Computer-based system for facilitating the execution of law enforcement duties

A computer-based system for facilitating the execution of law enforcement duties, said computer-based system comprising:

• a data processing and records management system including one or more computers with one or more processors and one or more data storage means operatively coupled to said one or more processors, said one or more data storage means storing a database of field interview cards and subject packets thereon, said data processing and records management system being configured and arranged to:
• generate a field interview card screen for display on a first local digital computer or first mobile digital device of a first system user, said field interview card screen comprising at least one of a subject or vehicle information section for receiving information about one or more particular subjects or one or more particular vehicles, said subject or vehicle information section of said field interview card screen including a first visual object for adding a subject or vehicle to a field interview card;
• receive initial input data from said first system user for populating said field interview card screen so as to create a populated field interview card;
• when said first system user selects said first visual object for adding said subject or vehicle to said populated field interview card, automatically initiate a search for any descriptive data in said database that corresponds to one or more items of said initial input data received from said first system user;
• when said data processing and records management system determines that a match exists between said one or more items of said initial input data and any said descriptive data for said subject or vehicle in said database, display said descriptive data for said subject or vehicle on said field interview card screen for viewing by said first system user;
• generating a second visual object on said field interview card screen for creating said populated field interview card in said database;
• when said first system user selects said second visual object for creating said populated field interview card in said database, create a summary entry of said populated field interview card in an intelligence section of a dashboard screen of said first system user, the summary entry including at least an intelligence type identifier, a concise content descriptor for said populated field interview card, and a third visual object for opening the entire content of said populated field interview card;
• when said first system user selects said third visual object on said dashboard screen, said entire content of said populated field interview card is displayed to said first system user;
• provide one or more other system users access to said populated field interview card;
• receive subsequent input data for further populating said field interview card screen from at least one of said one or more other system users;
• and
• generate and send a notification to at least said first system user in real-time when at least one of said other system users views said populated field interview card and/or adds additional information to said populated field interview card;
• and
• said data processing and records management system being further configured and arranged to:
• receive a search query from a second local digital computer or second mobile digital device of a second system user that contains information within one or more particular field interview cards or one or more subject packets, each of said one or more subject packets having a corresponding status classification, said status classification comprising a suspected status of unlawful activity or illegal condition or a confirmed status of unlawful activity or illegal condition;
• conduct a search in real-time for said information in said one or more particular field interview cards or said one or more subject packets by accessing said database of field interview cards and subject packets;
• determine whether a match exists between said information and any one of said field interview cards or said subject packets in said database;
• when said match is found not to exist between said information and any of said field interview cards or said subject packets in said database, generate and send a negative response to said second local digital computer or second mobile digital device of said second system user;
• and
• when said match is found to exist between said information and any of said field interview cards or said subject packets in said database, generate and send a confirmation response to said second local digital computer or second mobile digital device of said second system user.
