THE SYSTEM IS A MEDIUM FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION BY ALL CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES, AND WILL EVENTUALLY INCLUDE LAW ENFORCEMENT, COURT, AND CORRECTIONS INFORMATION. IT NOW LINKS 34 OF THE COUNTY'S 41 POLICE AGENCIES WITH A CENTRAL COMPUTER. CLEMIS IS PLANNED TO PROVIDE ULTIMATELY A COMPUTERIZED CRIMINAL JUSTICE NETWORK. BUILT AROUND TWO IBM SYSTEM/370 MODEL 148'S, IT UTILIZES IBM 3270 VISUAL DISPLAY TERMINALS. IT OPERATES 24 HOURS A DAY EVERY DAY, AND CONNECTS WITH FILES OF THE NATIONAL CRIME INFORMATION CENTER, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION NETWORK OF THE MICHIGAN STATE POLICE, AND THE OFFICE OF THE MICHIGAN SECRETARY OF STATE. DATA ENTRY AND INQUIRY OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL FILES ARE ACCOMPLISHED ON THE SAME TERMINALS, LOCATED IN LOCAL POLICE AGENCIES. DEPARTMENTAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REPORTS ARE ISSUED THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM HAS MET WITH AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. IT PROVIDES FOR ACCURATE AND MEANINGFUL INVESTIGATIVE AND ARREST REPORTS, MORE ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF THE PATROL OFFICER'S WORK, QUICK INQUIRY CAPABILITY WHICH PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FACTOR IN POLICE WORK, AND ADDED ADMINISTRATIVE CAPABILITIES IN JURISDICTION ASSESSMENT.
