BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – I am very proud to announce that earlier this week our Information Technology Manager Robert Urie was recognized by the Republican Liberty Caucus of Central East Florida for his sincere commitment to customer service, excellence in technical knowledge and advancement, dedicated work ethic and his financial efficiency.

Under Bob’s direction, the Information Technology Unit has been able to accomplish major agency upgrades and complete a host of projects, which not only increased efficiency, but also resulted in significant financial savings to our citizens.

He has also done an exceptional job in building partnerships between the various law enforcement agencies throughout the county and is currently the Chairperson of the Brevard County Information Technology Users Group.

One of the most essential and challenging projects facing our agency, was to the identify, research and present a solution for our agency to transition from our current Report Management, Jail Management and CAD systems to a new integrated System.

While our old system had served our agency for the past 20 years, our current needs had far exceeded its capabilities.

A tremendous amount of work was done by many agency members over the past 24 months, taking the steps necessary to make this goal a reality.

The new system immediately connected our agency with the majority of the local law enforcement agencies in our county, while also creating efficiency and effectiveness.
