LOG ON

Use the same username and password you use

with MOVEAR or ATLAS.

Note:

If this is the first time you’re

logging on to the website you will

need to select and answer some

security questions after entering

your username and password.

When you open ADVANCE you should see the Officer Activity view.

Note the icons across the top.

Clicking on the eCite – Documents icon will bring you to the Documents view.

This view includes

both a Search and a

Drill Down button.

These features can

be used to find a

specific eCite

document or set of

documents using

whatever

information you

have.

Clicking on Search will bring you to the Custom Search page. From here you

can enter any search criteria you have and generate a list of documents

matching all of your search items. Clicking on a document number will

open a new browser tab with a printable view of the actual document.

Clicking on the CARE Search button will change the

search entry fields to drop-downs. Select all

appropriate search items and click on Search to find

matching documents.

With a CARE search you cannot open the actual

document but by clicking on the magnifying glass you

can view the document meta-data.

Clicking on the Drill Down button will display a different sort of search

page. Drill Down is intended for you to add more and more search terms

until the results are as specific as possible, given the known criteria.

As an example, let’s search for a document generated by Trooper David

Hamilton (Troop G). Trooper Hamilton remembers that he wrote a warning to

a young-ish, African American Male about six months ago. The young man

was driving a dark colored SUV.

We’ll start by selecting the trooper’s

agency and then clicking on Next to

apply that filter.

Local LEA users Note:

You should only see tickets

written by members of your

agency so this step won’t

apply to you.

By clicking on the Variable select box,

you can select what type of variable

you want to add to the filter criteria. In

this case, we want to look specifically

at documents generated by David

Hamilton so we’ll select Reporting

Officer from the Variable drop-down,

select the trooper’s name from the list

and click on Next again.

Continuing to add layers, we’ll select Defendant Race (African

American), Vehicle Body Type (Sports Utility Vehicle), Document Type

(Warning), Date (5/11/2014 – 9/13/2014), Defendant Gender (Male)

and Defendant Age (27 – 32). Don’t forget to click Next after adding

each layer. This has reduced the possible suspects from 1,734

documents written by that trooper to 3 possible matches.

Unfortunately, vehicle color is not one of the available filter types.

Tip: You can select more than one item

by clicking on the first one and then

holding the shift key while clicking on

the last one.

Clicking on the magnifying glass for each document will display the

meta-data including the Ticket Number which can be searched for to

generate a printable view of the actual document. Vehicle color is

noted in the same field with the vehicle year, make and model.

Searching for and viewing each of the

three warnings further narrows down

the possibilities to two people who

could have been involved.
