Mr. Sorrel noted that March hires do not directly correlate to positions that became vacant in March, due to the differing length of time to fill the various positions.

He stated that after months of configuration and testing, it was determined that the current system utilized by Probation, implemented in 2013, does not have the capability to collect the mandated data.
Mr. Little advised that Tyler Technologies has recommended an upgrade from the current system utilized by Probation to Tyler Enterprise Supervision CMS, a cloud-based software service solution.
