Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to visually present and analyze database
information. CrimeView® Web, an easy -to -use web -based crime analysis interface accessing
your crime report databases in a geographic information system. CrimeView® Web is an intrrnet
map server system that allows staff throughout the department to access crime data through the
existing internal network (intranet). With one site license, multiple users can simultaneously
create maps and reports. CrimeView® Web can be accessed with a browser at any computer on
the intranet, eliminating the need for data or mapping software at individual workstations. The
easy -to -use analysis tools will help to further develop the crime analysis skills and experience of
your department as well as reduce the time required for analysis compared to conventional
techniques.
This proposal describes the features of CrimeView® Web, including the requirements for
installation at the Miami Police Department (MPD), Florida. Specific project goals are
presented, along with data requirements and pricing for CrimeView® Web and associated
services. CrimeView® Web is a crime analysis interface to ESRI's ArcIMS 4.x. ArcIMS is
required in order to use CrimeView® Web.

B.2. Departmental Crime Analysis Skills and Experience
The Omega Group will provide one (1) day of training for two (2) administrators as part of
'CrimeView® Web Proposal p .......................October 3, 2003
the standard package. These administrators will be trained in administration of CrimeView®
Web, including adding and removing data layers as well as creating and managing data
legends. The Omega Group also recommends that all personnel administrating CrimeView®
Web have the Introduction to ArcIMS training in addition to CrimeView® Web training.
The GIS interface; easy -to -use analysis tools, and powerful report generator make effective
crime analysis simple. Through frequent use of the straightforward interface, the skill and
experience of your staff will rapidly improve.
C. DATA REQUIREMENTS
The MPD's geography and crime data must be in place and available from the current crime
mapping GIS application for CrimeView® Web to access in ESRI compatible data layer
format(s) ( refer to Section A.5.).
D. TRAINING
Although CrimeView® Web is a simplified interface to enable quick and cost-effective analysis
of crime -specific data, the underlying data structures, capabilities, and characteristics of the
software are complex. Therefore, The Omega Group recommends training in ArcView GIS,
ArcIMS (both available separately from ESRI), and CrimeView® Web in order for the users to
fully benefit from the products.
D.1. ArcIMS Training
The Omega Group also recommends that all personnel administrating CrimeView® Web
have the Introduction to ArcIMS training in addition to CrimeView® Web training. At least
one person, preferably the primary system administrator, should have a solid understanding
of ArcIMS. The Omega Group requires that at least the system administrator or primary user
receive ArcIMS training prior to receiving CrimeView® Web training. ArcIMS training is
not available directly from Omega but can be taken from ESRI or from approved ArcIMS
training centers. Additional courses are also available from ESRI online (see
http://campus.esri.com).
D.2. CrimeView® Web Training
In order to best utilize the CrimeView® Web application, The Omega Group recommends
various levels of training for pertinent MPD staff (watch commanders, officers, and other
department staff). The Omega Group will provide CrimeView® Web training for two (2)
administrators as part of the standard package. The training includes one (1) day for
installation, and one (I) day of extensive training in the use of the CrimeView® Web
application. This training will enable administrators to effectively train others on
CrimeView® Web.
The Omega Group can provide training for other staff members for an additional fee.
