Dolphin Technologies Inc. Begins OPES II Project Los Angeles County Sheriff
Department Information Management System

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -  Dolphin Software, consulting group of Dolphin
Technologies Inc., and a leading Systems Integration Group developed a
partnership with the intent of pursuing leading edge NeXT Computer software
development.

In late January, 1993, Dolphin Technologies Inc. and a third party began
development of the OPES II project at the Los Angeles County Sheriff
Department.  The system will consist of an integrated database built on ORACLE
and will track information such as citizen commendations and complaints,
internal affairs investigations, use of force, officer involved shootings,
civil litigations, discovery motions, citizens comments and various other
factors associated with the performance of Sheriff's Department personnel. 
Operating on powerful NeXT workstations, users will be able to perform complex
queries using sophisticated reporting and query tools to produce timely,
useful, consistent and accurate information.

Scheduled for completion this autumn, the system will enhance the Los Angeles
Sheriff Department's management oversight functions by providing a department-
wide integrated database for executive and management users, replacing islands
of computerization and written fles.  "This system will help us ensure the
delivery of the highest quality law enforcement services to the community and
in defending against spurious lawsuits against our personnel," said Sherman
Block, Sheriff of Los Angeles County.

"OPES II is an excellent project for Dolphin Technologies.  We hope that many
projects will follow from this work in the future," stated Norman B. Furlong,
Principal of Dolphin Technologies Inc.  "Our partnership and the development
of the OPES II project are both strong indications that NeXT continues to be
an excellent choice in developing new software.  We are very pleased to
continue our commitment to this platform," added Zacharias J. Beckman, founder
of the company.
