how it works

Oakland County/CLEMIS Partnershp with Arx

Oakland County has initiated a Public Safety Transparency Dashboard opportunity for CLEMIS member agencies. CLEMIS and the Oakland County Executive’s Office, IT Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office have been working together to provide a law enforcement transparency dashboard for CLEMIS members. Additionally, Sheriff Mike Bouchard is using the Arx Community dashboard for all substations.

Here’s how the program works:

  1. The dashboard allows you to share data from CLEMIS in easy to understand charts and graphs with the public. 
  2. It is FREE to all Oakland county agencies for the first two years.
  3. CLEMIS provides Arx the raw CLEMIS incremental summary data including Calls for Service, Citations, and Arrests monthly for all agencies participating in this program.
  4. Arx delivers an Oakland County Transparency Dashboard template that your agency can personalize with unique agency verbiage and additional data (training, use of force, etc.). 
  5. Arx works directly with your agency to design, test and certify your Transparency Dashboard.

Any agency wanting more information on the program should request information from CLEMIS by emailing servicecenter@oakgov.com. If you are ready to get your dashboard, you can contact Arx by filling out the form below.
