Criminal justice practitioners typically notify witnesses using paper deliveries or, at best, email notifications. It's much like throwing a football down the field without knowing if it's been caught. As a result, court notices are sent to retired officers or those with scheduling conflicts.
Subpoena deliveries to community citizens or to jailed witnesses are labor intense and difficult to track. Maintaining the status quo can result in court delays or contribute to unnecessary overtime costs. Judicial and public safety organizations need a smarter solution. Both need Orion.
CourtNotify is the only end-to-end software solution on the market today that closes gaps between the courts and public safety witnesses. The software can be used independently by public safety agencies or integrated with case management systems to unify court clerks, prosecutors, public defenders, and public safety personnel. It’s a proven solution that’s being used coast-to-coast.
