Setting up a multi jurisdiction System

TraCS can be set up to have multiple agencies located in one system. Managing document numbers in this type of system is crucial.

NOTE: This is just for Law Enforcement Agencies, satellite agencies use the same location ID as the agency hosting them. Satellite agencies have Location ID’s greater than 2000 and do not get incorporated into the document number.

• Do create a separate admin account for each agency and use this separate account for all tasks in this section. NOTE: All citations need to be ordered using a separate user ID as they are ordered using the Location ID of the agency.

• It is critical not to mix up distributions.

• Keep a separate distribution for each Agency.

• Maintain separate network locations for each agency.
