Lt. Tedrick, Stark County Jail

"Moving the jail to a paperless environment has been my main goal since being promoted in April of 2016.  I quickly saw that we were stuck in doing things 'the way they've always been done'.  And with that, came the realization that using paper to document our activities was severely outdated, inefficient, and unverifiable.  Guard1 has filled the need of solving this complex issue.  Guard1 staff have always been attentive and available, not to mention just down right friendly."
