government Accountability Office found that the nationâs Information Sharing Environment <em>âcontinues to face barriers to effective information sharing,â</em> limiting the timely exchange of actionable intelligence.</p> <p>At the same time, organized crime, online exploitation, human trafficking, and other multi-jurisdictional matters continue to evolve faster than traditional communication methods can accommodate, making secure, real-time cross-agency information sharing essential.</p> <p><strong>New Jerseyâs Statewide Solution</strong></p> <p><strong><img src=\"data/media/70ea090d-Article-Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"></strong></p> <p>To address these challenges, the State of New Jersey, led by the New Jersey State Police (NJSP), decided to take a\nmajor step forward and implement an innovative approach to this national challenge, the statewide âLaw Enforcement Notification and Sharingâ platform (OPS LENS). In the summer of 2024, this secure law enforcement network directly connected, for the first time, all local, county, and state officers and agencies in real time, providing a\nunified framework for communication, intelligence sharing, and operational coordination.</p> <p><em>âThis wasnât about improving the marginsâit was about solving the problem. We made a\nconscious decision to break from outdated models, take the necessary steps forward, and implement a\nsystem that delivers real-time, secure collaboration across every level of law enforcement agency and member.â </em>says Major Michael Flory of the New Jersey State Police</p> <p>Officers can now share updates instantly through direct, group, or multi-agency channels. The platform supports secure multimediaâimages, video, and documentsâall ar
209chived and indexed for rapid retrieval. From patrol officers to investigators, users maintain situational awareness across jurisdictions without restriction. With the click of a\nbutton, information is deployed to one agency and 10 officers or the entire state. No delays and instant response.</p> <p><em>âThe goal of the system was to provide an easy-to-use, secure and scalable method to finally bring all law enforcement together, ensuring valuable time was no longer lost.â</em> says George Chopek, former NJ law enforcement executive and principal officer for Online Policing Solutions, Inc., the oversight and management group for the platform.</p> <p>Within the first week of the platformâs statewide deployment on July 1, 2024, success followed quickly. For example, numerous officers and agencies from multiple counties collaborated to dismantle an organized, cross-jurisdictional vehicle theft crew. The rapid sharing of critical information brought investigators together in daysâwhere traditionally, connecting these cases across jurisdictions could have taken months.</p> <p><strong>Real-Time Communication and Multimedia Intelligence</strong></p> <p>At its core, OPS LENS features an officer-contributed intelligence database. Each submission not only notifies recipients in real time while allowing for instant response but adds to a\ncontinuously expanding repository. Advanced searchâincluding keyword, image-based, and AI-assisted queriesâenables users to quickly identify connections across cases.</p> <p><em>âWhat that means in practice: a\ndetective can upload a\nphoto and search across every notification in the system for visually similar content. The AI does the matching. Youâre not keyword searching anymore â\nyou are image searching across a\nsecure officer-controlled database.â</em> explains Michael Bunnano, one of the chief engineers behind the development of the platform.</p> <p>Specialized sections support additional investigation databases, including child luring, missing persons, and human trafficking to name a\nfew, providing structured access while maintaining oversight across agencies.<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Integrating Critical Civilian Partners</strong></p> <p>OPS LENS also allows integration of civilian assetsâhospitals, transportation hubs, and other key facilitiesâinto notification chains. This ensures all relevant stakeholders receive timely, actionable intelligence, enhancing situational awareness and coordinated responses.</p> <p><em>âIf a\nchild goes missing, information can be shared instantly with officers, hospitals, and other partners. Itâs a\nnew generation of collaboration in New Jersey,â</em> says Steven OâNeill, OPS VP and former NJ HIDTA Task Force Commander.