Case Study: Butte County District Attorney achieves faster warrant processing and increased on-scene officer availability with DocuSign

Northern California District Attorney’s Office Speeds Warrant Processing with DocuSign

Butte County District Attorney’s Office partnered with DocuSign to solve a slow, manual search-warrant process that routinely required officers to contact or travel to judges for signatures—sometimes waking judges at home—causing hours-long delays and reducing on-scene manpower during investigations.

By implementing DocuSign eSignature and issuing judges iPads, warrants can be signed remotely on any device, cutting turnaround from hours to minutes, keeping officers on scene, speeding operations (including a critical SWAT situation), and providing secure audit trails to verify signature validity.
