Sheriff weighs alternatives to Omnigo records system, flags conversion costs
Summary
The sheriff told commissioners Omnigo support is rising and described Interpol as a lower recurring‑cost alternative with a large initial migration price; staff cautioned about data conversion and the need for a full quote if the county chooses to switch.
The sheriff briefed the commission about the county's records-management/CAD/jail system (Omnigo) and presented Interpol as a possible replacement, noting Omnigo's recurring cost and Interpol's lower annual fee but higher one‑time setup. In the materials he referenced, the Interpol setup figure was presented as a large upfront cost followed by significantly lower annual charges, and he said other Kansas counties had transitioned successfully with limited data‑conversion issues in most cases.
Commissioners asked whether records and historical case data could be reliably migrated and whether the county attorney's office and other partner users would be included without additional per‑user fees. The sheriff said Interpol could include the county attorney's office in most pricing models and that he would follow up with references and specifics about setup and recurring charges before any formal procurement decision.
