Criminal justice practitioners typically notify public safety 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. Maintaining the status quo can result in court delays or contribute to unnecessary overtime costs. You need a smarter solution. You need Orion.
With Workforce Management PLUS, court notifications can be data entered or received by the solution’s API from external case management systems.
Officers receive notifications via their PLUS account, agency email, or by using IOS or Android mobile devices. Embedded acknowledgment links enable quick time/ date stamped receipt verification for reporting and auditing purposes.
Supervisors and court liaisons can view officers’ past, current, and future notifications. They can also acknowledge notifications on behalf of witnesses when unique circumstances occur.
