This app allows RIPA data collection within the Profiling Accountability Software Solution (PASS), which enables law enforcement agencies to address two separate work processes within one application. Often, officers and deputies are required to collect detailed biographical information about individuals when they conduct traffic stops or make various other contacts with citizens of their community. The information collected during this contact with an individual is then used to prepare Field Investigation Reports or Cards (FIRs/FICs), and to create various other reports. In cases where information requires escalation, PASS electronically routes the report to the appropriate specialized unit or department. Do not download this app unless your department uses PASS for RIPA data collection.
