THIS FILM DESCRIBES THE TULSA (OK) MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION CENTER WHICH CONTAINS POLICE RECORDS AND OTHER CRIME INVESTIGATION INFORMATION.
Abstract
THE CENTER CONTAINS A COMPUTER RECORD OF MICROFILMED DOCUMENTS WHICH CAN BE RETRIEVED AND VIEWED VIA A TERMINAL WITH CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION. THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO REPLACE THE CUMBERSOME MANUAL FILES. STORED RECORDS INCLUDE 'RAP' SHEETS, SUSPECT IDENTIFICATIONS, MUG SHOTS, AND FINGERPRINTS. IN ADDITION, EVIDENCE FOUND THROUGH CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION IS ALSO CODED AND STORED IN THE COMPUTER. FILM COMMENTATORS ADVOCATE THIS SYSTEMS APPROACH TO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, AND REAL-LIFE INVESTIGATION SCENES ARE DEPICTED....TWH
