Why Kaseware

In Scott’s own words, “Several years ago I was given a demo of Kaseware and heard the story of Kaseware’s founders. I was impressed enough by the system that I agreed to serve on the Kaseware Advisory Board. My background as a career law enforcement officer and as a Chief of Police for three different departments has been helpful for the company to understand how Chiefs and Police Departments assess software systems.”


“I believe Kaseware offers tremendous utility. Most agencies have to purchase multiple systems to replicate what Kaseware offers. I am extremely impressed by the Kaseware team who have made multiple upgrades to the system since the first time I saw it demonstrated. I recently told a fellow Chief of Police that if it was available when my last department was getting ready to purchase a new RMS, I would have strongly recommended that we purchase Kaseware. That’s something that I would not say unless I was a true believer. I have never seen a system with the power and utility of Kaseware. I believe it’s head-and-shoulders above the products offered by current system competitors.”
