A web map that allows public safety to submit redlines or markups when they find errors on the wall map and run book.

Crawl This basic capability is served well by working with a local GIS department that serves Public Safety to create maps or map books that Public Safety personnel can ‘mark up’ or ‘redline’ and return to the GIS Unit for editing. This is a paper-based process, but a reliable one that does require some tracking and management of the edits to assure that the edits that have been requested have been resolved.	Walk The next step in the maturation of this process comes when the local GIS Unit that serves public safety creates an online mapping service that is made available to Public Safety personnel along with the ability to look up addresses and print maps. The printed maps can be taken to the field, marked up with proposed changes, and returned to the Station. Upon return, the GIS Unit can QA/QC the changes and update the data (addresses, street names, etc.).	Run A mature implementation of this functionality provides web services and mobile web mapping that allows Public Safety personnel modify and correct data they find in error, from a field/mobile app. These mobile corrections are written directly into the source geodatabase and flagged as field edits. The Public Safety Agency or thier designated GIS support (in some cases, even the field personnel themselves) can mark these updates as approved and the data is transferred to the master dataset itself. This is a completely paperless process.
