Public Safety & Mission Software for County Governments
Public Safety and Justice Software for Counties
Integration across sheriff, probation, jail, courts, and prosecutors, and the reporting that spans them.
County justice data crosses more organizational boundaries than any other. An arrest touches the sheriff, the jail, the prosecutor, the court, probation, and sometimes behavioral health, each with its own system, its own vendor, and its own idea of what a person record looks like.
What county justice environments look like
- Sheriff CAD and RMS, jail management, and probation case management
- Court case management operated by an independent judicial branch
- Prosecutor and public defender systems with discovery obligations
- Behavioral health and diversion programs that must coordinate without violating confidentiality
- Statewide criminal justice systems and reporting requirements
- Identity resolution problems: the same person entered differently in six systems
Where HQT helps
- Integration and data sharing across justice partners, with agreements and technical controls that satisfy each party's rules
- Identity resolution and master person indexing across justice systems
- Automated discovery packages and evidence transfer to prosecutors
- Jail population, recidivism, and diversion program reporting for boards and grant funders
- Data sharing with behavioral health under the applicable confidentiality rules, using minimum necessary designs
- Dashboards for justice partner governance groups, built on definitions all parties accepted
How an engagement usually starts
Usually through a justice coordinating council or a grant-funded diversion program that requires cross-agency data. The technical work is straightforward; the agreements are the project, and we plan for that.
