Sheriff, emergency manager describe jail tech rollout, fair command and active‑shooter training
Summary
Sheriff reported a new RFID system in the jail that improved jail-check compliance to about 99%; emergency management described command trailer use at the county fair and active‑shooter training for school staff with mapping for first responders.
Sheriff Jerry Davis reported a recent increase in jail population and described implementing a Guardian RFID system to track inmate movements, locate contraband and document checks in near real time. He said the system has improved compliance with jail checks to roughly 99%.
Emergency Management director James Smith recounted using the command trailer at the county fair and noted staff are outfitting the trailer with radios and paging capability so it could serve as a redundant dispatch or staging point in a larger incident. Smith also described active‑shooter training at Saint Andrews School that included police, fire, EMS and 911 staff and said work is underway to map schools so officers can see building layouts and a live dot indicating where responders should enter.
