Information about Offender Based Tracking Reports |
|
Overview
In 2001, Senate Bill 50 modified the duties of Superior Court Clerks and required the
electronic collection and transmission of certain criminal case disposition
data to the Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority (GSCCCA) and
the retransmission of that data to the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC),
the Georgia Courts Automation Commission (GCAC). The law required case disposition data to be
electronically transmitted no later than January 1, 2002.
How the Information is Being Used
Criminal case history information is important for the efficient
operation of the judicial and law enforcement communities, and SB 50 improves
the accuracy of such data and the speed with which is reaches the agencies that
use it. Offender Based Tracking forms follow the progress of certain offenders
from the point of their arrest, to the disposition of their case. The
disposition data resides in the case management systems of Superior Court
Clerks and SB50 significantly improves the speed by which it is reported to
other agencies, by automating the process.
