TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT

The Technology Management Bureau of the Mount Pleasant Police Department plays a pivotal role in assisting the entire department in completing its mission. Increased demands brought on by population growth and department expansion result in the constant creation and maintenance of administrative and support processes that are almost exclusively computer driven. The Technology Management Bureau is responsible for these operations and directly impacts the ability of the department to operate like a business. Records Management Systems (RMS), Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Crime Mapping, and numerous special projects are generated and implemented by this bureau.

RECORDS MANAGEMENT

Professional police entities are tasked with operating a records section that is organized and secure. The Mount Pleasant Police Department’s Records Section provides records management services that include archiving, maintenance, and retrieval of police reports that are generated by the department. This bureau interfaces with the S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED), and transmits incident data for statistical purposes. Having accessible and accurate reporting processes is critical to information management, prosecution of criminal offenses, and compliance with state
and federal regulations.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

The “lifeline” of any public safety agency is its telecommunications center. Without these pivotal “information brokers” the public and the police officers themselves are presented with a myriad of potentially fatal safety issues. The Mount Pleasant Police Department Telecommunications Center is responsible for dispatching police, fire and medical services to citizens of our community. Trained telecommunications specialists man the “911” System and coordinate emergency assistance for anyone in need. This division also maintains all telecommunications equipment designed for deaf persons as well as the department’s National Crime Information Center.

BUDGET/PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

This office is responsible for daily management and critical monitoring of the budget process, including reconciliation of the general ledger account detail.

The Property Management Office is responsible for the procurement, distribution, inventory and invoicing of all equipment and supplies used by sworn and non-sworn personnel of the police department. In addition, this office is the acting liaison between First Vehicle Services and police personnel as it relates to vehicle maintenance and repairs related to loss control.
