Chatham-Kent Police Services Selects OSL SOFTWARE Suite

Ottawa, Ontario - September 2004 - Our Software Ltd. (OSL) has signed an agreement with the Chatham-Kent Police Service with Headquarters located in Chatham, Ontario to provide the OSL Software Suite.  The police service has over 160 sworn officers providing law enforcement service to 110,000 residents of the 2,300 sq km Municipality of Chatham-Kent. 

The Chatham-Kent Police Service (CKPS) was created in 1998 as a result of amalgamating four municipal police services and the take over of Ontario Provincial Policing responsibilities in Kent County. 

Here is what our client had to say… 

“Since the amalgamation in 1998 the Service has merged different records and personnel file systems. The ultimate objective was to have a single system or source that when asked could provide all the information relating to a current or former employee. Even though we had merged various systems we still had to check different databases for information. Many of the reports that Administration requires for planning and budgeting had to be created separately, from information collected from various sources. The OSL Suite appears to meet, or exceed, the needs as recognized by a core group of staff, who to this point were responsible for tracking and recording the various information.” 

“Since the amalgamation the CKPS has viewed many time keeping / scheduling programs. However we came back to OSL due to it's being police oriented, the wealth of information that it stores and can be searched, the ease of use, flexibility of reports and data, available support, and always the cost.” 

“Even the employees currently doing the job recognize that this software will save considerable effort, time and ultimately money.”
