Utilizing the Montgomery County Microsoft SharePoint 2016 software, a comprehensive Intranet Web Site and Web Board for the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DOCR) was developed and implemented. Both applications were developed to increase the internal communication within the Department and across all other internal County Departments and Agencies. To accomplish both objectives the Intranet Site was developed with a secure portal accessible only to DOCR staff and a County portal accessible to all other internal County Departments and Agencies. The Secure Intranet portal provides the DOCR staff friendly one-stop shopping to obtain frequently asked for information relevant to staff needs, roles and/or responsibilities. The Web Board provides DOCR staff an electronic bulletin board to create and view data that is organized into key operational categories such as Approved Entry Memorandums, Inmate Handling plans, Shift Reports and Operational Memorandums.
