Today, more than ever before, document management software is a must for most organizations. The Ontario law enforcement agencies are using a document management process that simplifies e-disclosure and converts homicide case documents into digital format. The Ontario Homicide Investigators Association (OHIA), which is comprised of a couple dozen local police services and government law enforcement agencies across the province, have standardized on document imaging format to manage and distribute case information to prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other applicable court staff. “The average case can be anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 pages,” Ian Grant, detective inspector with the Ontario Provincial Police’s (O.P.P.) organized crime enforcement bureau, said. Hard copy documents can be difficult to cart into court and also take a lot of staff time, effort, and money to compile. Document imaging helps a great deal in moving toward a completely electronic system where no paper is required. Anything seized in paper format are scanned to allow officers to tag photographs, attach had written notes, black out sensitive, privacy-protected information in the document imaging.  While many cases are still using paper documents, document management is growing at a rapid pace. The courts have made it an acceptable method to carry out case management as long as it’s organized, contained in one spot, easy to use for the officers and legal professionals involved and, most importantly, readily searchable. Law enforcement agencies, have found that document management creates a much more efficient and effective work environment.
