FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Headline – Kandiyohi County, MN Sheriff's Office Signs with CODY:

Kandiyohi County, MN; July 2004 -- Kandiyohi County, MN, Sheriff’s Office announces a contract with CODY Systems to provide a single source integrated software solution for the agency’s records, jail, and civil process management, as well as computer aided dispatch, mobile field reporting, and case management needs. Picturesque Kandiyohi County is home to 300 lakes and miles of rural beauty, with the City of Willmar as its lively population hub.

Kandiyohi County chose CODY for several reasons; its competitive pricing, the user friendliness of the system, and having all components integrated into one system are just some of the reasons Kandiyohi County made their choice. One factor that was critical to Kandiyohi County’s decision was the ability to interface with applicable Minnesota and national databases. The necessary interfaces include links to MRAP (Minnesota Repository of Arrest Photographs), CriMNet (Minnesota’s information-sharing network for jail and corrections facilities), Minnesota CJIS (Criminal Justice Information System), and VINES, Minnesota’s victim notification service.

Sheriff Dan Hartog stated, “The system from CODY will give us interfaces to every major crime database that we need. Best of all, just like everything else in the system, the interfaces are completely integrated into the main system. The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Department provides Dispatch, Records, and Jail services for all agencies within the county and CODY will be a great tool to help us better serve our Community.”
