Table at the 58th Northeast Fish and Wildlife Conference
Portland,
Maine April 21, 2002 - April 24, 2002
Below
are some of the images displayed during the conference
Main
Screen of RegFinder
From
here a user can determine what regulations apply for the
displayed
categories by selecting the specific tab
Deer
hunting is currently selected, more specifically,
the Winter
Bow Season. General regulations are in black,
and specific
regulations, those that are limited in time or location,
are in
red or green. The red listings are regulations which normally
apply
to the current entity, in this case Deer Management Zone 14,
but are
out of season. That is to say, on the date shown,
April
15, 2002, the Winter Bow Season was closed. Had this date
been
within the scope of the Winter Bow Season, the listing would
be in
green.
This
is a display for Turkey Hunting. On the same day,
April
15, 2002, Spring Turkey Season A was open. The value
in the
right column is the cost of a violation of this regulation.
A new
feature under construction is the ability to issue a summons
from
RegFinder. If the officer pressed the 'Issue Summons' button
now,
the screen below would be displayed to gather information
about
the violator and violation.
Since
RegFinder already knows most of the information needed for the
summons, the officer needs only enter the name and address of
the violator, the summons number of the summons to be issued,
and a description of the location. RegFinder will determine what
the cost will be, when the court date is, and the specific statute
violated. The officer then drops the card part of the summons
in a printer, and prints the summons. Officer notes and other
information can be added later to the summons data. The information
is now stored in a database which can be brought back to a central
system and used to update the summons database for the division.
Nothing more needs to be typed in or recopied by anyone. This
will save the time of the people who now have to transcribe the
information from the summons to a computer so that it can be shared
by others.
