Digitize complaint drafting and arrest warrant processing with secure workflows
The Electronic Complaints and Arrest Warrant System enables law enforcement officers to draft formal long-form complaints, generate arrest warrants, collaborate with prosecutors and judges, and complete the warrant process electronically, including remote judicial review and signing. Built for Police Officers, Prosecutors, Judges, and Circuit Clerk Offices. Designed as a SaaS solution for Prosecutor Offices, Circuit Clerk Offices, and Judge’s Offices.
Manual complaint and warrant processes delay law enforcement action
Drafting serious criminal complaints and obtaining arrest warrants is often a manual, time-sensitive process that requires officers to travel to the courthouse, coordinate with prosecutors and judges, and handle paper filings—causing delays in apprehending offenders and increasing administrative burden.
- Manual drafting of long-form complaints is time-consuming
- Officers may need to travel to the circuit court
- Delays in obtaining judicial approval, especially after hours
- Paper handling increases administrative burden
- Difficulty coordinating officers, prosecutors, and judges
- Delayed warrant issuance allows offenders to remain at large
- Duplicate data entry when filing into clerk systems

- Enables after-hours warrant processing with on-call judges
- Helps apprehend offenders more quickly
- Reduces paperwork and administrative burden
- Improves coordination between stakeholders
- Supports faster filing with the circuit clerk when integrated
- Creates a more efficient and consistent process across jurisdictions
