The nationwide jail and arrest database amplifying public safety.
The Sheriff Office Information Access Project (SOFFIA) fuses operational awareness, investigative depth, and intelligence integration — enabling earlier threat detection, faster investigations, and proactive prevention through a connected law enforcement network built on precision, speed, and accountability.
Public safety data should work across county and state lines.
SOFFIA is a data infrastructure company on a mission to connect jail and arrest data from Sheriff's Offices across the United States into a single, vendor-agnostic, real-time data repository. Participating agencies retain ownership of their data while gaining unprecedented visibility across jurisdictions.
Each agency retains full control and audit visibility over its contributed data.
Building connectors for every major JMS and RMS platform in use today.
Sub-second sync of bookings, releases, and updates across the network.
Built to span all 50 states with a standardized, governed schema.
Fragmentation across vendors, counties, and systems.
Today, jail and arrest data is locked inside dozens of vendor systems, with each county on its own schema, refresh cadence, and access policy. Cross-jurisdictional visibility is slow, expensive, and often impossible.
- Incompatible Jail Management Systems
- Manual data requests between agencies
- Inconsistent schemas and definitions
- No real-time view across jurisdictions
One repository. Every county. Real-time.
SOFFIA standardizes incoming data through a vendor-agnostic ingestion layer and delivers it back to participating agencies through a governed, secure repository designed for cross-jurisdictional coordination.
- Out-of-the-box connectors for major JMS vendors
- Open SOFFIA Schema for standardized data
- Sub-second event streaming
- Granular, auditable access controls
