(CHANDLER, AZ - January 1, 1998) - Officials of Chandler, AZ based FieldSoft, Inc., today announced the availability of PDonScene command software for use by law enforcement agencies. PDonScene is the first and only software application in existence that works the way that real people work on the scene. The product replaces paper and pencil based tactical check sheets and marker boards that have – until now – been the norm when operating in the field. Strategic and tactical commanders now have a tool that actively helps them manage activities, while automatically documenting every event that occurs. PDonScene is the second incident command product for public safety released by FieldSoft.

FieldSoft applications are used by incident commanders to manage people, resources, and events while on the scene of an emergency. The software automates most – if not all -- incident management functions formerly handled with pen and paper based worksheets, checklists or marker boards. Moreover, single finger operation and a user interface specifically designed for real time use during emergencies, means that almost anyone can use the software, not just computer gurus.

Fire service agencies have long used one of three formalized incident command systems while on the scene of an emergency. Each of the systems is based upon of a formal incident organization, common terminology, standardized policies and procedures, an identifiable chain of command, a and manageable span of control. The systems have proved their use time after time and have become a standard means for the fire service to operate in the field. Law enforcement agencies have recognized the benefits of such systems and are starting to move toward formal adoption. The Chandler Arizona Police Department is one such agency, and PDonScene was developed when they asked for a law enforcement version of fire service product. Their request resulted in the creation of a product that has all the benefits of FDonScene, but which has been specially modified to take into account circumstances on the scene unique to law enforcement.