</p> <p><strong>Rapid Deployment and Scalable Design</strong></p> <p>The platform is built for rapid onboarding, allowing agencies to connect within minutes with no infrastructure requirements. While fully supporting statewide operations, OPS LENS is also designed for regional and multi-state expansion. Numerous federal partners, regional intelligence centers and agenciesâincluding in the State of New Yorkâare already becoming active participants, enabling seamless coordination not only across New Jersey, but beyond its borders.</p> <p><strong>Transforming Operations: From Delayed Sharing to Instant Intelligence</strong></p> <p><strong><img src=\"data/media/ab8cfe2c-Picture1-300x138.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"></strong></p> <p>OPS LENS consolidates communication and intelligence into a\nsingle, continuously updated system. Officers and analysts can access and act on intelligence as it develops rather than waiting hours or days for traditional channels. Multi-jurisdictional casesâranging from organized theft rings to missing children to homicidesâare now resolved more efficiently.</p> <p>2026 â\nHuman Trafficking Seminar â\nNJSP LENS Discussion</p> <p><em>âWe use it every dayâitâs just the way it should have always been,â</em> said one detective during a\n2026 regional human trafficking event held in New Jersey.</p> <p><strong>Data-Driven Success</strong></p> <p>The impact is measurable. The 2025 end of year New Jersey State Police OPS LENS report highlighted:</p> <ul> <li>Over 90.9 million alerts generated statewide</li> <li>
209390,000 average daily alerts, peaking above 540,000</li> <li>34,000 unique notifications deployed with a\n~24% officer engagement rate</li> <li>48,308 images, 2,960 videos, and 1,355 documents shared</li> <li>6,703 person profiles created, including a\ncentralized âLuringâ database</li> <li>723 agencies/divisions and nearly 20,000 active members connected</li> </ul> <p>This is not just communicationâit is operational intelligence in real time.</p> <p><strong>Enhancing Officer Safety and Protecting Information</strong></p> <p>Real-time intelligence directly improves officer safety by providing immediate situational awareness, suspect information, and evolving threat conditions. Decision-making becomes more deliberate and informed, contributing to safer operations across the state.</p> <p>In addition, operating and sharing information on a\nsecure, government approved application, protects officers from utilizing unauthorized applications or personal communications channels, placing their devices, personal information and cases in jeopardy.</p> <p><strong>Built to Scale: A\nModel for Expansion</strong></p> <p>New Jerseyâs success shows that a\nstatewide, real-time network can function reliably at scale. With a\nmodular, secure architecture like OPS LENS, new agencies or states can integrate seamlessly without disrupting existing operations. Regional and national integration is now expanding, enabling efficient intelligence sharing, coordinated multi-agency responses, and faster investigationsâsupporting not just in-state operations, but multi-state coordination as well.</p> <p><strong>Redefining the Future of Law Enforcement Collaboration</strong></p> <p>With the scalable architecture and effectiveness of the network, New Jersey has provided a\nproven model for enhancing real-time collaboration, improving operational awareness, and meeting the demands of modern policing. The New Jersey State Police has shown what is possible when law enforcement moves beyond siloed systems: <em>intelligence flows faster than the threats it counters, officers are empowered and safer, collaboration is strengthened, and a\nnew standard for collaboration in policing is established.</em></p> <span><img src=\"data/media/3b737254-Nat.-Police-Journal.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"></span>", 210 "published": true 211 }, 212 { 213 "id": "28547", 214 "slug": "api-integration-for-safer-smarter-public-safety-outcomes", 215 "title": "API Integration for Safer, Smarter Public Safety", 216 "date": "2026-04-06", 217 "excerpt": "NPS-AID Platform Upgrade: Major Migration Delivers Upgraded Real-Time API Integration for Safer, Smarter Public Safety Outcomes Weâre thrilled to announce that the NPS-AID platform has just completed a comprehensiveâ¦", 218 "image": "data/media/ec57ba96-New-Project-8.jpg", 219 "content": "<p> <h2><strong>NPS-AID Platform Upgrade: Major Migration Delivers Upgraded Real-Time API Integration for Safer, Smarter Public Safety Outcomes</strong></h2> <p>Weâre thrilled to announce that the NPS-AID platform has just completed a\ncomprehensive <b>system-wide migration and architectural upgrade</b> â\nmoving to an even more modern, API-first, high-availability cloud infrastructure with enhanced security protocols, optimized data pipelines, and enterprise-grade scalability.</p> <p>The centerpiece of this upgrade? <b>Full production deployment of our advanced secure, real-time CAD/PSAP API</b>.

