Developed, constructed, and
implemented a computer
database system for a police
department's collection of
bank robbery notes.
Collections of used robbery
notes can consist of
hundreds, even thousands of
individual notes. Now when a
new robbery note is received
for analysis, the entire
database of previously used
notes can be search in
seconds. Currently in use in
both the NYPD and Nassau
County Police Department.
