| Back-office tasks consume far too much of the
police and the criminal justice system's time. By streamlining the documentation and administration process through electronic documentation systems more time can be allocated to core front-line activities. This will help reassure the public as well as provide more time for crime prevention. In addition, where a widespread, 24/7 police presence cannot be deployed, the use of CCTV can help reassure the public and help rapid deployment should problems arise. |

| A major issue for the criminal justice system has been the lack of a current single view on a given case or individual. This is an issue not just between interested parties such as the police, solicitors or social workers, but also between different regional bodies. A key theme of the Criminal Justice System Information Technology (CJIT) programme is to put the technological infrastructure in place in order to implement joined-up case management systems. The finished systems will make it easier to share information and reduce unnecessary duplication. |

| The police and criminal justice service have to demonstrate fairness and efficiency in administering justice. The Freedom of Information Act means that any citizen or organisation is entitled to have access to certain types of information, so it is vital that the criminal justice system can record, store and make accessible the required documentation. It is therefore of paramount importance for the criminal justice system to be able to record, store and make accessible all kinds of documentation, both internally as well as with the public. |

Many within the criminal justice system work in a variety of locations, so remote working combined with real-time access to information, with less reliance on paper-based records, could lead to significant gains in efficiency.
The Gershon Report of 2004 looked at improvements in working methods in Criminal Justice Departments. The ability to allow flexible working, in particular working from home via secure remote access, can reduce the need for fixed office space and also enhance the quality of life and productivity of staff within the criminal justice system. |

| The 2004 Gershon Report set out exacting efficiency targets as well as changes in work practices for all public sector bodies. IT initiatives are one of the keys to achieving the report's challenging targets. Systems consolidation and flexible working will certainly help in this process, but another major element for costs savings comes from efficient procurement. Using e-procurement, technology-enabled business processes can reduce the cost of every part of the procurement process. In particular, e-procurement technology will improve supply chain management by increasing speed of procurement, enhancing decision making and the management of contractual documentation. |
