CADmine Success Story
Green Bay, Wisconsin Police Department Acquires CADmine
“Wow, what a tool!”
When Lt. Lampkin walked into my office with the tutorial for the CADmine program, I thought, “Oh another computer boondoggle in a long series of stuff that doesn’t work.” So to say I was not in a receptive state of mind would be reasonably accurate. I quickly noted the thickness of the tutorial and if my eyes did not actually glaze over, my mind sure did.
Minutes later I was stuck trying to determine to bill a false alarm or put it down as no charge…

San Jose CADmine Alert Locates Critical Witness to Homicide
“Thank you…thank you… thank you. This alert hit just saved me hours if not days of looking for this homeless guy in the creeks”
—Detective Sergeant Ed Zarate assigned to the San Jose Police Department Homicide Unit.
Sergeant Zarate was working a six-month-old homicide investigation. The victim was a transient who was stomped to death while sleeping in his sleeping bag. Having been unable to locate one of the main witnesses, and after just receiving his CADmine training, Sergeant Zarate set up a CADmine Alert. He asked to be notified in the event any contact was made with one of the witnesses needed for court. After setting up the alert, the detective was notified within 24 hours. The alert indicated another officer had contact with the main witness for drunk in public. The witness was located for his crucial testimony in this case.
“Many transients live on our creek beds and under bridges throughout our city. One of our transients was stomped to death in his sleeping bag by 3 other transients. The one person I requested an alert for was one of the witnesses of the murder. I was looking for him because his court testimony is important to put the 3 suspects away for very long time. Looking for him would have required me to go walk the creeks and under bridges but since I got the hit from your CAD Alert I was able to find him in 15 minutes.
Thanks again for saving me from going under those bridges.”