To help minimize these tragic results, Law enforcement realized there was a\ndesperate need for tools to help prepare for these interactions and help ensure all parties had the best opportunity to come out of the same safely. But how?</p> <p>Once the issue of these encounters became clear, aggressive agencies tried creating âSpecial Needs Registryâ systems, usually accessed by the community via an agency or city website. These âregistriesâ generally encouraged citizens to submit information, via an email form, to the agency so that the agency could log this information into their CAD systems, or into some type of internal spreadsheet. These efforts are very commendable and those who tried to implement these protocols should be proud of attempting to tackle this challenging issue.</p> <p>Unfortunately, there are many pitfalls to this solution. Here are just a\nfew:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Emails can get lost, forgotten or the officer in charge of collecting these emails could get busy or be on vacation, sick leave, or other business.</strong> All these unknowns risk the chance that information submitted is not tended to properly or promptly.</li> <li><strong>Citizens are not confined to one jurisdiction. </strong>If a\ncitizen submits the email and it is added to the agencies CAD system, all is fine unless the encounter takes place in the next town, where those officers have no access to the information.</li> <li><strong>There is no accountability in emails.</strong> When an encounter with a\ncitizen with special needs does occur, and force must be used, how can an agency be sure they can document that the information submitted via an email was received and documented in the CAD as the citizen would expect?</li> </ol> <p>The above are just a\nfew examples of the many potential pitfalls of segregated and email dependent systems, which vary greatly from town to town. What was truly needed, regarding protecting our citizens with special needs, and our officers, is an easy to use and trackable Special Needs Network.</p> <p>The <strong>OPS Network, Special Needs Registry</strong>, is the first and only global <strong>Special Needs Registry Network</strong> in the nation that:</p> <ol> <li>Allows family members of citizens with Special Needs to register their loved one
1019s with no login or account needed, from any participating agencyâs Community Interface, for any jurisdiction in the nation.</li> <li>Centralizes registrations so that officers from any jurisdiction can search and find information about special needs citizens even when the encounter occurs outside of the citizens primary jurisdiction.</li> <li>Tracks all received registrations, from who received them to who entered them in the primary jurisdictions CAD system, creating easy to access accountability.</li> <li>Allows agencies to instantly forward registrations, that were registered with the wrong primary agency, to the correct agency.</li> <li>Creates a\nnationwide database of voluntary registrants so that officers can be better prepared to respond properly to a\ndifficult situation, even when the citizen is unfamiliar to them.</li> </ol> <p>The OPS Network was designed to connect our officers to each other, and our communities with our agencies, sharing resources and technology to better our communities and allow us all to work together. <em><strong>The OPS Network Special Needs Registry is just another incredible example of how OPS is doing just that each and every day.</strong></em></p> <p><em>Interested in learning more about the OPS National Law Enforcement and Community Policing Integrated Network (OPS Network)?

