Automation of Daily Reports: Putting Power in the User's Hands
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Authors: Tamera Hewitt

At the Dallas Police Department we put out numerous daily, weekly, and monthly reports. These reports consist of numerous maps and statistics. We were already utilizing the modeling capability available in ArcGIS Desktop to streamline the map making process but were determined to find an easier way to deliver the maps. Combing the modeling in Desktop with ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online we have created a simpler and more efficient way of delivering these daily reports. By creating services we were able to reduce the amount of time it took to render our new data on the map and by using ArcGIS Online we were able to quickly output a web application that we only had to setup one time and our viewers could access at any time.
