Case Study: Marion County reduces warrant issuance from hours to minutes and frees officers to focus on public safety with Tungsten Automation

Marion County Helps Law Enforcement and Judicial Officers Improve Public Safety with Electronic Warrants System

Marion County’s Marion Superior Court—serving more than 900,000 residents and handling over 4,000 warrants a year—faced slow, paper-based warrant processing that forced officers to track down judges at a central Arrestee Processing Center. Those delays were costly and risked time-sensitive evidence (for example DUI blood draws), while pulling officers off patrol and creating administrative burdens for clerks and judges.

Working with BerkOne and Kofax, the county launched an electronic warrants system that digitizes submissions, automates data extraction and routing, and enforces timed review and escalation. The new workflow cut issuance from hours to minutes (average approval about 18 minutes), freed officers to focus on public safety, reduced paperwork and staffing needs, improved transparency and judge workload predictability, and is being scaled across the county’s police force.
