Subject: 4 New Crystal Reports - MDC Field Based Reporting
Four new Crystal Reports have been created for the purpose of allowing officers, investigators, and
commanders to view and print reports generated via the Field Based Reporting (FBR) system that is
currently being deployed to the front desks and patrol officers, without having to use the MDC or Law
Records Management System (LRMS).
The new reports are:
1. FBR ALL REPORTS: Shows list of all reports entered via FBR.
2. FBR REPORT BY CASE NUMBER: Shows specific reports based on the case number(s).
3. FBR REPORT BY SIGNAL AND DATE RANGE: Shows specific reports based on the signal type and
date range.
4. FBR REPORTS BY DATE RANGE: Shows all reports submitted within a specified date range.
The reports are available via the Miami Police Department's intranet website or by clicking on the below link.

*** FBR — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ***
1. WHEN ARE THE FBR REPORTS AVAILABLE TO BE VIEWED AND/OR PRINTED: The report is
available on the Report Application Server & Law Records Management System (LRMS) as
soon as it has been approved by the submitting officer's supervisor. In addition, the officers
have the ability to print the report from their vehicle to any printer in the department at any
time. For example, if a Domestic Violence detective requests a copy of the report, the officer
can print the report from his/her vehicle and the detective will receive the report on their unit
printer.
2. CAN REPORTS BE LOST OR DISAPPEAR INTO "CYBERSPACE"? Over the past 4 months,
over 390 reports have been created via FBR. Other than individual officer mistakes (Typically
Using the Wrong case#), no reports have been lost. In addition to the reports being transmitted
directly to the records unit, the officers have the ability to print copies of reports for
themselves, investigators, and commanders at any time.
3. WHEN WILL THE SYSTEM BE LIVE, WHEN SHOULD MY OFFICERS BEGIN USING FBR? The
system is live and in use now. Every officer, with a working MDC or who works the front desk,
should be generating their reports via the FBR system. An updated list of trained personnel
will be distributed in the near future.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions concerning the FBR system.
