Get critical information on crime trends, bulletins, and alerts out to your constituents with Microsoft Sway. Sway lets you quickly and easily create effective and impactful presentations. Just write some background text, then import images, information from Excel, and more, and Sway does all the formatting and animations for you. Sway is browser-based and responsive, so your officers can stay engaged through any department-issued device while out in the field.

Oversee

It’s easy to collaborate with your officers wherever they are with Skype for Business. Officers on patrol won’t need to come off of the road for briefings or meetings. Giving a PowerPoint? Present it over Skype for Business so everyone can see the latest reports and bulletins remotely on their devices, and share relevant slides on Yammer within your organization or with outside agencies.

Capture

Almost all of the Office 365 productivity suite is available on most any device, so you can access the right tools at the right time, wherever you need them. Take notes in incident reports saved to OneNote, and easily add photos taken straight from your Surface tablet or Windows Phone. Then sync your notes to OneDrive for Business so other officers, detectives, and support staff can instantly get updates from the scene.

Access

OneDrive for Business takes the hassle out of getting the right information into the right hands, whenever it’s needed. Documents saved to OneDrive for Business can be securely accessed from anywhere, on most devices, only by authorized participants. Changes to your reports are automatically saved, and it’s easy to go back and review previous versions. Plus, integration with other tools in Office 365 lets you seamlessly share documents and manage them across familiar apps.

Analyze

You’ve got a lot of data for what’s already happened—patrol assignments, dispatched calls for service, hot spots for criminal activity. Now, use disparate data to predict what may happen next. Excel 2016 offers new predictive forecasting capabilities to help you make decisions about resources and tactics with greater confidence. Visualize your results with Power BI for even greater clarity and insight.

With integrated information rights management and data loss prevention, both Office 2016 and Office 365 make sure your sensitive data is more secure while it’s being shared. Set user rights, authentication, and password requirements to access your files. Built-in policy tips act as reminders to make sure you don’t accidentally share sensitive information with unauthorized users. Microsoft data encryption standards ensure your information is more secure.
