The National Association of Chief Information Officers selected DPS's Electronic Rounds Tracking System as best in the country for a data, information, and knowledge management initiative.

 

According to DPS, the Electronic Rounds Tracking System transitioned a pen and paper process for recording observations of inmates to a more accurate and efficient recording system using mobile technology.  

 

“The electronic rounds tracking system puts technology in the hands of our correctional officers so they can more effectively and accurately document inmate behaviors and actions,” said Frank L. Perry, Department of Public Safety secretary, in a statement.  

 

“This use of technology advances the department forward in efficiency, safety and proper inmate management. It also provides a tool to managers to better analyze inmate patterns and respond to potential issues in our prison facilities.”
