CAPS has developed some of the most advanced law enforcement support software systems that exist. Being housed in a computer science department, we have access to software design and development experts who constantly stay abreast of the most recent developments. We rarely consider a system to be completed and turn it over to “maintenance” in the traditional sense. Instead the most recent version serves as a prototype for the next version, in which technology is often incorporated that did not even exist when designing the previous version. Rapid prototyping and agile design techniques are used to provide users and stakeholders with a clear picture of what is possible so that they can enter into the design process. Their involvement continues right through beta testing, and the software is continually adjusted to their needs throughout the design and development process. The list below includes some of the major products that CAPS has generated.

AlaCOP

Alabama Communications and Operations Portal, the unique information system for law enforcement information within Alabama. AlaCOP is the umbrella system for a host of information and security systems, including the Active Directory Authentication and Processing Tool (ADAPT), and the Law Enforcement Tactical System (LETS).
