Electronic Warrants System Speeds Up Law Enforcement

An electronic warrants system digitizes documents and automates the entire approval process.  Now, Marion County issues search warrants in minutes. As a result, this helps law enforcement and judges work more efficiently to keep the public safe.

Electronic Warrant System Challenge Neon Blue Chain The Challenge

Processing 4,000+ Warrants Each Year

The Marion Superior Court is the busiest county court system in the state of Indiana.  It processes more than 4,000 warrants every year. Many of those warrants need fast approvals without delay. For example, an officer stops a motorist suspected of driving under the influence (DUI). Then, the officer has a small window of time to get the driver’s blood tested. Getting a warrant quickly may save a life.

Fulfilling Marion County’s Vision for an Electronic Warrants System

Marion County asked BerkOne to fulfill its vision for an electronic warrants system. The county wanted to replace its time-consuming, paper-based process.  But, officials also wanted the electronic warrants system to work with its other systems. Because they didn’t want officers to learn a totally new system.

With BerkOne’s solution, officers therefore complete an electronic warrant form through their car’s computer and submit to a central repository. Then, the system automatically extracts key information and notifies the county clerks and judges that a warrant is ready for review.

The system also sends automatic updates to the officer notifying them of the warrant’s status. So, an officer can track the warrant from the time it’s received to the time it’s issued.
