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.