What can we do to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community? How can we build trust? How can we work together for a\nsafer community? How do we prevent the aftermath of a\ntragic event before it happens? How can we better ferret out the problems and multiply the positives?</p> <p>There are many questions but there is really only one answer. We need to create a\nlong-lasting bond with our communities that can withstand the most troubling events, and Community Policing is the key.</p> <p>Unfortunately, Community Policing has many definitions and meanings, depending on how (or who) you ask. Some will say it means attending events and speaking to the community. Others will say it means early intervention in troubled neighborhoods. Many will tell you that Community Policing means identifying your most engaged officers and âhitting the streetsâ to build bonds with community leaders and members. None of these answers would be wrong and all of them should be encouraged. But, unfortunately most of them fail to offer a\nlong lasting whole approach to the Community Policing model.</p> <p><span><em>âWe need to create a\nlong-lasting bond with our communities that can withstand the most troubling events. Community Policing is the key. â</em></span></p> <p>Meaningful Community Policing is hard to maintain during an event âhere or thereâ. A\nvisit once in a\nwhile. A\nmeeting every quarter with leaders and motivated community members. All of these things are great, and those who engage this process should be commended because it takes a\nreal commitment, by the truly committed, to maintain the schedule needed to make a\ntrue difference. This approach is time consuming and requires an immense amount of dedication. Most of our leaders are overwhelmed with so many other duties, that this level of discipline is nearly impossible to maintain. In addition, to truly engage your community, you must involve a\nlarge percentage of them. The above methods make this nearly impossible, no matter how hard y
1039ou try.</p> <p>In addition, one of the biggest issues with all of the above methods is that the results are, for the most part, temporary. Meetings end. âVisitsâ only last so long. They have great impact while they are happening, but they get lost pretty soon after the excitement wears off. Attendees and citizens head home, turn on the TV, visit social media and âtweetâ. All of your hard work and effort soon get drowned out by the constant media narrative, those who wish to agitate and others who get their kicks out of creating division. No matter how hard good intentioned law enforcement and political leaders try, they cannot compete with the constant barrage of information in todayâs 24 hour news and social media cycle. Or, can they?</p> <p><em>Yesâ¦they can!</em></p> <p>In order to remain relevant, agencies and leaders need to shape the narrative. They need community partnership and transparency. They need agency to agency and officer to officer connection and free flowing information sharing. They need to truly embrace change, to connect â\n360 degrees. Not every third Wednesday, but everyday.</p> <p>Imagine a\ntool that allowed agencies to actually partner with their communities by leveraging technology to bring the community into the fold and work together, not just at special events, but each and every day. An interface in every home and pocket that instantly offered transparency in policing, instant sharing of information, immediate notification of critical information, open discussion of issues (the good and the not so good) and a\ntruly invested 24/7 community partnership.</p> <p>Imagine a\ntool that allowed agencies to instantly share information, trends, training, resources, community concerns and more among each other.</p> <p>Imagine a\ntool that drastically improved the image of law enforcement and took back the mainstream and social media narrative, that mostly focuses on the negative (bad news sells), and highlighted the many positive things law enforcement does everyday.</p> <p>Imagine a\ntool that actually created a\npartnership between law enforcement and the media themselves.</p> <p>The OPS Network is that solution. From the very first piece of code that got laid down, OPS Network developers began working with law enforcement to do exactly that. Change the relationship and build a\n360 degree partnership between our communities and law enforcement.</p> <p>If we truly leverage todayâs technology to build long lasting and unbreakable partnerships, law enforcement and our communities will be in a\nmuch better position to deal with negative events. Not as two separate and divided entities, but together as one great machine, built on the trust and positive relationships that have been forged every single day.</p> </p>", 1040 "published": true 1041 }, 1042 { 1043 "id": "18394", 1044 "slug": "cape-may-county-prosecutors-office-joins-ops-network", 1045 "title": "Cape May County Prosecutors Office Joins OPS Network", 1046 "date": "2022-04-01", 1047 "excerpt": "Welcome the Cape May County Prosecutorâs Office (NJ) to the OPS Network.

