DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization seeks a vendor to provide integrated public safety software supporting computer-aided dispatch (CAD), law mobile operations, field reporting, a law enforcement records management system (LERMS), and a jail management system (JMS). The solution should support dispatch personnel, patrol officers, deputies, investigators, law enforcement records staff, and detention operations.

The project includes conversion and migration of existing records with data integrity validation, enhanced data sharing and reporting, and collaboration with law enforcement agencies in the region, including the Louisiana State Police and regional task forces. The systems should be user-friendly, intuitive, and designed to address operational challenges while improving workflow efficiency. Cybersecurity and data protection must meet or exceed Louisiana requirements and applicable industry standards.

The CAD system must operate continuously, handling emergency 911 and non-emergency law enforcement calls, with approximately 134,000 calls for service dispatched annually. The law mobile system must support NCIC inquiries from mobile devices, single-entry workflows for persons and vehicles, and hyperlinks to referenced calls. Questions must be submitted by October 16, 2026.
