Uploading data
Law enforcement agencies can upload data from .csv, .xml, and ATAC (.atx) databases using an automated desktop upload application, or using an online upload interface for manual uploads. Data uploads can be scheduled to occur at any time, and at any interval to ensure that the most up-to-date crime information is provided to the public.
Data offsets and victim privacy
Law enforcement agencies can choose to offset data to protect the privacy of victims. A number of options can be adjusted within the control panel based on the specific needs of each law enforcement agency.