Main Street USA has transformed from the quint shopping and social districts in any downtown in America, where the community, shopped, interacted and socialized on a\nregular basis, to smartphones and computers. People now shop, socialize, get news and even date online. Things that used to happen downtownâ¦.well, they now happen on the web. </p> <p>Downtown was also where police departments regularly interacted with the public they served. Friendly talks at a\ncrosswalk, a\nbite at the local eatery and shaking the business owners hand was all accomplished as the officers walked the shopping and social district. While some of that still happens, the make-up and way it happens has drastically changed.</p> <p>In addition to the above, our communities have changed. Many of our towns and cities are no longer made up of generational residences so not everyone knows everyone. Police Officers are often not from the town they now serve and are not familiar with the people, schools and places that they are now patrolling.</p> <p>The internet has changed many things, some good and some bad. But, the fact is the change has happened and law enforcement needs to recognize it and change with it.</p> <p>With todays internet saturated society, where everyone carries a\ncomputer in their pocket, we as law enforcement need to offer resources and tools that our communities can use to connect with us the way they know best, via the web. A\n2014 study of 4000 people by the Accenture Group revealed that 82% of those questioned wished that police had better ways that they could connect via a\ndigital media. 74% stated that they would use digital tools to interact and assist police if they were available. And, 85% said they would rather use digital tools than talk to a\npolice officer direct. This last one is a\nbit surprising at first but when you look at our obsession with the web, maybe not so much.</p> <p>The point of the above is that our world has made some major changes and that is why tools like the Online Policing Solutions Network are so important. By utilizing the OPS Network, agencies are connecting like never before. Citizens and officers alike are seeing that having a\ndigital bridge of communications means all the difference in a\ndigital world. While private industry has kept pace with times, law enforcement has been, up until this point, fine with living in the stone ages.</p> <p>While this author sometimes (and often) wishes things would go back to a\nsimpler time, they are not. Just as we would all like to not have to lock our doors at night, because in a\nperfect world those around us would respect the sanctity of a\npersonâs home, the fact is that those days are over. We all lock our doors. And, we, as law enforcement professionals, must embrace the digital age.</p> <p>To truly embrace the digital age, and offer resources that will make an impact on the communities we serve, and the officers we call to duty, we must use tools that interact, are easy to use and make sense. A\nâwebsiteâ is the standard of the past but they are not interactive and mostly simply informative. Any tools that create interaction are usually from a\nthird party and can be expensive and require the user to register multiple times. Our progressive society has become digital warriors and in the process have become impatient. If it is not fast and easy, they will move on. The other issue with âwebsitesâ is that they require skill to keep up with and are often made by agency members who are not web designers. A\npoorly designed website hurts the agencies image and a\nwebsite not kept up to date is worthless. The other tool to interact with people in the digital world are mobile APPS. Mobile APPS are limited, data heavy, require downloads and do not work on computers. Most people have relegated APPS to the gaming world and to gimmicks.</p> <ul> <li>This is where the OPS Network comes in. The benefits of the OPS Network are many and include:</li> <li>No APPS to download.</li> <li>The community side of OPS is an open source web application software which means there are no passwords or downloads needed.</li> <li>It is fast and easy to use for both agency personnel and the public.</li> <li>It is packed full of interactive tools and valuable resources for both the agency and the community.</li> <li>It is a\ngrowing tool. This means that it will continue to get better and offer more.</li> <li>It was designed from scratch for law enforcement.</li> <li>It is affordable!</li> <li>It is brand building for the agency because it is professional, up to date and instantly lets all users know the agency is a\nprofessional law enforcement organization.</li> </ul> <p>The above are just a\nsmidgen of the benefits of the OPS Network and the things it offers in todayâs digital world.</p> <p>No matter what avenue your agency takes to address the digital world we now live in, remember one thing.

Mainstream and social media tend to shape the narrative and once it is in motion, it very is hard to change. Whatever the particular narrative may be, it soon becomes âfactâ, and the âgospel truthâ, to those who hear it. </p> <p>So, how can law enforcement agencies help change the narrative? How can agencies play a\nrole in shaping the narrative? How can they get the narrative back on track, especially if the narrative being molded it is out of line with the reality?</p> <p>The simple (and not so simple) answer is that law enforcement needs to communicate directly with their communities, partner with their communities, listen to their communities and gain the trust and respect of their communities. If these goals can be accomplished, law enforcement can drastically change the narrative, their relationship with their communities, and their ability to offer effective services. </p> <p>We need to communicate directly with our communities, partner with our communities, listen to our communities and gain the trust and respect of our communities.