Prosecuting Attorney's Electronic Case Management System, a Component of ECM
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond Prosecutor's Office handles all city criminal misdemeanors, contested traffic infractions, appeals and all cases through the Redmond Community Court. Apart from standard Microsoft Office products, the Prosecutor's office has not kept pace with its peers in leveraging modern technology to automate workflow or digitize case files. Today, case files are maintained 100% in hard copy format. This limits the time a Prosecutor has to prepare for trial, it inhibits optimal communication with witnesses and victims of crime, and it causes delay in the procecution of cases. An electronic case management system would Improve case management business processes with a specific focus on electronic workflows and quick and easy access to case details which will eliminate inefficiencies caused by the manual handling of hard copy case files both in and out of the courtroom.
