Rockingham County’s sheriff provided a monthly activity summary at the July 3 commission meeting and updated the board on a delayed CAD/RMS (computer‑aided dispatch/records management) implementation.

The sheriff reported recent operational counts for a recent month including dispatch calls, motor vehicle stops, citations, offense reports, arrests, warrant arrests and court transports. The office said it will provide a monthly analytic summary of activity going forward.

On the CAD/RMS project the sheriff’s office said a state-required accident‑reconstruction module — necessary to import diagrams and complete crash reporting — remained the primary blocker to full go‑live. The office is working with the vendor and with Portsmouth (a neighboring jurisdiction) to resolve diagram/import issues; staff said they are targeting a late‑September go‑live date and that once the new CAD/RMS is operational it should allow automated monthly analytics instead of the current manual pull of statistics.

The sheriff asked the board to expect regular monthly reports on dispatch and enforcement activity after the system is live.