</p> <p>Digital technology is an often time untapped asset for law enforcement, yet it is the dominating medium that most community members are utilizing to educate and inform themselves. Law enforcement agencies, by and large, have a\nvery small digital footprint. When they do have one, it is often sending the wrong message. What wrong message is that? Letâs explore.</p> <p>On average, only about 18% of law enforcement agencies have a\ndedicated website or digital/online presence. Many of the agencies that have a\ndigital presence are often very lacking in numerous ways, making the website more of a\ndetriment rather than a\npositive asset. Here is a\nlist of the most common failures:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Lack of Interactive Tools:</strong> Most police websites are generally âinformationalâ at best. They present basic information about the agency (staff, location, contact information, etc.). While this type of information should be available, these types of websites do not promote repeated interaction. When a\nuser visits an informational only website, they generally have no reason to return. </li> <li><strong>Complicated Use or Interactions:</strong> Agencies that try to offer some interactive online tools, are generally integrating them from a\nthird-party provider/vendor. This can create confusion for the user, require multiple logins, impede on the user experience and disrupt the overall âcomfortable flowâ of the website. This also limits an agencyâs ability to offer numerous services, as many of these third-party tools can be expensive as stand alone assets. These costs add up fast if the agency wishes to offer numerous resources.</li> <li><strong>Poor First Impression:</strong> This is one of the biggest mistakes many law enforcement agencies make when implementing a\nwebsite. Simply tossing up any old website because âwe need somethingâ, sets agencies back and is often worse than having nothing at all. When trying to create a\npositive narrative, the last thing any agency should want is for community members and visitors to get into the wrong âmindsetâ when visiting a\nwebsite or using a\ndigital tool associated with the agency. The importance of the âfirst impressionâ is time tested and needs to be seriously considered. As it is said, you only get one chance at a\nfirst impression. In addition, extensive âcase-studiesâ in marketing and customer engagement have been conducted over the years and support the importance of first impressions. Billions of dollars have been spent on how to best engage an audie
1089nce instantly and these techniques are critical, and apply to any entity (private or public). <ul> <li><strong><em>Itâs In Your Face â\nCRIME, CRIME and MORE CRIME.</em></strong> The moment that any visitor hits a\nlaw enforcement website and is immediately presented with murder and mayhem, they are instantly put into a\nnegative thought pattern, whether consciously or sub-consciously. This negative thought pattern can then get associated to the agency they are interacting with. Studies show that people often associate negative emotions and memories with things surrounding a\nnegative event or interaction, even if that particular thing had nothing to do with the event or interaction itself. Flooding an agency websiteâs main page with arrest data, crime stats, mug shots and more is a\nhugely negative presentation and experience for most visitors. This negativity simply projects and reinforces the negative narrative, not only toward the events displayed, but often times back onto the agency (murder, rape, shootings, etc⦠=\npolice). While this information should be available, it should <span><em>never</em> </span>be the main focus of an agencyâs online presentation.</li> <li><b>Sliders and Carousels:</b> For those who remember websites from fifteen years ago, these are the âold schoolâ rotating frames (or slides) at the top of the main page that rotate every few seconds to display new information. While these may seem âcoolâ, they have in fact been found to be distracting, ineffective and slow down the websites loading time, drastically effecting the user experience. In addition, research has found that most users will not look past the first slide, meaning critical information gets missed.</li> <li><strong>Outdated Information:</strong> Many police websites are not kept up to date. Not keeping a\nwebsite up to date can happen for many reasons such as the leadership does not have the technical skills to manage it, the cost may be to high to hire a\nfull time web design firm, or the site may have been built by an agency member who has left the agency, or is no longer available. Whatever the reason may be, nothing says âwe donât careâ more than an outdated online presence or a\nâChiefâs Profileâ that features a\nChief that his been retired for five years.</li> <li><strong>Overall Poor Layout and Design:</strong> Websites need to be easy to navigate and professional. What may look cool to a\npolice officer, is not necessarily what is going to foster confident partnership with the community. Remember, the target audience is the community for which the agency serves and the website should be trying to encourage engagement with them. Overly dark designs, military type images, or outdated layouts often turn visitors away and once again, create a\nnegative mind-set the moment a\nvisitor enters the website.</li> <li><strong>Mobile Ready:</strong> Websites that do not work well on mobile are very detrimental to the agency. 60% or more of visitors will be operating from a\nmobile device. Nothing will frustrate a\nuser more than visiting a\nwebsite from their phone or tablet and not being able to interact properly.