Omnigo Incident Reporting Software Purchased

Submitted by vicki.thompson on Thu, 05/03/2018 - 15:40

As some of you may know, we recently purchased a new incident reporting system, Omnigo. It will be a more centralized process for filing reports and analyzing them. Staff will be able to see reports filed at all locations. And it will be easier for Security to gather more in-depth automated data and reports system-wide. We expect to launch the new system and training after Summer Reading, possibly in September.
