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.

Problem

Inefficient police case management process made it nearly impossible for Bloomington PD to prove the value of its social work program to city leaders.

Solution

One Connected Platform, Built for Police Social Work. Simple training processes made implementing Casebook's community policing solution relatively seamless.

Results

Social workers and police officers could access real-time client data during crisis calls. These insights improved decision-making and outcomes.

“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.”
Melissa Stone
Senior Police Social Worker, Bloomington Police Department
