Kern County, California, Selects Tyler Technologies’ Odyssey Integrated Criminal Justice Solution

County chooses additional Odyssey products to integrate justice processes

Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with Kern County, California, for Tyler’s Odyssey® integrated criminal justice (ICJ) solution. The agreement, valued at approximately $5 million, includes software licenses, related professional services, maintenance and support.

Odyssey will be implemented in four Kern County criminal justice departments, including the Probation Department, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office and the Sheriff’s Office jail. The county’s Odyssey ICJ agreement allows it to join the Kern Superior Court’s current Odyssey implementation project for criminal case processing, which will be coordinated and conducted in parallel. With the selection of Odyssey, Kern Superior Court and county justice agencies will operate on a single platform that will significantly streamline criminal justice processes and allow agencies to more effectively share information with one another.

Tyler’s Odyssey Jail Manager™ will be implemented within the Sheriff’s Office jail facilities and the Probation Department’s juvenile detention facilities. The system, which handles all aspects of inmate processing, is built on an enterprisewide database and is designed to automatically share information with fully integrated product centers within the Odyssey suite. Odyssey Supervision™ is an integrated pretrial and probation management system that will be implemented in the Probation Department to address adult and juvenile probation processes. Odyssey Attorney Manager™ will be implemented in both the Kern County District Attorney’s and Public Defender’s offices to provide case tracking features and secure electronic data sharing capabilities. Kern County will also benefit from Tyler dataXchange™, which provides immediate access to records and real-time information sharing across jurisdictions and justice agencies.

“We are proud to have proven ourselves with California clients like Kern to the point that they have confidence to expand their use of Odyssey. Tyler has successfully implemented Odyssey on budget in six California counties during the past 18 months, and has a dozen others scheduled to go live later this year,” said Bruce Graham, president of Tyler’s Courts & Justice Division. “Our integrated criminal justice approach has been successful in Texas, Florida, Georgia and other states, and we are excited about the opportunity to bring similar efficiencies to probation departments, jails and prosecutors’ offices in California.”

Kern County has a population of approximately 864,000 and its current jail facility houses more than 2,800 beds. The county is located at the southern end of California’s Central Valley, just north of Los Angeles County, and its county seat is the city of Bakersfield.

In total, Odyssey serves more than 100 million residents, a third of the U.S. population, in more than 600 counties across 21 states. Odyssey has been successfully deployed statewide in Indiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota; statewide implementations in Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington are currently underway.
