The Issue
●
As of July/Aug 2006, there was a backlog of over
70,000 bench warrants due to lack of personnel to
serve the warrants
●
In 2006, a Task Force made up of various state and
local agencies convened to address the backlog
4. 4
Task Force Findings
●
No centralized statewide warrant database
●
Existing warrant data not comprehensive
●
Majority of warrant backlog is traffic warrants
●
Warrant generation / delivery system inefficient
●
Law enforcement/DPS need to conduct warrant checks
for detained/incarcerated individuals
●
Violators disregard their responsibility to the justice
system
5. 5
eBW Goals
●
Provide a method for law enforcement to more quickly
and easily access traffic warrant data and images
●
Develop a new system quickly (in Phases/Betas)
●
Leverage existing JIMS (Judiciary Information
Management System) data – traffic warrants only

Accomplishments
●
Oahu Sheriffs arrested about 12-15 people and serve 20-25 warrants on
average during sweeps prior to eBW. These numbers have more than
doubled.
●
Oahu Sheriffs save about 40 hours of prep time for each sweep using
eBW due to the search and sorting capabilities.
●
Warrant data is available 24/7
●
eBW provides search and reporting capabilities that make it easier to find
warrant and defendant info (and provides data beyond what is currently
available through existing systems for law enforcement)
●
Improved delivery system
