The Computer Aided Dispatch program malfunctioned at the turn of the year, making several patrol vehicles' digital computers inoperable and forcing officers to revert to manual dispatch methods.
A source indicated that the system erroneously believes it is July 2003 and cannot interface with other department systems, leading to significant operational challenges.
The sheriff's department intends to find both temporary and long-term solutions for the technical issue, although the 911 call network remains unaffected.
In the absence of functional digital systems, patrol units have resorted to using paper logs, reminiscent of operational methods from the 1980s.
