Interview of Chief of Adrian’s Police Department Kyle
Strickland:
Please tell us your name & Problems your
department faced before implementing omniQ:
“My name's Chief Kyle Strickland with the Adrian
Police Department. Well, when I first took over, we had a major
problem with drug areas and gas drive off thefts from our
convenience store. Different things lie on those lines and I was
looking for a solution to keep up with what tags were in what area,
what vehicles come through, how to help in our investigation in the
gas drive offs or thefts or whatever.
And so, when we first looked into it, that was
my major issue was we needed kind of another set of eyes out there
24/7.
What is the first word that comes to mind when you think
of omniQ?
Its a force multiplier! With Qshield we
investigated and solved a total of 23 gas drive offs at our local
store because of the cameras. Had it not been for that, we just get
a general description of the vehicle to, a general direction of
travel, a general time. We go back, we look, and we'd just start an
investigation from there. Most of them have been non-intentional,
just forgotten to pay or whatever the case may be. But there's been
one or two that have become an issue.
The second thing that has been the best that I'm
so proud of that I've told everybody, We had a missing person
reported on October the 30th of 2021. It was reported that night,
actually in the next community over, which is Johnson County.
Johnson County got in touch with me that night. We searched his tag
number. Once we got it, and we got a picture of his car that
morning, it was the only picture that's circulated nationwide for
four days until we got one at the Jet food store of a front view of
his car.
And so, we have not found him yet. However, that
is instrumental in that investigation. Now, I've checked it to make
sure he hadn't come back through or that tag hadn't come back
through. So that's really good for us to be able to investigate if
there's a missing person or a child abduction or anything along
those lines. We can go back and look, see if they come through
here.
How has omniQ helped
the surrounding counties with investigations?
We had a stolen vehicle from Trenton County one
time. They called and we looked. At least we could tell them they
didn't come through here. We don't know where they went, but they
didn't come through Adrian. Or at least through the red light. So
that it's instrumental. It helps in those areas.
Why is having this solution so important to your
agency?
We're a part-time agency. So I have somebody
essentially here 24 hours a day now, because we have this solution.
You get a call in the middle of the night and whatever may happen,
you can look it up. You can look up live view. You can look up the
tags. You'd know somebody is here 24 hours a day and you're not
having to pay that salary and those benefits, I mean, it benefits
you. So it's just, it's top of the line. It's a force multiplier.
It really is. Then you always know you have that solution you can
fall back on or go back to.
How has your experience with
omniQ’s staff been?
My experience with this stuff so far has been
exceptional. Mr. Bill and I have worked together since day one,
since we first started getting into the planning stage. He calls me
at least once a week, if not more. I mean, if we don't have
business, at least once a week check, "Hey, chief, how's everything
going? You need anything?". The guy that installed the equipment
also communicates with me regulary,. If I have any issues or if I
have any problems pulling something up on a computer, I have called
Bill at one o'clock in the morning, like, "Hey Bill, I don't know
how to do this, and I've had a situation I need to know." He's
like, "Don't worry about it." He got it and he sends me whatever I
need, or he walks me through it.
it's been exceptional customer support,
exceptional help. A matter of fact, I called Bill one night. I
think he was on vacation. I mean, he answered just like that. I
told him, I said, "I hate to bother you so late." I think it was
around 10 o'clock at night. He's like, "No, call me anytime." I
told him what I needed and he walked me through it and we actually
had it down pat within about 10 or so minutes. And so, he's really
helpful. He really is. The staff so far has been really helpful and
really intelligent. It's really good to have good people to work
with.
How has having
Qshield given law enforcement peace of
mind?
I feel so much better having this solution as
chief, as a father, as a citizen, as a person in general. For
example say imagine if your car gets stolen and you call it in, I
can get about a general direction of travel. It just helps our
investigation a hundred percent. If a child, God forbid, gets
abducted from the next county over and they're heading here, we can
know where they're heading to hopefully set up to intervene as
quickly as possible so we can get that child back to their family.
Or a missing person, if we find out as soon as we can, we get that
information, we can set up to intervene or help find this person
and get them back to their family.
Because I can't imagine what the people here at
local are through with this missing person, not knowing what
happened, not knowing where he's at, or even if he's okay or alive.
Just it's instrumental in that, just to know, okay, well we have
one step closer to being able to solve these investigations than we
had without them. It's just really nice to know and I can go home
at night and know, okay, well, if something happens to one of my
officers, I don't have to guess where they went or where the
suspect went or what, because we have a way of looking that up if
they go through our cameras. Same way if somebody comes through and
steals something or does something to one of our citizens, we have
a way of tracking them down and hopefully ending that investigation
pretty quick. It's just, it's exceptional. I just can't speak
highly enough of it. I really can't.”

OmniQ Solutions. We had a missing person reported on October the
30th of 2021. It was reported that night, actually in the next

that come installed, we communicate quite a bit. If I have any

really intelligent. It's really good to have good people to work

Chief Kyle Strickland:
So the reason that this has given us a peace of
mind is, and I feel so much better having this solution, is number
one, I know as chief and as a father, as a citizen, as a person, I
know that, say somebody, your car gets stolen and you call it in, I
can get about a general direction of travel. It just helps our
investigation a hundred percent. If a child, God forbid, gets
