Innovations and Productivity Improvements

  • Implemented Jail Management System modules in collaboration with the Department of Technology and Enterprise Business Solutions to address diminution and restitution changes required by the Justice Reinvestment Act. Existing criminal justice applications systems will be transferred to low-code solution and CRIMS Management System to enhance security. The department application systems will have one user interface login to streamline the process of accessing multiple systems, which will improve staff productivity.

  • Collaborated with the Department of Finance to consolidate multiple timekeeping and scheduling software platforms into one optimized application.

  • Updated DOCR internet and intranet sites to provide transparent and relatable information about DOCR operations to the community, and important information to County employees.

  • Completed the microgrid installation at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility (MCCF). The microgrid interfaces with the large solar installation previously completed to further increase energy independence, environmental protection, and cost savings. This project received State and National accolades.
