SaFER - Shooter and Firearms Easy Registration
As a result of the introduction of the new Firearms Act (1997) and Regulations on
13 March 1997, a number of major changes were made to firearm legislation
in the Northern Territory.
The computer system used for firearm licensing could not be modified
to incorporate the required changes under the new Act, so the SaFER
project began. SaFER was built in the Northern Territory
and utilises a PowerBuilder application accessing an Oracle database. The
system is year 2000 compliant.
The SaFER system has been designed not only to provide greater
functionality, but to do so in a user friendly format. The
system can be upgraded if required, so that advances in technology
will not overtake it.
The SaFER system will be able to meet the Firearm Licencing and
Registration needs of the Northern Territory Police for the foreseeable
future.
