About A.L.E.I.R.

Police report writing and dispatch software from Missouri

A.L.E.I.R. stands for Automated Law Enforcement Incident Report. It is a computerized records management and dispatch package for law enforcement and security agencies, produced by R.S. Technologies, a company in Festus, Missouri. The maker says it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, stores its data in a MySQL or MariaDB server, and combines word processing and data processing in one program. The site states that the software is free to use.

Writing and finding reports

The core job is incident reporting. According to the maker, the system lets an agency write any number of original and supplemental incident reports, criminal and non-criminal, and keeps everything under the original case number, so that supplemental reports attach to the same case. Reports can be found again by searching on the incident location, the people involved, the vehicles involved or the property involved. The same database gives public safety and security managers a way to watch any category of crime, criminal activity and related statistics across a district or a whole community.

The package collects the data an agency needs to compile and submit national incident-based reporting (NIBRS) figures, and the Missouri version includes forms specific to the state.

Modules in the Missouri version

The demonstration build described on the site includes:

A classic incident report with a supplemental report.
The Missouri uniform crash report.
An alcohol influence report form.
A field booking form.
A computer aided dispatch module with its own main screen.
A module for the federal campus crime disclosure law, which college and university police departments use to produce their annual campus security report.

Screen shots of the forms and a training manual for the uniform incident report are published for agencies that want to see how the screens work before committing.

Where and how it runs

The program can run on a standalone computer or across a local or wide area network, with many users sharing the same data at once if the maker customizes and supports a department's installation. Officers can also write reports from a mobile data terminal connected to the internet in a patrol vehicle. Downloads are offered for Windows, 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and 64-bit Mac OS X, with setup notes for each.

The demonstration option

Agencies can try the program in two ways: by downloading it and saving data to the maker's own test server, or by pointing it at a local database server of their own. The maker warns that anything entered on the test server is visible to every other person using the demonstration, so only test data should be entered. The site gives its last update as April 2025.
