Imagine a software package in the early 1980s that public safety agencies could use to track 9-1-1 calls, map emergency situations, and trace dispatched units in real time. Imagine software that pulls information from one central database, helping law enforcement agencies eliminate wasted time and effort from entering data in multiple databases. Imagine that this software also allows anyone in an agency, from the police chief to the patrol sergeant, the dispatcher to the mobile patrol unit, and the records clerk to the investigator, to extract information on cases, people, property, and incidents in real time, knowing the information he or she receives is the most accurate, up-to-date information available.

Now imagine this software can meet the unique needs of several different types of agencies, including police, sheriff, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, campus police, airport security, tribal police, and port security officials. Almost 30 years ago, Richard Spillman not only imagined this, he created it – and today Spillman Technologies has developed the most comprehensive public safety software solutions on the market.

Richard Spillman developed the original idea for Spillman Technologies while completing a senior project for a computer science course at Utah State University. The assignment was to design a tax roll and budgetary accounting system for Cache County, Utah. His system worked well, and while collaborating closely with several county officials, he learned that one of the county’s additional needs was for a law enforcement software program that could manage records and information. Richard realized that the need for reliable public safety software was not unique to Cache County—it was industry-wide. In 1978, Spillman Technologies was born.

In 1983 Spillman released its first public safety software package in cooperation with the Cache County Sheriff’s Office in Logan, Utah. Since then the company has developed software solutions that encompass the most critical aspects of public safety agency operations, including Records Management, Computer-Aided Dispatch, Mobile Communications, Corrections Management, Fire/EMS Management, Resource Management, and Data Sharing. The Spillman Public Safety System has more than 30 integrated modules that cater to the unique needs of key agency positions.

Throughout almost three decades of business, Spillman has been dedicated to providing the most reliable, innovative products for public safety officials. It has remained privately owned and debt-free for over a quarter century, and grown from only three employees in 1983 to nearly 200 employees today. With corporate offices located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Spillman was named one of Utah's "Best Companies to Work For" in 2006 by Utah Business Magazine. Most recently, in 2007, Spillman was named one of the natiion's fastest growing private companies by Inc, magazine .
