Chief’s Corner Message from Police Chief Todd Elgin
The Garden Grove Police Department recently purchased a state of the art software system from Spillman Technologies that virtually manages the entire operations of the police department. The fully-integrated software was installed in September 2015 and controls functions such as dispatch, records
management, report writing, evidence, mobile communications, and crime analysis. The system also allows the public to access crime information in near real-time. In a day when transparency is vital, we are excited to provide features like this to our community. The new public system includes a crime dashboard and a crime map. It works like the dashboard in a car giving viewers a snapshot of the overall crime picture. The crime map will plot crimes, calls for service and compares recent crime activity to previous years for more accurate statistics. Both systems are user friendly and contain timely information. Captain Travis Whitman facilitated the new system and said, “We now live in an ‘information on demand’ society. With the public’s help, we’ll be able to quickly respond to identified crime and community problems and together, make a bigger impact.” “Our recent crime rate has jumped at an alarming rate of 40%. The police department’s community policing philosophy depends heavily on community involvement to reduce crime. Partnering with the community is an important strategy to combat crime.” We will be introducing this new technology during neighborhood watch and community meetings. You can also access the public dashboard and crime map on the Police Departments web page, www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/police. We encourage residents and business owners to access the webpage for up to date crime information. - Todd D. Elgin, Police Chief
