BACKGROUND

 

The Sheriff’s Office received funds in the FY 2023 budget to upgrade the jail inmate classification management software. The current system, New World, no longer has a licensing contract with Northpointe, Inc. to use their jail classification software. Other jails have experienced a failure in the New World system due to the system aging out and unsupported software updates.

 

Northpointe Suite has a robust system that provides the current processes and an additive system. This additive system allows inmates to be classified more accurately and in a timely manner. The Northpointe Suite is proprietary and copyrighted by Northpointe, Inc. Northpointe, Inc. is the only company authorized to provide the COMPAS Risk and Need Assessments and the Classification Decision Tree as part of a software application to criminal justice agencies.

 

It is with these merits that make Northpointe, Inc. the only vendor that can provide this product and service. Approval of this Board Action authorizes staff to proceed with the sole source purchase from Northpointe, Inc.
