The challenge

County staff fielded frequent public records and constituent requests about jail population and incarceration metrics, each requiring manual data pulls across disconnected systems.
There was no consistent, trusted definition of the metrics being reported, creating risk around accuracy and transparency.

Our approach

Ran a discovery workshop with county stakeholders to define the metrics, cadence, and audiences that mattered most.
Integrated the underlying jail management data into a governed analytics layer with clear, documented metric definitions.
Designed and built public-facing dashboards that surface incarceration data and trends in plain language.

The results

Constituents and staff can self-serve answers to common questions without a manual data pull.
The county has a single, defensible source of truth for jail and incarceration metrics.
Reporting that previously took days is now available on demand.
