Satellite Tracking Of People 46
Chapter 8: USER ADMINISTRATION
VeriTracks™ allows users to administer their own account information, select the types of
notifications they need to receive, and create zones. A section under Administration was also
included for agency administrators to manage users and for smaller law enforcement agencies to input
its own crime incident data when it does not have its own system for this function.
Menu Options
Incident
The Incident Data Entry option is available for smaller law enforcement agencies that do not have an
automated Crime Incident entry system already in place, like a CAD system or RMS. Electronic
formatting of data is required in order to feed it into VeriTracks™. This function will not be used by
most agencies
User Accounts
Each agency will have an administrator account assigned to manage user accounts. This menu option
is accessible only by your agency administrator. Administrators can create users as needed and
modify user information. Procedures for the Agency Administrator are covered Appendix 4.
Zone
This menu option is another way of accessing the Zone creation screen described in Chapter 4.
Preferences
There are two types of users defined within VeriTracks™: Law Enforcement Officers/Crime
Analysts and Supervising Officers/Probation Officers. The Preferences menu allows the user to
modify his/her own account and select the types of notifications he/she needs to receive from
VeriTracks™. In addition, the user can set up how he/she wants his/her default map layers displayed.
Each of these options are accessed by clicking on the appropriate folder tab.
