Line of Business:

All

Urgency:

High

Status:

Review at 8-14-03 Steering – carried over to 09-11-03 meeting

Contact:

Business Issue

A status needs to be associated with a warrant based on the type of warrant it is.

Recommended Process Change

All unsigned warrants will be considered as “inactive” and all signed warrants will be considered “active” until the warrant is quashed or recalled at which time it will be changed back to “inactive”.

Examples

A warrant may be printed from Odyssey and await signature during which time the status would be inactive. In TCIS the same idea exists by requiring an issue date and a return date to determine if the warrant is active or not. Hennepin systems also use the concept of “active” and “inactive”.

Research Conducted

In both TCIS and Hennepin systems a warrant does not show as “issued” until it has been signed.

Options Considered

  • Have the clerk decide the status and manually enter

  • Have the system determine the proper status based on the warrant type

Rationale

Odyssey requires the association of “active” and “inactive” with all warrant types.

Impact Within Judicial Branch

N/A

Impact On Other Agencies

More accurately and consistently reflect the correct status of a warrant in order to lessen the chance of an inactive warrant being acted upon.

Guideline Evaluation (Required for B and C Level Changes Only)

  1. Improve overall quality of justice and public safety

  2. Improve efficiency, convenience, certainty and service to those impacted by court’s case management

Communication & Implementation Strategy

Will be incorporated in user training documentation. Tyler Technologies will configure the system.
