SMART is a Windows application offering a fully auditable and secure method of managing defensive and offensive urban searches, as well as larger scale rural searches (e.g. missing persons).

Intended for use mainly on a mobile device (e.g. laptop), the system is designed to be used by a search supervisor out in the field.

WPC Software believes it has developed a software package that can really make a difference to an organisation and improve its efficiency when tackling the management and administration of a variety of searches.

Some of the benefits that SMART provides include:

• The ability to easily and quickly draw diagrams of urban areas, allowing the search supervisor to accurately plan and manage police searches.

• A full audit log recording the outcome of search activities and the decisions made in the process.

• The facility to define zones and areas on map images for the co-ordination of largescale and rural searches.

• The ability to highlight specific areas of a search as high/medium/low risk, colourcoded as red/amber/green.

• Recording of digital photographs and media to aid briefings.

• The ability to scan or import building plans for use as an underlay in search diagrams.

• The recording of the location where exhibits were recovered, as well as details and the exhibit itself.

• Management of equipment and search teams.
