Chambers County Sheriff’s Office Prevents Litigation and Goes Paperless with Guard1
“We had an in-custody death a few years ago. The state investigators looked at it and it closed within 2 hours at our facility. In the investigation, they looked at the Guard1 records and video. The Guard1 records showed a documented check 5 minutes before the incident occurred.” - Major Parrish
The Challenge: Thousands of Paper Inmate Files
“The County Commission had a plan to demolish the old administrative building and rebuild it. But the building housed literally thousands and thousands of inmate files - so we had to find a way of maintaining new records without adding to all of the existing paperwork."
The Outcome: Nearly 100% Paperless and Preventing Litigation
“About 3 years ago we purchased The PIPE system and really loved how we’ve gone paperless. We had an in-custody death a few years ago… after the state investigators looked at it, it closed within 2 hours at our facility...The Guard1 records showed a documented check 5 minutes before the incident occured. We’ve since added the mobile devices and I love the system.”
“We love the cloud, and I’m in love with the reports, too.”
Mike Parrish
Major, Chambers County Sheriff’s Office
“It’s so easy to get the detailed information about what you want to look at and see what was done. We can make sure the officers are doing what they’re supposed to.”
What Chambers County Sheriff's Office uses Guard1 for:
"We're able to document so much information with Guard1, and the Officers love how much paperwork it eliminates out of their day. At first there was a learning curve in the beginning as we adjusted to the system. But once we got used to the system, the staff absolutely loves the system. And from my side, I love how much information you can pull from the reports. Whether that's headcounts, suicide watches, medical watches - I've pulled all of that information and more since we went live with the system."
“It’s been great to work with Guard1"
Mike Parrish
Major, Chambers County Sheriff's Office
"One thing that's been really great about working with Guard1 is how when you give them a call or send them an email, you always get a response back. We work with a lot of vendors and I've been impressed with the responsiveness of Guard1 and look forward to continuing to work with them."
