St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office Deploys New Video Visitatoin Solution
|
|
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells, Jail Administrator Peggy Harper and IT Manager Rick Johnson just launched a new video visitation program using the Sheriffs’ Association's Public Safety & Justice Portal video cloud network (hosted by CDW-G and using Cisco video endpoints).
The Problem: St. Lawrence County’s existing system was showing its age and in need of replacement. The Sheriffs' Association provided them the opportunity to review and test a new hosted cloud video solution that is now offered to all public safety and justice organizations in New York State.
The Solution: The County invested in four Cisco DX-70 13” video endpoints with hardened cases (see photo) and placed one in each of four separate visitation pods. The devices are set to auto-answer so, when it’s time for a scheduled video meeting, the inmate sits in front of the unit in the visitation pod and the calling department initiates the call.
The Results: The County has found the system to be budget-friendly and easy to use with excellent video quality. The operating cost of the video network is less than a normal cell phone plan per device once the equipment is purchased. And with CDW-G’s managed services cloud team providing the support for all network upgrades, adds, moves and changes, St. Lawrence County is now benefiting from reduced local IT workloads and stress while also lowering energy costs.

Pre-Holiday Season Drunk Driving Prevention
Nov. 25 - Dec. 11, 2016
|
|
The holiday season is right around the corner. As we prepare for festivities with family and friends, NHTSA wants to remind all drivers that it's dangerous to drive after drinking.
You have to choose your role before drinking begins: will you drink or will you drive? Remember, even if you only have a little bit to drink and think you're "okay to drive," you could still be over the legal limit, because Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.
Visit the
NHTSA Website for Holiday enforcement campaign materials.
