Sheriff Departments

Our Unique Approach - ECINS is a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to solving case management problems for our clients

Bringing Proven Collaboration to U.S. Sheriff’s Departments

Every day, Sheriff’s Departments handle cases involving overlapping needs — criminal behavior, mental health, family issues, housing instability, substance use, and school concerns. Each requires a coordinated response. ECINS gives agencies the operational infrastructure to make that possible.

Now available nationwide, ECINS is a secure, cloud-based platform that enables Sheriff’s Offices to collaborate seamlessly with social services, schools, corrections, probation, parole, healthcare, crisis teams, and community partners.

With ECINS, deputies and partner agencies can share the right information at the right time, ensuring:

  • Consistent case information across all agencies

  • Faster identification of risks, needs, and repeat behaviors

  • Coordinated action plans with clear accountability

  • Reduced information gaps and administrative burdens

  • Improved continuity of care for individuals in crisis or reentering the community

This collaboration delivers faster resolutions, fewer repeated incidents, and stronger public safety outcomes.

ECINS helps Sheriff’s Departments lead countywide coordination — turning fragmented systems into a cohesive, efficient response network.

About ECINS

In 2010, the UK Home Office approached ECINS founder Gary Pettengell with a national challenge:
Create a secure, multi-agency case management system capable of connecting people (victims, offenders, vulnerable individuals), places, and premises — all without requiring agencies to abandon their existing legacy systems.

The result was ECINS, which launched in January 2011 as the first system of its kind in the UK.

Today, ECINS is the most widely used multi-agency case management system in the United Kingdom, trusted across:

  • Every police force in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland

  • Counter Terrorism units

  • Violence Reduction Programs

  • Neighborhood and Community Policing Teams

  • Multi-agency safety, mental health, housing, and youth interventions

From Anti-Social Behavior and SARA Problem Solving to major crime prevention and repeat offender management, ECINS helps law enforcement and community partners work more effectively together — all in one secure, scalable workspace.
