New World Systems Automates
Galveston, Texas, Police Department
TROY, Mich., Oct. 23, 2000--New World Systems, a leading provider of
software solutions for the public sector, announced today that Galveston (TX) Police Department has
signed a $1.4 million contract to install its Aegis(R) Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Aegis Records
Management and Aegis/MSP Mobile Computing software.
The city of Galveston is looking forward to automating their agencies' operations and increasing the
accessibility to key information among law enforcement personnel with New World's Public Safety suite
of software.
After four years spent researching public safety software vendors, Galveston chose New World
Systems based on its products and New World's reputation with its customers. Galveston
representatives visited customer sites of various public safety software vendors, and New World's
customers were consistent in their recommendation of the software, the service and support, and the
company itself. The agency decided that New World's products and services met its needs.
"We have already began re-evaluating personnel assignments, because the new system will drastically
reduce our day to day data entry responsibilities and increase our agencies' efficiency," said Lieutenant
Mike Putnal. "Easy retrieval of information was a key feature in New World's software package, and I
predict a 100% improvement in case processing and the ability to increase the solvability for our
officers."
The Galveston law enforcement agency has 165 sworn officers and services 64 square miles holding
a population of 60,000. But, the Galveston Island is 45 miles south of Houston and is a major tourist
attraction in the area. The fluctuating population of the Texas island can mean up to 240,000 people each
weekend and up to 500,000 for special events, such as Mardi Gras and spring break. Galveston is a
unique municipality that required a robust public safety system to meet its everyday needs as a
community, as well as the demands of its unpredictable population. The project is scheduled for
completion by the end of the year.
New World Systems is a public sector software company in Troy, Michigan that has provided
software solutions for public safety and public administration organizations since 1981. New World has
more than 500 customers, comprised of more than 1200 public safety agencies across the United States
and beyond.
