How many of you work in a job where the accuracy of your work is checked everyday by not only your supervisor, but also an outside third party? And, what if the information about your accuracy was shared not only within your company, but it also became a matter of public record?
In City government, the employees in the Records Unit in our Police Department works in this atmosphere. Police records technicians code the data in police reports and do data entry of a great deal of information, including offenses, clearances, stolen and recovered property, and arrests, into the City’s records management system. That data is then transferred electronically to the Minnesota’s state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program which in turn submits information to the FBI’s national UCR Program. You can see why it’s so important that the information is entered correctly.
In July this group had a total of 716 transactions with no errors. That’s zero errors. The group usually ranks in the 98th or 99th percentile for accuracy, but 100 percent is outstanding and reflects the teamwork, dedication, and hard work of this group.
Congratulations to the Police Department’s records unit– records technicians Stacy Boyer, Julie Bergstrom, Sandy Kelly, Jenna Scadden, Pat Sullivan, and Tina Zucchi, and customer service representative Carri Haberle. It’s their hard work that moves critical information from the law enforcement system into the legal system so that we can all, eventually, see justice served.
Our Records Unit does outstanding work. Thanks for a job well done.
