Project is to replace 20+ year software for a regional cooperative with two county sheriff's offices, two municipal police departments, and nine fire districts, as well as their consolidated psap

The Combined Regional Communications Authority was awarded a $1,601,000 project grant from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) on March 15, 2022. The grant will fund the replacement of outdated 20+ year old software systems used by two county sheriff's offices, two municipal police departments, nine fire districts, and their consolidated public safety answering point. The new computer-aided dispatch, records management, jail management, and mobile computing systems will allow for improved information sharing and regional cooperation. The software update will also facilitate compliance with state and federal reporting requirements by enabling easier generation of law enforcement statistics and submission of mandated reports. Completion is scheduled for October 31, 2023.

This will be an all inclusive computer-aided dispatch (CAD), records management system (RMS), jail management system (JMS) and mobile computing solution to allow for the exchange and sharing of information within the region. This update will also allow for ease of reporting for state and federal reporting requirements for both statistics and mandated reporting.
