Kentucky’s E-Warrants system enhances efficiency and improves public safety.
When looking for an easy-to-use, streamlined system for receiving, filing
and serving warrants, Kentucky turned to NE Warrants by OPS. Like all states,
they had for years faced a time-intensive process prone to redundancies
and inaccuracies.
Known as E-Warrants in Kentucky, it is a robust electronic
forms application for the judicial system. Requests for warrants, summons,
subpoenas and more can now be submitted electronically. Because it’s
web based, judges can use E-Warrants to review and approve requests anywhere
(on their laptops or PDAs), anytime (24/7).
Once a request has been approved, E-Warrants sends out notification
to all law enforcement agencies in the state, and the information is
also linked
to the NCIC. All warrants are available to all agencies instantaneously.
Kentucky public safety officials have been very pleased with this system
because
it has greatly increased the number of warrants that are actually
served,
instead of sitting in files. In addition to keeping up with current-day
warrants, they have been able to serve 30% of their backfiled warrants.
Kentucky’s Governor Beshear has applauded the success of the E-Warrants
system.
