  • Patent number: 6173284
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products provide for monitoring information or police reports in a police database, including newly entered reports, for matches to predefined profiles. The predefined profiles are established by police officers, and may include one or more request terms (i.e., request data), a frequency term and notification information for the officer who defined the profile. The frequency term indicates how often the police database is searched for matches to the profile. The notification information is utilized to send notification to the police officer or group of officers that defined the profile when a match occurs.
