With a mounting backlog of arrest warrants numbering in the tens of thousands, officers struggling to access important information in a timely fashion, and dangerous fugitives slipping through the cracks, Lt. John Harvey of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) was determined to do something. By integrating a number of Microsoft® products, most notably, Microsoft Visual FoxPro® 9.0, a system was created that addresses many of the problems the SCSO faced. This new, cost-conscious system, known as the Wireless Apprehension Solution Project (WASP), has greatly increased the effectiveness of the law enforcement officers in the field, more than doubled productivity for the agencies using it, and has filled in most of the cracks that the fugitives were far too often slipping though.
