Law Enforcement Software
A query vehicle
returns a summary display list, up to a maximum of 25 records from the
Crimestar RMS Master Vehicle Index file that specifically match the search
criteria provided. If the search criteria to too broad, the result
of the query may contain more than 25 records. If/when this happens
the MDC controller will not return a summary list of vehicles, but rather
notify the requesting MDC that too many records matched and the search
criteria should be narrowed.
The query vehicle command activates a popup dialog window that allows the
user to specify either a license plate, VIN # or owner name. The
search may be conducted using any or all of the search criteria fields.
This form contains no default values except for the Local, Reg and
Warrant search options which are defaulted to ON. After entering
the desired vehicle search criteria click the TRANSMIT button. Note
that the TRANSMIT button can be activated using the ALT+T accelerator
key sequence.
When the query
vehicle summary list is returned, it shows the vehicle license plate,
state, year, make, model, and vehicle style. The license plate field
serves as a link to return a specific vehicle detail record for the selected
record. The number of records returned in a summary list can be controlled
via the MAX_SUMMARY_MATCH INI setting on the controller.
The license
plate state field used on the query vehicle form is selected from a list
of pre-defined or authorized codes downloaded from the Crimestar RMS/CAD
database via the MDC controller. To load or re-load the codes used by
the MDC, select LOAD EDIT CODE TABLES from the Options menu.
