Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) signed an agreement with the
Muskingum County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in Muskingum County, Ohio, for
Tyler's New World™, SoftCode™ and Brazos™
public safety, civil processing and e-citation solutions. The agreement
includes license fees, professional services and system maintenance.
MCSO sought a solution that would improve efficiency throughout the
organization by sharing information between the county and court to
replace manual processes with a seamless workflow. Tyler was selected to
deliver a total solution to integrate criminal justice for MCSO.
"We were already familiar with Tyler because of their expansive presence
with several agencies in our county and in the state," said Mr. Kim
Hambel, director of operations, Muskingum County Sheriff's Office.
"Tyler's connected solution will enable us to share mission-critical
information among our departments. This capability helps us to not only
reduce crime in Muskingum County, but to keep first responders more
informed and safer on the scene of a call for service."
The comprehensive solution for MCSO includes three Tyler products that
are all part of the Tyler Alliance approach which enables data sharing
across Tyler products and across justice agencies. The systems work
together to provide integrated criminal justice:
-
MCSO purchased New World computer aided dispatch, law enforcement
records management systems (LERMS), mobile messaging, field reporting
and corrections solutions from Tyler.
-
This software is compliant with incident-based reporting (IBR) and
National Crime Information Center (NCIC) requirements, meaning it
already meets the state and federal guidelines in Ohio and won't
require any changes to the existing solutions.
-
When MCSO is live on New World, dispatchers and first responders
will be able to take advantage of proximity dispatching
capabilities, which enable dispatchers to utilize intelligence,
estimated time of arrival and a community's unique routing data to
send the fastest and best response to a call for service. All of
this information is available in CAD and mobile data terminals
(MDTs) found in the vehicles of first responders, so that
dispatchers and first responders know where all vehicles are
located in real time.
-
New World software is designed to meet Next Generation 9-1-1
requirements, specifically text-to-911 functionality. With this
functionality, agencies can implement text-to-911 functionality
for their community.
-
Brazos, Tyler's e-citation solution, will be used by patrol officers
to easily enter citation information on a mobile device, which will
integrate with New World LERMS used by the sheriff's office.
-
Tyler's SoftCode civil processing software will be used by MCSO,
attorneys, sheriffs and deputies to track warrants, update information
in the field, and access case and financial information.
"The Muskingum County Sheriff's Office is forward-thinking in their
desire to implement the software tools necessary for an integrated
criminal justice system," said Greg Sebastian, president of Tyler's
Public Safety Division. "With integrated criminal justice, it's more
than just sharing information; it's about providing decision support and
business intelligence to better serve the public. We're looking forward
to helping the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office deliver this to their
constituents."
Muskingum County, in central Ohio, has a population of nearly 90,000.
The city of Zanesville, which is its county seat, also uses Tyler's
Incode® financial management solution.
