Case Study: Sacramento County Sheriffs Office achieves intelligence-led policing and up to 50% cut in reporting backlog with Splunk

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Powers Intelligence-Led Policing With Splunk Solutions

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, which provides law enforcement and jail management across a densely populated 994-square-mile county, adopted Intelligence-Led Policing to proactively address rising crime. The department struggled with siloed data across RMS, CAD, JIMS and other systems and relied on time-consuming, manual SQL reporting that limited timely analysis and compliance reporting.

By deploying Splunk Enterprise and Splunk DB Connect, the department consolidated data into more than two dozen actionable dashboards (including map-based views), giving command staff real-time visibility into crime, corrections and dispatch metrics. The solution enabled proactive, data-driven policing, supported regulatory compliance for inmate recreation, saved hundreds of hours annually in ad hoc reporting and cut the reporting backlog by up to 50%.
