District Attorney/City Attorney Prosecution System Collaboration Project

About the Program

Year: 2010

In 2009, the San Diego County District Attorney’s and the San Diego City Attorney’s Offices successfully collaborated on a project to share usage of the District Attorney’s internally developed criminal case management system. The mutual use of the same system to prosecute cases benefited both agencies in the sharing of case and defendant data, and has also resulted in a considerable cost savings alternative for the City Attorney over purchasing their own case management system. In addition, the project provided an opportunity for the District Attorney’s office to expand its outside agency-access capabilities, which will set the stage for future connectivity plans to other justice partners such as law enforcement and the courts.
