Nemaha County moves to replace sheriff records system; Central Square chosen and contract finalized
Summary
After opening proposals in January, the county accepted Central Square for a computer-aided dispatch/records/jail-management system; the board later finalized contract terms during 2021 and authorized implementation steps for the sheriff's office.
The Nemaha County Sheriff's Office and board pursued a multi-part procurement in 2021 to replace its computer-aided dispatch (CAD), records management (RMS), and jail management (JMS) systems. Sheriff Brent Lottman opened proposals in January; vendors included Justice Data Solutions, Global Public Safety, and Central Square (SEG 036). The board subsequently accepted Central Square's proposal and the county moved forward on a final contract in mid-2021.
Minutes record that the county accepted Central Square's proposal and later signed a comprehensive contract for public safety software and services. The January meeting noted proposals were received and opened (SEG 036); the county later approved contract documents and budget authority for purchase (SEG 791, SEG 792). The board recorded the procurement as part of its public-safety modernization efforts, and authorized the sheriff to proceed with system implementation and associated hardware procurement.
Why it matters: CAD/RMS/JMS is the operational backbone for dispatch, patrol records, and the jail. A modern system affects recordkeeping, response coordination and data-sharing with regional partners. The procurement appears in multiple meeting records across 2021 as county officials completed vendor selection and contract execution.
