Case Study: Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office achieves $10M annual savings and reduced liability with Avigilon high-definition surveillance

Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office - Customer Case Study

The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO), the largest law enforcement agency in the state, needed to boost security and speed internal investigations at its 268,000 sq. ft. detention center housing more than 2,700 inmates. Its aging analog pan-tilt-zoom system produced poor images, missed incidents, and left the facility vulnerable to false liability claims and a Department of Justice mandate for improved coverage that would have cost roughly $10 million per year in additional staffing.

OCSO installed Avigilon’s high-definition surveillance—Avigilon Control Center NVMS with HDSM, 138 cameras (1–5 MP), four analog video encoders and 90 days of storage—installed with partner Digi in about 60 days. The system delivered full facility coverage, cut investigation times from days to seconds, provided irrefutable video evidence to prosecutors, reduced maintenance and operational costs, and avoided the $10M staffing expense while lowering liability exposure.
