Erie Co. Sheriff's Office announces safety, technology updates
(WJET/WFXP) – The Erie County Sheriff's Office provided new information regarding their ongoing goal to update the technology used by local law enforcement.
Beginning in 2023, the sheriff's office began their transition from using several outdated record-collecting methods and equipment as a way to enhance safety and benefit Erie County citizens and taxpayers.

Since making these changes, the office has announced that, with the help from the Erie County 911 Center, they've successfully implemented a new specialized records management system along with a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system.
Prior to these updates, officers would listen to the radio and manually write information with a pen and paper. Now, the CAD system allows law enforcement to transfer information to mobile data terminals, as well as see the real-time locations of on-duty deputies to ensure quicker response times and provide more accurate information during high-risk situations.

These new updates will also help fellow first responders, as information can be shared much more easily.
The sheriff's office ensures citizens that these updates will help improve safety and security in Erie.
