OWL's Case Management module is a comprehensive software solution designed to facilitate and streamline the management of cases, investigations, and related data. It serves as a centralized system to organize, track, and analyze information related to investigations, incidents, and other activities. OWL's Case Management module aims to improve efficiency, collaboration, and accuracy in handling investigations, ultimately contributing to enhanced public safety and the administration of justice.

  • Accounts subscribed to the Whooster software edition will not have access to the Case Management module.  This will prevent the organization from having the ability to create records such as, cases, subjects, tips and leads, forms, evidence, audio-video reports, and all other features within the Case Management module.  To upgrade, please contact your super administrator.

Case Management

 

Cases

Cases are the Centralized repository for storing and managing details of each case and its Subjects.
Attachment capabilities for adding documents, images, videos, and other relevant files to case records. Keep notes and organizing all data related to the Subjects involved in the case.

Subject

The subject of an investigation is an individual, entity, or object that is the primary focus or target of the investigative process. In the context of various fields such as law enforcement, intelligence, corporate security, or regulatory compliance, the subject of an investigation is the person, group, or thing under scrutiny due to suspicions or allegations of involvement in unlawful and unethical, or inappropriate activities.

Data Queries

In the context of an investigation, querying databases is a crucial aspect of gathering relevant information. The specific data queries conducted will depend on the nature of the investigation and the type of information needed from the various data sources connected to OWL via API or within the OWLvault (databases built within OWL). 

Forms

OWL Form Module allows users to customize (via the OWL template manager) all forms used by Law Enforcement and Government Agencies. Law enforcement and government agencies often use a variety of forms to collect and manage information related to their operations, investigations, and interactions with the public. These forms serve as standardized means of documenting data, ensuring accuracy, and maintaining consistency across different processes.

Information Sharing

Information sharing between law enforcement and government agencies is critical for effective collaboration, crime prevention, and national security. The ability to share information efficiently enables different agencies to work together, coordinate efforts, and respond more effectively to various challenges.  THE OWL Information Sharing feature allows third-party agencies or outside analysts, agents etc. to submit information and attach documents, pictures, video and audio files directly into the OWL platform.

TIPS & Leads

OWL's "Tip Information Program" is an online web based system established to encourage the public to provide anonymous tips, information, or leads about criminal activities, suspicious behaviors, or other relevant matters.

Audit Logs

OWL's audit logs refer to the detailed records and logs of activities and events that occur within the OWL application. These logs capture information about user interactions, system changes, security events, and other activities within the OWL environment. The purpose of maintaining audit logs is to enhance security, compliance and accountability by providing a comprehensive and chronological record of what happens within the OWL platform.
