OSSI Mobile Computing Modules & Interfaces
SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI wireless technology extends the power of SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI Computer-Aided Dispatch (OSSI CAD) system to mobile users. SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI Mobile Computing Application (OSSI MCT) improves efficiency in the field as well as in the office. OSSI MCT provides voiceless dispatch; status updates; car-to-CAD messaging; car-to-car messaging; and queries including local, state, and national warrant checks, stolen vehicle and property information, mug shots, and records management information. These features provide an increased level of safety for responding units, offer instantaneous access to information about calls, and maximize the efficiency of the agencies’ resources.

Mobile Computing Technology Modules
Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) Display – OSSI AVL software for the OSSI MCT allows users to have a “moving map display” in their vehicles and transmit their locations to the OSSI CAD. OSSI CAD users are able to display and track vehicles equipped with the AVL software.
Digital Dispatch – OSSI MCT allows the unit to receive and transmit digital (silent) dispatching, car-to-car, and car-to-console messaging, premises and call information, and perform local, state, and NCIC queries.
Handheld Mobile Application – The Handheld Mobile Application extends the power of the OSSI MCT to a wireless handheld device. The Handheld Mobile Application is an extension of SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI fully-integrated mobile computing system, providing capabilities for voiceless dispatch, status updates, car-to-CAD messaging, car-to-car messaging, and queries to access information, including local, state, and national warrant checks, stolen vehicle and property information, mug shots, and records management information.
Magnetic Stripe Reader Interface – The Magnetic Stripe Reader Interface allows officers to swipe a driver’s license which spills information, including name, DOB, address, and other demographic information, into the mobile users’ terminal for use in field reporting.
Maps – OSSI MCT allows officers in the field to view maps, automatically display the location of a CAD event, and view multiple layers of the same map available in CAD. Maps also allow officers to pin map mobile search results.
Message Switch – The Message Switch software includes a query interface from the SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI Application to the state computer system and to the FBI’s NCIC system via the state system.
Mobile Computing Technology Interfaces
Emergency Technologies, Inc. (ETI) – The Emergency Technologies Mobile Client Interface allows the ETI Mobile to request CAD information via the OSSI Mobile. From within the ETI mobile package, the user can see events that were dispatched to the mobile.
Fire RMS – FireHouse – This interface provides MCT units access to specific occupancy data stored in FireHouse Software® while responding to emergencies. Units will be provided with critical real time preplan data while en route and on scene.
Pictometry® Interface – This interface allows the OSSI CAD, CAD Resource Monitor (CRM), or Mobile Communications Terminal (OSSI MCT) to pass coordinate information to the Pictometry Visual Intelligence (PVI) Mapping Application, which displays the appropriate PVI color aerial photos.
Zoll Patient Care Reporting – OSSI MCT/CAD offers a one-way interface with Zoll Patient Care Reporting Software (Zoll). OSSI CAD publishes detailed incident information in an XML file that Zoll retrieves and processes for use within their product line.
Mobile Field Reporting
SunGard Public Sector’s OSSI Mobile Field Reporting (OSSI MFR) application provides an efficient means of generating and submitting Incident, Supplement, Field Contact, and Accident reports in the field. Once completed, reports are wirelessly sent to a supervisor for review. The report may be instantly returned to the reporting officer for correction, if necessary. Once approved, the reports are wirelessly submitted to the agency’s Law Enforcement Records Management System (OSSI RMS). The report then becomes accessible and can be searched in the agency’s RMS.
Mobile Field Reporting Modules
Accident – OSSI MFR Accident Module allows officers in the field to prepare traffic crash reports. Accident diagram functionality may be added with the optional Microsoft Visio®-enabled OSSI Accident Wizard Module.
Arrest – The Mobile Arrest Module allows officers in the field to capture data for the Arrest Module in OSSI RMS.
Arrest Affidavit – This agency-specific module allows users to create and print the local Arrest Affidavit from the field. The arrest data is transferred to the OSSI RMS Arrest Module.
Canine Tracking – This module is designed to collect information related to activities where a K-9 team has become involved. The module will allow for collection of both training and working activities.
Citation – The Mobile Citation Module allows officers in the field to capture data from the written state citation form.
Field Review – The Field Review Module allows officers to submit reports wirelessly (via the RF Network) for supervisor’s review. The supervisor may then approve the report or deny the report and return the report (via RF Network) to the officer for correction. Once approved, the reports are wirelessly submitted to the agency’s RMS.
Handheld Citation – The Handheld Citation Module allows users to capture state-specific citation information using a handheld device. The module also allows for printing the citation in the field as well as signature collection.
Incident/Offense – The Incident/Offense Module allows officers to enter Incident Reports and associated Supplement Reports. Officers can perform basic IBR and UCR edit checks on these reports. Upon completion, each report is submitted for supervisor review.
MFR LAN Version – The Mobile Field Reporting LAN Version allows officers to enter their Incident Reports, Supplement Reports, Field Contacts, and Supervisory Review on the agency’s RMS LAN. They can also perform basic IBR or UCR edits on Incident Reports. The Module provides a Notes field in each module (Incident, Supplements, and Field Contacts) to capture the narrative and also provides spell-check capability.
Parking Ticket Administration – The Parking Ticket Administration Module allows users to record issued parking violations including vehicle, owner, and violation information. The module also tracks the payment status and any associated late fees based on agency-defined policies.
Racial Profiling – The Racial Profiling Module allows officers to document required traffic stop information from their mobile computers, MobLAN or RMS.
