Broward County Commissioners approve $4 million for cloud platform to transform data sharing among local law enforcement agencies
Broward County, Florida – Broward County is going forward with a big modernization project that will change how local police departments handle information and operate together.
Officials aim to roll out a new Regional Law Records Management System over the following 26 months. This system will make daily operations easier and speed up the sharing of important data between jurisdictions.
The Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved a $4 million agreement with Niche Technology USA Limited on October 21, 2025. The county will use the cloud-based NicheRMS365 platform as part of this cooperation. It will replace outdated systems with a single system that can safely manage a wide range of law enforcement tasks, from writing patrol reports to analyzing investigations.
The first phase of the rollout includes eight main agencies, such as the Broward Sheriff’s Office and police stations in Hollywood, Sunrise, and Lauderhill. Broward County will pay for the first deployment, but the agencies that use the system will be responsible for its ongoing support and maintenance expenditures one year after it is fully implemented.
County officials claim that the update is a big step forward in making the public safety infrastructure better. Mayor Mark Bogen said that using the new platform puts Broward at the cutting edge of current policing technology and gives first responders more digital tools to help them accomplish their jobs in the community.
“The investment and implementation of this new system put Broward at the forefront of public safety technology, ensuring first responders have the best tools available to keep our community safe,” said Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen.
There are already plans in place to grow. Up to 11 more agencies, including departments in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Miramar, can join the system without having to pay new installation fees. However, they will have to pay for licensing and long-term service costs.
In addition to replacing old technology, officials hope the system would help agencies work together better, cut down on the need for paper records, and provide investigators and patrol officers better analytical tools.
The Broward County Office of Regional Communications and Technology is in charge of overseeing the transition. Their job is to make sure the project stays on track and organized as it moves forward.
