Hays County residents and visitors can now access crime and arrest data for all of Hays County on one platform hosted called Citizens Connect. The system, by Tyler Technologies, boasts being the first in Texas to have all law enforcement agencies in the same county sharing data on a single Citizens Connect platform.
Through a collaborative effort between Hays County Sheriff’s Office, San Marcos Police Department, Kyle Police Department, Buda Police Department, and Texas State University Police Department, these agencies now have a shared computer database of crime activity that is also accessible to the public. This system provides the agencies with a more powerful analytical tool in their efforts to tackle crime in each jurisdiction.
The shared system also encourages additional collaboration among law enforcement agencies countywide.
