AgencyDB is a utility for keeping track of Police and Fire department policies on your Palm handheld device. You can keep track of fines, permits, fees, etc. Included is an area for defining your own list of agency policies. A "note" section can be used for contact names, email addresses, fax numbers, etc.

- Why doesn't the Beam feature work?
- This is an early beta release. It should work in future releases.

- Yes! (maybe) It was written to work on palms 2.0 and up. Handspring visors and Color IIIc should work fine although they will show up in monochrome. If you see any problems, please report them.
- Why are you giving this program away for free?
- I don't. It's postcardware.
- Future Developments?
- I may or may not continue developing AgencyDB. It was mainly a program I developed for my own use but decided to share openly. Future designs may include search options, color, {your idea here}, sorting, printing, etc.
First thing you should do after installing the software is create on database of agency policies. My personal database of polices look like this:
- 1 false alarm per year
- 2 false alarms per year
- 3 false alarms per year
- 4 false alarms per year
- 5 false alarms per year
- 6 false alarms per year
- PD will not respond
- Fines double after 3rd
- Guard company needed
You should define the database so it fits your needs. You may then begin building your database of agencies. The check boxes are used for the following:
Fees = Does this agency charge fee for applications or bonds?
Permits = Is a police permit required?
Fines = Does this agency charge false alarm fines?
No Response = Do they have a "No Response" policy?
You may however utilize these items differently. The "note" field can be used for several uses including: email address, fax numbers, contact names, etc.
This program is postcard-ware, which means that you may copy and distribute it as far as you like. I won't charge you any fee for this. But you may not charge anyone for this program either. If you like AgencyDB, you have to send send a postcard with your email address to
Rick Howe Peak Alarm Company, Inc. PO Box 65658 SLC, Utah 84115
(Postcards with local motives from your place are perfectly ok.)
If you like this program so much that you think I should get some money for it, well, go ahead. But remember: you won't get any additional service.
If you are a shareware programmer...
... keep in mind that you got my software for free. :-)
