Dedicated Customer Support
Since switching to Cidnet, the reliability of our communications system has been a huge improvement. We no longer deal with the dropped calls we experienced with our previous provider, and the level of support and responsiveness from their team has been outstanding. Deploying handheld devices across our facility has also expanded access for our inmate population and helped streamline daily operations for our staff.
Trish Bernhards, Jail Administrator
Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office Detention CenterCouncil Bluffs, IA
After awarding Cidnet through our inmate communications RFP process, we’ve seen a very positive impact on how communication works in our facility. The system has improved access for our population, reduced complaints, and the more affordable rates have been well received by friends and family. We also implemented the Cidnet signage system, which has helped us communicate policies and important information more effectively to the inmate population. I would highly recommend their platform.
