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 cloud platform, NicheRMS365, 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 Hollywood, Sunrise, and Lauderhill, with the County covering the initial setup costs. These agencies will assume responsibility for support and maintenance fees one year after system final 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, 11 more agencies (like Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Miramar) can be added with no additional implementation fees, however they will be responsible for software licensing 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 managing the project to make sure the transition is smooth and stays on track.
