This is a sub award from the Urban Institute, created by funds from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, in the amount of $50,000, to support the partnership between the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Broward County, to build a Business Intelligence (BI) platform that will allow for data from BSO’s Jail Management System to be readily accessible and presented in an Offender Management Dashboard. The implementation of the Offender Management Dashboard will support search, discovery and analytics across the Offender Management data repository.

The overall objective on the development and implementation of the Offender Management Dashboard is to decrease the in-custody average length of stay and reduce the jail population. The dashboard is expected to enable efficient and accurate reporting; provide more advanced pattern and trend analysis; and empower stakeholders to adapt, deploy and operationalize criminal justice information based on quantifiable measures.
