Digital CPS

The CPS is currently engaged in a major programme of work designed to help us deliver a quicker and more efficient service through the use of enhanced technology.

Our vision is of a digital CPS, where secure electronic working replaces the need for vast amounts of paperwork in the system.

Improved technology will enable us to provide a much more streamlined service, improving the efficiency and speed of our work in the following areas:

• Information exchange with the police
• Preparation of cases
• Information exchange with courts, defence and prosecution counsel
• Presentation of cases at court
• Our service to victims and witness
• Our business and legal management 

Currently, much of our work in these areas takes place via paper files, physically moving around the system. By replacing a lot of this paperwork using efficient and secure technologies, we can help to reduce costs over the coming years, whilst maintaining and improving the quality of our work.
