Why does this matter?Tracking average daily population of the Jail provides some information about the arrest rates and potential crime trends in Scott County. Examining this data over time supports decision-making about bed space needs; staffing needs; planning for additional resource needs; and to ensure public, inmate and correctional officer safety. This data is reported to the Minnesota Department of Corrections daily to help various state agencies plan/prepare their organizations' responses to inmate populations and potential crime trends throughout the state. It also helps the county determine costs of care for inmates.

This data shows the number of bookings per year by offense type. Why does this matter?Jails are an integral component of local public safety and criminal justice systems. Their mission is to safely detain individuals posing risks to public safety. Monitoring the population in the jail by offense types tells us something about how well the County is using the jail and whether we are making incarceration decisions based on true safety concerns. Also, people incarcerated for non-felony reasons are more likely to enter and exit the jail quickly, expending resources in the jail and raising questions over whether lower level offenders needed to be incarcerated at all.

This measure compares service averaged across all hours of the day instead of during the peak hour as recommended by standard. In Scott County, we place callers of less urgent calls on hold to answer incoming 911 calls in order to maintain compliance to this standard. This differs from larger 911 centers that queue callers until a call taker is available. Why does this matter?Scott County's 911 Center receives and dispatches all emergency calls within the boundaries of the county. In an emergency, a delay of seconds matters. A national standard was established to identify maximum allowable wait times for 9-1-1 callers. It calls for ninety percent of 9-1-1 calls to be answered within ten seconds during the peak hour of the day and ninety-five percent of 9-1-1 calls answered within twenty seconds of that hour. The results of this indicator are used to create the communications section of the Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey, which is used to determine fire risk ratings for homeowner and commercial fire insurance.

The standard measures how quickly fire calls are processed then dispatched out by the 911 Communications Center. Why does this matter?Scott County's 9-1-1 Center dispatched fire departments for all areas within Scott County and some areas in Sibley, LeSueur, Carver, and Rice Counties. A residential structure fire willl double in size every minute. With modern "light" construction techniques, floor integrity in a home is compromised within ten minutes of fire initiation. The faster a fire department is notified of a call for service, the faster an engine can arrive on scene and begin fighting the threat.

How often is EA it used? Source:Open + This measure also supports the library's strategy of "Promote Access for All." Extended Access empowers residents to use their library when it works best for them. Technology users, families with young children, and remote workers have all benefited from the increased access to their library. On top of staffed hours, it has allowed the Library to offer visiting opportunities that are rarely available in most public libraries, such as the popular 6am - 7am hour. The automated technology solution (Open+) has proven cost-effective and has allowed branch library staff to continue focusing on the most important aspects of library maintenance and customer service. About this measure:These numbers represent the total number of enrolled Extended Access users and the cumulative number of times the Jordan Library was unlocked in its first year of Extended Access. It also includes Elko New Market (ENM) that was implemented in September 2022. An "unlock" is a single visit, a user may unlock a library more than once a day. Why does this matter?

It also shows per capita use of both collections, which controls for population growth. Why does this matter?This measure is a high-level indicator of how customers are using the library collection to read, listen to, and watch content. It also indicates whether the library collection is achieving its desired outcome: residents have access to a convenient and easy to use collection of physical and digital resources. Within the department, this cumulative figure is tracked on a monthly basis by item type (book, CD, eAudiobook, etc.) and audience (adult or youth) to further understand how customers are using the collection.
