SUMMARY:
The District Attorney’s office does not have a case management system to digitally process the case information provided by local law enforcement agencies, the potential prosecution of those cases and recording of the information in a digital database.

DISCUSSION:
Utilizing the recently awarded contract by San Luis Obispo (SLO) County, Monterey County is able to utilize the extensive RFP process completed by SLO and obtain a modern, state of the art Case Management System.
