With
the need to move into a more usable system, we created a Permit Information
System for Maryland DNR which increase flexibility and efficiency
of the operation. We collected and reviewed all available information
regarding fish and wildlife permits. We developed the forms and procedures
for Falconry, Game Husbandry, Pigeon Control, Captive Reptile and
Amphibian, Regulated Shooting Area, Retriever Training, and Taxidermy
permits in a Microsoft Access application. The application records
all the necessary corporate and specialized information for each type
of permit, prints the physical permit, and provides summary reports
of the data in the system. We analyzed both the system and the procedures
the system supports and made recommendations for improvements for
the future.