</li> <li><strong>Relying on APPS:</strong> Apps are very popular these days but are limited in their uses. In addition, they require permanent downloads, the use of data, are difficult for some older users to manage and do not work on computers. Keep in mind as well, many people may not want a\nâpoliceâ APP on their phone for others to potentially see. </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Changing the narrative requires digital tools that engage the community, enforce a\npositive image of the agency and encourage partnership. So, how can agencies have the best chance to accomplish this goal?</p> <ul> <li><strong>Effective Navigation and Design: </strong>Agencies need to start by ensuring their website is easy to navigate, user friendly and focused on community partnership, from the very first moment the visitor lands on the homepage. Agencies should lose the outdated âslidersâ and capture the visitor with one vibrant and empowering homepage image that clearly sends the message of what the agency is all about. Agencies can change that image periodically, but remember, this image is not meant to provide information, it is meant to make a\npositive impression. An impression that will put the user in a\nmindset to engage the agency and feel comfortable. Old school websites with small type font and those jammed pack with information are overwhelming to users and hard to navigate. Agencies should be implementing website layouts that are airy, comfortable and foster confidence for the user.</li> <li><strong>Offer Plenty of Reliable Resources:</strong> Agency websites and digital tools should offer resources that are easy to use and those that clearly send a\nmessage that the agencyâs digital presence is about partnership. These resources should not re-direct the user to numerous different websites, require numerous new logins or upset the flow of the visitor experience. If they do, the user will lose confidence and leave. And remember, anytime a\nuser gets re-directed to another website or tool, the agency has lost control and turned the narrative over to the company that is presenting the information or resource to the user. If that experience is negative, the tool is not functioning properly or the tool creates a\nnegative result, that negative experience will be associated to the original agency that sent them there. Agencies should avoid (at all c
1089ost) giving up their space, once the visitor is engaged, to any other entity or company and should try to utilize internalized tools that are under the agencies control.</li> <li><strong>Focus On the Positive:</strong> While having resources like Crime Blotters and Arrest Data is important, and should be available to the community as a\ntransparency and partnership asset, they should never be the overwhelming focus of the agencyâs online presentation. Users who are looking for that kind of information should be able to find it, but it should not be front and center. Front and center should be the tools and resources that are there to reinforce a\npositive image of the agency and a\ndesire to partner with the community.</li> <li><strong>Keep It Up To Date:</strong> All information should be kept up to date. Using a\n<a href=\"/about-ops-network/\" rel=\"noopener\">platform</a> that allows designated agency users to update and maintain their online presence properly, regardless of technical skills, is critical.</li> <li><strong>Use Engaging Imagery:</strong> Images are critical and can often say more than words. Just one engaging image can instantly convey a\ndesired message to the user and put them in a\ncompletely different mental space. <em>Think of this for a\nmoment:</em> If a\npotential customer, looking for an athletic shoe, were to visit a\nâsneakerâ company website, and the main image was that of a\nperson screaming from pain due to shin splints, that customer would probably not be in the right mindset to purchase sneakers. There is a\nreason why these websites will generally greet new visitors with an image of an athlete jumping ten feet off the ground and smiling the whole time. Upon seeing this image, even the most out of shape visitor suddenly feels that maybe (just maybe) they can benefit from this sneaker. Using this example, if law enforcement overwhelmingly presents images of criminal mugshots, all over the main page, your visitors will probably not be in the mood to engage. Agencies need to put the user in a\nmindset that encourages them to explore and feel empowered to interact. High quality, thought provoking images, targeted for the visitor, will make a\nhuge impact and leave a\nlasting (and positive) impression. With todayâs technology, found in the average cell phone camera, there really is no need for poor images on a\nprofessional law enforcement agency website.</li> <li><strong>Partnership and Transparency:</strong> Every agency should ensure that their website encourages partnership, highlights the agencyâs positive, offers many interactive resources (police related and otherwise) and allows the agency to be as transparent as possible. The end goal is to convey to the community that they are not just looking at a\nwebsite, but are interacting with an important partnership tool that they are a\ncritical part of, not just visiting from the sidelines. </li> </ul> <p>In our current day and age, all communities are inundated with digital information, 24 hours per day. Some of it is accurate, much of it is not and most of it is negative. Law Enforcement can change that narrative if they engage their communities each and every day in a\npositive, professional and encouraging way.</p> <p><a href=\"https://onlinepolicingsolutions.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">With proper tools, which have been developed using the latest technology, market driven research and a\nfocus on law enforcement and community relations,</a> it will take very little effort for law enforcement agencies to implement and manage the above suggestions.

