SPOTLIGHT Per the City Commission Highlights reported by Public Information Officer Pam Spencer: "Public Information Officer Pam Spencer invited Network Administrator Eric Stuber and Acting Assistant Police Chief Brandon Barnhill to demonstrate the Police Department's internal software program that was designed and implemented by Stuber. The customized program called the Police Department Portal was written in-house saving the City approximately $30,000. Plus, there are no maintenance contracts or future development costs. The software improves internal communication, reduces the amount of paper used in the department, and prevents the duplication of information. Officers can view the information from any networked computer and through the wireless hotspots around the City. Prior to the implementation of the software, daily logs of information were kept in a three-ring binder."
