This section provides an overview of a typical Law Enforcement workflow.

Depending on how Genetec Patroller™ is configured, some of these tasks may not apply to your particular situation. For example, Genetec Patroller™ administrators can disable Manual capture, in which case it won’t be part of your workflow.

Before you begin your patrol

These are the common tasks to perform before you begin patrolling. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact the Genetec Patroller™ administrator before starting your patrol.

A vehicle that isn’t on a downloaded hotlist can be entered as a New wanted vehicle any time during your shift.
  • Manually capture a plate
Capture a plate manually, such as when a plate isn’t in the Sharp camera’s field of view.
