Offering both animal assisted therapy sessions and non-therapy activities, LCAT offer clients access to a wide range of animals including horses, ponies and small petting animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, dogs and chickens in a non-threatening environment. Away from the animal based therapy LCAT also provides family mentoring, traditional one-to-one therapy and play therapies.

Promat Envision 3 “Code-named Rattler”

It has been a long time coming but now that Promat 2 (which has enjoyed a large amount of success and has made great in-roads into becoming the standard for ID parades) is ageing, being written in 2006, it has been decided that the time is right to create Promat 3.

The new system will enjoy the very latest in state of the art technology and will work on all devices, not just pc’s. We intend the new system to take about 9 months to write giving an estimated launch date of early Autumn 2012.

I cannot give too much away at the moment as we are still in collaboration with police forces to see what new features we will include in the new system. We expect to have a draft design of the new system ready for January when we can start to begin production.

We intend Promat 3 to be an upgrade of Promat 2 so additional costs will not be incurred for forces upgrading to the latest version.

A new national database for all Promat Forces to share

Due to the collapse of the Managed NVID database in mid-2009 we have decided to take management of the Promat database on ourselves at a fraction of the cost given by the previous supplier.

At this time the database can only be used in Promat systems and is owned wholly by the contributing forces. This database has been approved for use in ID procedures by the NPIA.

For more information on the new database please click here

The database is now live after extensive testing done by the West Midlands police force to ensure that the quality is upto standard as I write this article multiple police forces are now enjoying the new national video identification database.

Currently Promat users enjoy 25,000 videos of which 100% are volunteer videos. With the advent of using suspect videos now we intend to increase this to 50,000 within 3 years with a pool database size of 300,000 videos to select from.

Promat 2 installed at Devon and Cornwall

Folloiwng recent trends Devon and Cornwall police have commissioned Promat to upgrade the exisiting video identification parade system promat version from version 1 to version 2 Promat envision.

It was identified that D&C Police would benefit greatly from a networked system as opposed to a standalone desktop system which is what Promat 1 is. The cost savings of moving to the new networked system are substantial when you look at prisoner transportation costs and the cost of ICT having to support multiple instances of the same application.

The large coverage area that D&C have means that with the new system all the stations can be linked and work more effectivlely together to create a force wide interaction for identification parade creation.

The original Promat 1 databases will be compressed into a single instance and a single Promat 1 license will be given free of charge to maintain the original Database.

Promat video identification parade upgrade for Cumbria Police

Cumbria police have commissioned Promat to upgrade the exisiting video identification parade system promat version from version 1 to version 2 Promat envision.

It was identified that Cumbria Police would benefit greatly from a networked system as opposed to a standalone desktop system which is what Promat 1 is. The cost savings of moving to the new networked system are substantial when you look at prisoner transportation costs and the cost of ICT having to support multiple instances of the same application.

The upgrade will taking place on the 11th August with a projected go live date not long after that. The original Promat 1 databases will be compressed into a single instance and a single Promat 1 license will be given free of charge to maintain the original Database.
