Mark43, a leading public safety operations platform, has announced its partnership with the Oakland Police Department (OPD) in a technology upgrade aimed at enhancing officer efficiency, compliance and data-driven policing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OPD is set to adopt Mark43\u2019s cloud-native Records Management System (RMS), OnScene mobile application and analytics platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located in the heart of the Bay Area, Oakland is home to over 400,000 residents, served by a dedicated force of approximately 650 sworn officers. Facing on-going operational and compliance challenges with its legacy on-premises system, OPD sought a future-proof solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis systems upgrade represents a real step forward in our broader effort to modernise our IT infrastructure and systems,\u201d said George Binda, Head of IT Enterprise Infrastructure for the City of Oakland. \u201cBy partnering with Mark43, we plan to provide our police department with secure, cloud-based technology that enables them to continue delivering high-quality public safety services to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OPD\u2019s upgrade to Mark43 comes amid a broader shift towards modernisation across the city. \u201cWe are moving ahead with purpose to retire systems that have reached their operational limits and bring in modern, reliable tools that give our officers the support they need to serve Oakland with confidence,\u201d said Dr Carlo M. Beckman, Head of Information Technology and Strategic Initiatives at OPD. \u201cWe want officers to come to work and feel supported, and that means better hardware like patrol vehicles or mobile computers and better software. Mark43 is a part of that vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd because it\u2019s in the cloud, we won\u2019t be weighed down by the technological debt that can come with legacy systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAcross California, there\u2019s a growing urgency to equip officers with technology that keeps pace with the demands of modern policing,\u201d said Bob Hughes, Chief Executive Officer at Mark43. \u201cWith Mark43, OPD is gaining a platform that delivers real-time data, faster reporting and smarter decision-making \u2014 all critical to serving communities safely and effectively. We\u2019re proud to help accelerate this statewide movement toward innovation that truly supports those on the front lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark43 RMS, built on AWS GovCloud, delivers premier security, efficiency and mobility. \u201cWhile our current RMS has served the Oakland Police Department well for more than two decades, it was designed for an earlier era,\u201d Dr Beckman said. \u201cMoving to Mark43 will align us with current federal reporting requirements and provide officers with a modern interface with built-in error checking to ease the shift from summary UCR data to detailed NIBRS submissions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark43 Analytics will power data-driven policing and real-time reporting across the department and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe anticipate that we will be able to automate large portions of weekly crime statistic compilation and data submission to the Department of Justice. Ultimately, we will be able to direct our community members to an online dashboard where crime statistics are always available. That level of visibility will be valuable for our officers, our leadership team and the public,\u201d Dr Beckman said. \u201cBy adopting Mark43, we are reinforcing OPD\u2019s commitment to data-informed operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This announcement reinforces Mark43\u2019s continued commitment to advancing public safety across California and follows recent partnerships with the Port of San Diego Harbor Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
