Torc - Briefing System
Bluestar’s Torc software is unique among briefing packages because it combines powerful automatic data collection utilities with a feature rich graphical environment for capturing information. Torc can also use the same mechanisms to integrate with existing duty roster or personnel systems to keep up to date with changes to the Force structure. The briefing 'home' page contains the relevant 'area log' for the user and offers a choice of briefings available for selections. The choice of area is determined by either the personal preference set up by the individual, or from the operational area they are assigned to. The log includes the latest messages and updates from area commanders and supervisors. Users can then select a briefing or summary of their choice. Torc produces briefings and summaries based upon organisational structure, job role or location. Subject to the privileges configured by system administrators, there is no limit to the number of briefings or summaries a user may select. Summaries are reduced briefings that only show the data that has been captured automatically. The default period summaries can extend to 31 days in contrast to briefings that are typically based on a variety of time bands, for example, 1, 3 or 5 day periods. Briefings and Summaries Briefing sheets typically commence with the display of the current nominal or area targets for the relevant briefing group. Hierarchical briefings also display all targets entered by subordinate groups. Users with relevant privileges add targets by either searching for existing nominals or by adding new ones. Target images can also be added manually or associated automatically. Other briefing elements added through the graphical interface include patrol alerts and open briefings. EDRs (Estimated Date of Releases) are either added manually or are captured automatically from a data source. The remainder of the briefing sheet consists of information that has been automatically collected or generated. For example, the crimes (and other events) occurring within the current area are displayed on maps built from the Bluestar mapping engine. Each section for the different event types can also support the configuration of a hierarchy to allow users to gain access to more detail. The inclusion and ordering of sections is configurable by the local system administrators and may be updated at any time. |

Accessing More Information Investigating particular trends may require further analysis and research to be carried out. This can be completed successfully using the link to the main Corvus repository that is accessed from the initial briefing menu. Each type of event is typically assigned a specific search page that allows users to interrogate the entire data set. The Bluestar performance guarantee applies to any and all search requests, so high performance is standard. Fully Integrated Torc is also fully integrated with the Endeavour Tasking System, the Single Enterprise View (SEV) and the PPO (Prolific and other Priority Offenders) system allowing the full history for an individual to be displayed. This also provides the ability to add up to date details using the information log facility. Attachment Manager A variety of complex data types may be associated with briefing items including documents and images. Complex data can be managed both automatically and manually using the attachment manager. For example, images can be automatically loaded directly from the custody system or added manually from other sources.
