Computer system upgrades have caused some growing pains at the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and Jail, but it’s a necessary inconvenience that other offices and agencies have dealt with as well.For the past few weeks, arrest records, incident reports and inmate photographs have been unavailable as the jail and sheriff’s office underwent the upgrade. The situation has not only been an inconvenience for members of the public seeking information, but to jail and sheriff’s office staff as well, Chief Deputy Jared Akins said.The reason for the process taking so long is “the sheer volume of information you have to go through,” he said Friday. “We’re at the mercy of the vendor under contract to do the upgrades.”The Statesboro Police Department experienced a similar situation over the summer.
