Message body:

Gentlemen,

I created a user account for you today that should allow you access to the
Flock database.  The link is only good for 24 hours so please log in to
create your password today.  If you miss the window let me know and I can
reactivate it.

We are currently operating under their free plan so we don't have full
access at this time to all the tools the system is capable of.  We are
working towards that goal though.

The recently adopted policy requires some system training.  We are
accomplishing that by having users go through the training materials
created by Flock.  Once you are logged in you will find a small blue robot
face in the lower right corner of the screen.  Clicking on the robot will
make a pop-up list appear.  Watch the videos under the "Search" tab and
then you can take the "Search Tool Certification Program" test under the
Certifications tab.  Once you pass the test they will e-mail you a
certificate in a few days.  Throw that certification in Sergeant Ham's box
for your training file.

The most important thing to highlight with the system is that we will treat
it as "right to know, need to know" information like CLETS info.  Each
search must have a case/incident number and reason associated with it for
auditing purposes.

If you have any issues or concerns let me know.  Once we get the patrol
sergeants onboard we will start trying to push this out to the patrol
staff.