We have been advising our users to discontinue using the old Internet Explorer and switch to a\nmodern browser (like Google Chrome) for a\nwhile now. Most modern applications will not work, or partially work at best, on Internet Explorer (IE) since IE is no longer a\nsupported web based platform. While application developers that developed on this old tech are scrambling to find a\nfix, the OPS Network⢠is well ahead of the curve and our users and partner agencies are reaping the benefits of smart development practices in this changing environment. </p> <p>Read the below article from FORTUNE to learn more.</p> <p><em>Article Courtesy of <strong>Fortune â\n</strong> 2019</em> </p> <p>Microsoft Internet Explorer was sent to the technology retirement home in 2015, but four years later, the companyâs cybersecurity specialist is warning diehard fans that it really is time to switch to a\nne
1119w browser.</p> <p>The reason? Thereâs a\nbig, beautiful Internet out there, but Internet Explorer users are likely missing out on a\nlot of experiences that arenât tailored to the browser.</p> <p>In a\npost called âThe perils of using Internet Explorer as your default browser,â Microsoftâs Chris Jackson said everyone should stop using Internet Explorer. He even stripped the longtime browser of its status and instead referred to it as a\nâcompatibility solution.â</p> <p>âWeâre not supporting new web standards for it and, while many sites work fine, developers by and large just arenât testing for Internet Explorer these days. Theyâre testing on modern browsers,â said Jackson. âSo, if we continued our previous approach, you would end up in a\nscenario where, by optimizing for the things you have, you end up not being able to use new apps as they come out. As new apps are coming out with greater frequency, what we want to help you do is avoid having to miss out on a\nprogressively larger portion of the web!â</p> <p>While Microsoft really wants to retire the legacy product once and for all, Jackson said itâs fine to use Internet Explorer for certain enterprise solutions, however even then, it should not be relied on as a\nmain browser. While plenty of companies have made the switch, some professions with lean IT departments, such as healthcare, still have questions about the browser.</p> <p>Microsoft Edge was introduced as the successor and made its debut with Windows 10. The software maker is working on a\nChromium version of Edge that will be available for tests in the next few weeks. The new version of Edge could make a\nbig difference for Internet Explorer holdouts, since businesses will be able to install it on certain older versions of Windows.</p> <p>But if thereâs one lesson here to learn, itâs that old habitsâand desktop iconsâdie hard.</p>", 1120 "published": true 1121 }, 1122 { 1123 "id": "8251", 1124 "slug": "ops-newest-engineer", 1125 "title": "OPSâ Newest Engineer", 1126 "date": "2019-10-30", 1127 "excerpt": "Please welcome OPSâ newest team member, Thomas Pane.

1169 is a\ncomprehensive tool that allows parents and guardians to enter detailed information about their children to be used by law enforcement when that child is considered in danger. This information is 100% secure and only accessible by the responding law enforcement agency.</p> <p><em>Here is how is it works.</em> Through outreach and partnership with your area schools, parents are encouraged to utilize the OPS Network Community Interface to register their children via the Child Interface Module. This registration process is quick, secure and simple. It provides law enforcement with a\nhost of information about the child such as a\ndescription, photos, social media account information, phone numbers, relatives, friends, church and social clubs, health conditions and history and so much more. If or when a\nchild goes missing or is considered endangered, law enforcement will have the ability to locate the information about the child and all of the data that was entered. At the same time, law enforcement can generate a\nMissing Persons Flyer, share the information on social media, alert the public via the public notification system and even share direct with the press/media. All of these things are completed from one screen in a\nmatter of minutes, not hours.</p> <p>Imagine receiving the call about a\nmissing or endangered child and before the CART notification even goes out, your investigators and offices are able to collect all the relevant data about the child, generate a\nflyer and notify the public before they even leave the department.
