The City’s dedicated enterprise GIS Division, or Rancho Enterprise Geographic Information Systems (REGIS), serves as a better way to maintain, manage, and share geographic information throughout the City. GIS is an important part of the daily operations and functions in the City because GIS gives the ability to analyze, query and display spatial and tabular data in a productive way to provide timely information in order to make better decisions. The City’s GIS handles a large number of map and data requests from all of the City’s departments, local residents, schools and other outside agencies.

One of REGIS’ mission critical responsibilities is to provide mapping and data support and analysis to the City’s public safety including Fire, Police and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). REGIS creates maps and develops applications that will integrate Fire, EMS, and Police data with GIS to display, identify, and analyze incident patterns and response effectiveness, so that resources can be more optimally deployed.

REGIS provides a variety of map products and enhances City department’s operations and services with custom GIS applications and solutions. REGIS has developed user-friendly internet and intranet mapping applications for City staff and the public using GIS web-based technology. This technology allows users to query and display accurate GIS information that has increased department productivity and provided residents with timely and valuable City information and services. The following are just some of the map products and applications developed by REGIS and used by City staff in daily operations.
