See what some of our customers have to say:
Chief Superior Court Judge:
"It's like two people speaking different languages to each other — each gets complete understanding of each other's information without having to change their existing
system."
Clerk of Superior Court:
"This will reduce the time to enter issued bench warrants into the Sheriff's system from six days to minutes. That will help for both issued bench warrants and clearing up bench warrants.
That alone can help reduce County liability for lawsuits."
"In the past, we entered the same data 5 – 6 different times by each judicial agency; now we only have to do it once. Other agencies can quickly review it and simply
add their incremental information. That time savings alone justifies this system for the Clerk of Superior Court."
Clerk of State Court:
"Our high volume of cases means lots of opportunities for errors. One Friday at 5:00pm, I answered the phone — a suspect arrested on a traffic stop was jailed due
to an outstanding warrant. I made a few calls and discovered the warrant had been dismissed by Magistrate Court years ago but it had not been updated in the Sheriff's
office. The suspect could be released and saved the County two days of incarceration at $40 per day. P.S. I KNOW the person arrested and he WOULD have sued the
County if he had been improperly held in jail over the weekend!"
Sheriff Office Captain:
"Warrants issued at lunchtime were not picked up until 4:00pm; often the Records Clerk did not have time to input them all."
"8 – 16 hour delays occurred where we did not know a warrant had been issued for that person, longer on holiday weekends!"
"Everyone maintains control of their own records.”
"Each department keeps their investment in their case management systems and little or no training is required to use this system."
Sheriff Office Record Clerk:
"Before, it took 20 minutes to input that stack of warrants; now it takes less than two minutes."
"Less chance for errors on warrants, which can lead to released criminals."
Chief of Police:
"We now get information we often did not even get before."
"Every time a case is changed, everyone is immediately notified."
"We pay less overtime to officers who work the night shift to testify for cases during the day. When the case is dismissed, if the officer appears, we
still have to pay them overtime. Now we better know when cases are rescheduled."
"Evidence rooms can be cleared out faster. Prior to this system, it took MONTHS to get case disposition. Now it takes minutes or hours. We don't have to
compile a list of cases, go to District Attorney's office, ask them to research a case disposition states and get a report weeks or months later."
"This will be revolutionary for Georgia Law Enforcement"
Magistrate:
"Homeland Security is requesting Judicial and Law Enforcement agencies get a better handle on who is in the criminal justice system and the stage of their case."
"This is one of the best things my boss could have implemented in this office."
"It cuts down on the number of incident reports and time to process reports and warrants; in the past we had to retype warrant information for any changes; now we can do it online and everyone has the same information immediately."
"It's difficult to read the officer's handwriting about important charge information."
Public Defender:
"We are legislated to visit new detainees within 72 hours; before, we had to sort through 40 – 50 pages of jail information to compare it to the previous day's
40 – 50 pages of information in order to identify new detainees."
"Public Defenders must personally visit each county's Law Enforcement Center; now we instantly know the charges and other important information before visiting
the centers."
"It's not just a time saver but also a money saver — mileage reimbursements have dropped because we reduced wasted trips to Law Enforcement Centers and to
Clerk's Offices to obtain warrant information; now we get that information in real-time."
"We bother the Sheriff’s office much less to get fax copies of detainee information."
"I cannot imagine going back to the pre-data exchange days."
District Attorney Senior Clerk:
"Sometimes it took a week to get information typed into the system (interruptions, time sensitive projects, etc.). Now it is much faster because I just
have to type in a little information instead of retyping everything."
"Having real-time information allows me to better answer questions of attorneys and others who are asking about cases; I don’t have to run downstairs to
Clerk's Office or ask the Sheriff to fax a copy of the warrant in order to answer questions."
"It's a BIG PLUS for us."
"Dispositions can be generated right away instead of weeks later."
District Attorney:
"Information must be entered accurately — that's what we depend upon for the entire case. Now we can spend more time reviewing information instead
of retyping lots of details and having the opportunity for errors in transcription."
"It frees up two Clerks to do a LOT more work we have for them."
"Our Charging decisions are more accurate because we are working with complete, up-to-date information; we can address all the pending charges against
the defendant in fewer trials and cases."
"We can better serve Victims by letting them know of other charges, case status and courts dates."
"We are no longer operating in the dark."
"Real-time information sharing — emphasized at the Federal level — is just as important at the local level."
"This system allows our community to get the efficiencies while matching our unique ways of conducting business."
"It's nothing BUT a benefit for us."
"We can focus on substantive issues instead of duplicating paperwork; now we can spend more time serving the public and victims."
Public Defender Standards Council:
"Justice delayed is Justice Denied"
"This data exchange project overcame failures of past projects around the US and Georgia"
"It meets legislative mandates for better information about the criminal justice system."
"It allows for earlier intervention in cases."
Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia:
"The challenge is letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing and it gets worse when there are lots of hands."
"No additional personnel are needed to implement this system; counties can build on the practices, documents and exchanges already successfully deployed in Georgia."
"It's much less expensive than other options such as those tried around the United States."
