Shogun
Overview
Shogun is a software application package designed for use by
Police Firearms Licensing Departments. Its primary function is to
aid the administration and printing of Firearm Certificates, as
well as related certificates and permits.
The user interface makes use of the flexibility afforded by
Microsoft Windows. Firearms systems have to relate people,
certificates, weapons, land, ammunition and other information. With
Shogun, an operator can quickly retrieve information-
for example, who owns a firearm, who owned it previously, what
land a certificate holder is allowed to shoot on, who else is
authorised to shoot on the land.
System Benefits
- Access to a management information module. This package
contains a large number of queries and reports, including those
required for the Home Office and Scottish Office statistical
returns.
- Shogun Intranet is a software add-on product for Shogun
customers who wish to make available the information held in their
department, but need to be able to safeguard that information and
keep it secure.
- Because of the information on demand facility, the number of
enquiries and requests directed to the firearms-licensing offices
are likely to be dramatically reduced, enabling them to work more
efficiently by focusing on their core responsibilities.
