“I can now type any message that I need to or want to and it can be delivered in any language that’s necessary,” Sheriff Smith explained.
Efficiency and Speed

AI-Enhanced Contact Agents
AI Sheriff Smith isn’t alone. Tips and questions sent in are first responded to by two AI-enhanced contact agents via email. “AI assists us with an automatic response based on the request but that AI-generated response is from our social media page and our internal policies and CAD system.”
Follow-up and Monthly Reports
Sheriff Smith and the rest of his team follow up with their own response when they have the time. The AI system also posts monthly statistic reports that highlight the calls that they respond to.
“That’s the purpose of the stats,” stated Sheriff Smith. “So that the people in this county, whether it be the people who reside here, have a business here, visitors or travelers, have the ability to search and see what kind of area they’re living in.”
