Bloomington Police Department: Social Work Program

About Company

The Bloomington Police Department (PD) launched its social work program in 2019.

Case Study

The Social Work Program Doubled Its Reported Data, Increased Its Caseload, and Improved Community Trust with Casebook.

Challenges

The program’s previous case management process stored all key client data in password-protected Microsoft Excel sheets. This system frequently crashed and locked staff out during fieldwork and other scenarios where the team needed remote access. These issues contributed to significant reporting delays and increased the work hours required to fulfill caseloads.

How Casebook Helped (outcomes)

Casebook’s case management software provided a centralized, mobile-accessible platform tailored to Bloomington PD’s workflows. The digital policing tool streamlined data entry, reporting, writing referrals, and other aspects of the social workers’ operations, saving time and improving accuracy.

Casebook's reporting functions are a game changer — what used to take me 90 minutes now takes 20–30, and I can share double the information.

For many years, the organization relied on manual and very time-consuming tasks for record-keeping, using multiple Excel spreadsheets to capture important client and program effectiveness data. Because data was housed in many places, it was difficult to compile reports and audits in a timely fashion.
