This is a technical specification diagram for a Situational Awareness Dashboard system developed for the City of Minneapolis Police and Fire Departments under an RFP for Public Safety Technical Support. The document outlines a CJIS-compliant cloud-based solution designed to integrate with existing Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems while maintaining operational continuity through read-only connections. The system architecture includes data ingestion from customer CAD systems via configurable polling profiles with agency-specific refresh intervals, transmission of CAD data over encrypted HTTPS to a CJIS-compliant cloud environment hosted on AWS GovCloud, and distribution of live data to multiple receiver devices through encrypted HTTPS connections with per-device token authentication. The solution provides configurable display layouts supporting multiple visual styles and components, with a self-service client content management portal for digital signage features, and requires no special network infrastructure beyond customer-provided Ethernet or WiFi connectivity.

The system emphasizes security and compliance throughout its architecture, with end-to-end encrypted data transport, individual receiver authentication, and local logging of all interface activity for audit and compliance purposes. Integration is developed and maintained by BCA-approved, CJIS-certified engineers, ensuring standards adherence and ongoing technical support. The solution is designed to bridge the operational needs of public safety departments with technical application functionality while maintaining the integrity and performance of production dispatch operations through its non-invasive read-only CAD connection approach.
