Idea: Flock - can we add a Flock shortcut? https://users.flocksafety.com/ (Submitted 6 months ago)

Link to Flock is already setup and available in the Investigative Links section


Idea: What happened to the VEC link? Is it feasible to add it back? (Submitted 9 months ago)

The old VEC records link was bad, the state updated the website and the address changed. The new one was located and the link is added back on on 15 February 2024.


Idea: First off I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to put this site together. I literally use it everyday multiple times a day. It saves so much time. I was wondering though whenever you get the chance if you could please add the new Flock camera system link (https://flocksafety.com/). I feel like that site is going to be used a lot now. (Submitted 1 year ago)

Thanks for the kind comments! Flock was added on 17 January 2024.


Idea: Your link to RiskMaster is old and works a small percentage of time. The correct updated link is below:

https://rm-rmaprdcovb.dxc-ins.com/riskmasterux/#/login (Submitted 1 year ago)

Thanks for this, it has now replaced the link we previously had.


Idea: ZONE MAP LINK IS BROKEN (Submitted 1 year ago)

I had to remove the Zones Map link because the city changed its website and no longer makes that public. I cannot find a replacement. If anyone finds one, please send it in.


Idea: Add links for StarChase mapping so officer can follow now that this is active. https://maps.starchase.com/prod/rt2/ (Submitted 1 year ago)

Added on 12 June to the investigative links section


Idea: https://virginiabeach.gov/services/map-center

The "property map" link should be added to access the property lines (Submitted 1 year ago)

Added to the Other Useful Links section on 6 Jun 2023


Idea: New RiskMaster link - https://rm-rmaprdcovb.dxc-ins.com/riskmasterux/#/login (Submitted 1 year ago)

This is now added


Idea: Vinelink the prisoner status link does not work for VBSO anymore it has been down for a long time. I have found that http://inmateinfo.vbso.net:8083/IML is accurate and works for VBSO. (Submitted 1 year ago)

Updated the prisoner status link to use this one. 25 April 2023.


Idea: Is it possible to add the link for Chorus? Its the new investigative tool. (Submitted 1 year ago)

Added to the investigative links section. 25 April 2023.


Idea: ipoad link: https://ipoad.vbgov.com/Main/Officer/OfficerSearch.aspx (Submitted 1 year ago)

Added to the City Computers Required section on 28 December 2022.


Idea: For the phone number directory, maybe include Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel PD and Dam Neck Base Police, as they are also agencies that we work with. Additionally, our NCIS liaison could be included here. Just found this link and never looked at it. (Submitted 1 year ago)

Received. Trying to track these phone numbers down....


Idea: This should have a link to the Planned Patrol, via Teams for each precinct. They are cumbersome to locate and adding this will help more officers participate and record it for the officers assigned. (Submitted 2 years ago)

These links were added to the Forms page on 22 August.


Idea: Can you bring the training link back. It was really useful. Even if people switch (Submitted 2 years ago)

It is back now. I'll leave it up for a month or two longer.


Idea: The added training dates is great. What about adding the start times and locations to them. (Submitted 2 years ago)

This was part of the original plan, but I never got around to doing it. I'm not going to get it done now because I plan on taking down the Training Dates tool at the end of January 2022. Also, I don't want to be responsible to keeping that kind of official information up to date. Thanks for the suggestion!


Idea: 711 clerk mentioned that there was a website that LEO's can go to and gain access to camera feeds. Not sure if it was a viable tool, but thought to mention. Thanks (Submitted 2 years ago)

I heard that as well, but have not been able to track it down. If anyone has that information, please send it along to me.


Idea: Recommend adding a link to the City WebEOC portal: http://webeoc/. (Submitted 3 years ago)

Added on 3 November 2021 to the City Computers Required Section.


Idea: Add "VACPS.DSS.VIRGINIA.GOV" as the CPS online reporting page (Submitted 3 years ago)

This was already added some time ago. Its currently near the bottom of the "Other Useful Links" section.


Idea: A link for the ShotSpotter Ground Truth. Also, there is a link for VRS but not one for the deferred comp which is accessed by 2 different sites (Submitted 3 years ago)

Added all the links to ShotSpotter. Need to track down all the links for deferred comp and VRS stuff


Idea: Hello, hope all is well. I want to first thank you for this amazing resource that you have created for us! I have a suggestion if its possible. Would you be able to add the zone layouts to the list of resources? thank you! (Submitted 3 years ago)

Thanks for the kind words! This is now added on 6 September 2021.


Idea: Will the FR300 program link work through this page (Submitted 3 years ago)

Good thought, but linking to a computer application from a web page isn't possible (that I know of). If I figure out a way to do it, I will.


Idea: Field Training for Law Enforcement Officers B-13 link (Submitted 3 years ago)

Received. Not sure where to put this link, or even what to call it: https://www.dcjs.virginia.gov/book/export/html/4611


Idea: If we send you investigative links for sites can you make a section for those? (Submitted 3 years ago)

This is done. The homepage now has a section for Investigative Links. Moved the link to LINX into this section. Will add more as I get more. I want this site to be useful for detectives as well as patrol officers.


Idea: City Defect notice is not working (Submitted 3 years ago)

Reviewed and corrected on 23 August 2021. City no longer uses SeeClickFix, they have a new internal system for reporting defects at https://vb311.virginiabeach.gov/assist/servicetypes


Idea: Can you add shotspotter as a shortcut? (Submitted 3 years ago)

Added on 3 July 2021.


Idea: Is there a way to get the Taleo tab put on here? (Submitted 3 years ago)

Added on 23 January 2020


Idea: Any chance of getting General Orders and Field Guides? (Submitted 3 years ago)

UPDATED: The documents in PowerDMS have direct links, so I've started on this. I've finished the Field Guides page already, and will work on the GOs in the future. I need to figure out a good way to organize the GOs since there are so many of them.


Idea: We should add a link to donate to the creator of this website that the whole department benefits from. (Submitted 3 years ago)

Considering this. This is a good idea, it costs me about $100/mo to run this, plus the nearly $1000 worth of software and years of experience in learning to make and secure this at a professional level...


Idea: Suggest adding a link to the Court's website for commonly used forms (ie. Criminal Complainant, Subpeona for Witness, Affidavit for Search Warrant, etc), where the forms are fillable (PDF/Word). (Submitted 3 years ago)

Added on 24 June 2021 with those three forms. Would be useful to know if there are other forms I should link to.


Idea: Arrange the tabs alphabetically. (Submitted 3 years ago)

Not likely going to do this. I wanted to keep the most commonly used items in the first row, or near the top. After that the ordering is arbitrary. Am open to ideas to improve the ordering/layout though - just not alpha order. Every now and then I go in and move things around just to confuse people.
