PRLog -- In January 2012, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office reduced the Roll Call period for correction officers from 15 minutes to 6 minutes daily. This decision was made based on the idea that shift change information could be effectively communicated via the Shift Log feature in Black Creek’s SallyPort
© Jail Management System. Upon completion of each shift, supervisors document all pertinent information to relay to the oncoming shift via a “Shift Change Information”
category that created in Shift Log. Information contained in these entries includes, but is not limited to population counts, unusual/serious incidents, staff shortages, delivery of essential services, and admissions/discharges. According to Chief Deputy Gabrielle Liddy, “Using Shift Log to relay shift change information saves over $300,000 in annual Roll Call compensation. Furthermore, Shift Log creates an electronic record of information relayed between shifts, ensuring accountability and minimizing communication breakdowns. Shift Log also allows staff to retrieve previously relayed shift change information if needed for clarification purposes.”
