BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward County is officially hitting the "start" button on a major technical upgrade for local law enforcement. Over the next 26 months, the new Regional Law Records Management System (LRMS) will be rolled out to help law enforcement work smarter and share information faster.

On October 21, 2025, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners approved a $4 million deal with Niche Technology USA Limited. The County will be using a next-generation, premise-based NicheRMS365 platform to replace current technology and give law enforcement personnel a unified, secure way to handle everything from patrol reports to crime analysis.

The rollout is starting with eight key agencies, including the Broward Sheriff's Office and police departments in Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Lauderhill, Margate, Sunrise, Wilton Manors, and Sea Ranch Lakes, with the County covering the initial setup costs. These agencies will assume responsibility for support and maintenance fees one year after final system acceptance. 

"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.  

Eventually, 10 more agencies (like Fort Lauderdale, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Davie, Hillsboro Beach, Lighthouse Point, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Plantation, and Seminole Tribe) can be added with no additional system infrastructure costs; they will be responsible for software licensing, training, and/or support and maintenance fees.

Implementing this new system will foster better teamwork and seamless data sharing for all users. These users will also realize additional efficiencies due to less physical paperwork and access to more high-tech tools for investigators and patrol officers.

The Broward County Office of Regional Communications and Technology (ORCAT) is leading and managing the project to make sure the transition is smooth and stays on track.
