Please,.. don't get me wrong! I totally agree that everyone must upgrade. The system we have for our in house computer SUCKS ....7 years ago it was our first system, the sales person sold our laison the package.. it was our first system so maybe he was a little naive or eager, for 96 years our dept was recording manually. Now there is new , improved, faster, operator friendly systems and we are LOCKED in because of budget restraints, and costs. All of last year we WERE getting a new system. The new company says we can change your history and records over to our system. They try and try and they can't convert the information. We call our current company..response.." that info is secretly coded, you can have that code for 15,000 or whatever $ was" Now the additional start up cost, cost of training personnel to a new system, early glitches, UCR reporting ( which is very scrutinized by the state police in NJ), submitting old reports and new systems reports together with no errors for 3 consecutive months before new system is approved by the state police to even use.
