Trusted by leading companies worldwide
The Situation
Baldwin County, Alabama's largest county, generates thousands of law enforcement documents daily - incident reports, arrest records, evidence logs, and court documents. The Records Division was overwhelmed with public records requests.
Alabama's open records laws require timely response to public information requests. Manual processing of these requests was creating backlogs and potential legal issues.
Officers spent significant time on paperwork that could be spent on community policing. Finding case-related documents across multiple systems was inefficient.
We're the largest county in Alabama by area. Our deputies cover 1,600 square miles. They need to focus on keeping people safe, not filing papers.
