Public Safety Environment Improvement Project
WELD COUNTY, COLO.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
CATEGORY: Criminal Justice and Public Safety
YEAR: 2023
In 2019, Weld County (CO) set out to replace its public safety system which included CAD, law,
and fire mobile, records management, jail and work release management systems. A steering
committee was formed with the CIO, Director of Finance, Sheriff, and Director of
Communications to provide recommendations to the board of county commissioners and
provide direction to the eight working groups made up of various staff and first responders of
42 different agencies. At the heart of this project was the opportunity to engage and build
ongoing relationships that would allow Weld County to improve not only the software they
used but also the entire environment in process, workflow, and output. The team published an
RFI and RFP with over 2,100 requirements, and after a vendor selection process and 44
workshops, over 200 people worked together to build the new system. The COVID-19 pandemic
and vendor employee departures caused delays so the team used the "extra" time to conduct
full -scenario tests and provide drop -in training and executive workshops to keep end -users
engaged.
