Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but CrimeCog will assume responsibility for maintaining service to DDP's 160 police agencies while offering them the opportunity to migrate to CrimeCog's E*Justice.
"This transaction provides the jump start needed to immediately help more than 160 Michigan police agencies to reduce costs and improve efficiency and effectiveness by setting the stage to become members of our E*Justice integrated justice network." Dennis Blanchette, CEO of CrimeCog Technologies, said. "Many more cities, townships and counties across Michigan will save money as they improve accuracy and increase safety through the linking of law enforcement agency and police records with the sheriff's jail operations and the prosecuting attorneys offices as we integrate DDP with E*Justice."
CrimeCog's E*Justice is unique, the company says, because it eliminates wasteful re-entering of data and is easy to learn and use. According the company, CrimeCog takes care of all the technology while departments maintain complete control of their data and are able to share selective information without jeopardizing a suspect's rights or the system's security. The CrimeCog E*Justice service can manage all forms of police reports, court records and information about prisoners in county jails or state prisons. It works seamlessly to track cases from incident report to incarceration and parole. It can work with existing victim notification systems
"I think our customers are going to be pleased with the stability and added value that CrimeCog Technologies, Inc. will bring to the DDP customer base," said Thomas Visser, vice president of operations at DDP Police Services. "This really helps me take the DDP customers to the next level and increase the value beyond what DDP was able to provide by itself."
