Alerts posted by hand
Severe weather alerts need to reach the city website quickly, and someone has to copy them over.
Public safety supportWho we serve
Support the mission.
Outside the criminal justice data.
Emergency managers and public safety support staff use SentraBridge for alerts, public information, GIS and reporting: the back-office work around the mission, not the criminal justice systems themselves.
§ The problem
What gets in the way.
Maps that lag
Locations of incidents reported through 311 or public works don't reach the GIS layer the team relies on.
Status reports from many systems
Morning briefings pull numbers from several systems by hand.

Sentra 311§ FAQ
Questions, answered
Is SentraBridge CJIS-certified?
No. SentraBridge is not CJIS-certified and is not intended for criminal justice information. Use it for public information, alerts, GIS and back-office reporting.
Does it connect to CAD or RMS systems?
There are no pre-built CAD or RMS connectors, and we don't position SentraBridge for criminal justice data.
Where do weather alerts come from?
The National Weather Service alerts API, filtered by area and severity. A template posts them to the website through Sentra CMS.
