INTERIM REPORT ON THE CONVERSION OF THE PROSECUTOR'S CASE INDEXING PROCEDURES FROM A MANUAL BASIS TO A COMPUTERASSISTED BASIS.

Abstract

THIS AUTOMATED SYSTEM INTERRELATES THE INFORMATION WITH EXISTING RECORDS OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM AND THE DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTIONS. THE SYSTEM, KNOWN AS 'PACE (MANUAL)' (PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S CASE-TRACKING AND EVALUATION), IS CAPABLE OF INSTANTLY IDENTIFYING REPEAT OFFENDERS AND RAPIDLY DISPERSING WARRANT INFORMATION TO OUTLYING AREAS. THUS OPERATIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FURNISHED TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES WITHIN EASTERN WASHINGTON, WITH EVENTUAL INTERFACE WITH NCIC-CCH AND STATE LEVEL CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS. THIS REPORT MAKES SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM, AND DESCRIBES PROGRESS ON PACE-AUTO, A FULLY-AUTOMATED SYSTEM HAVING GREATER INTERFACE WITH OTHER SYSTEMS AND BROADER-SCOPE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CAPABILITY.
