Four California Counties Roll Out Domestic Violence Software

Recently, it was announced that four counties in the state of California will be rolling out a brand new software system.  Eventually, it is believed that the system will link all domestic violence records throughout the state.

The counties:  Marin, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and Orange, have agreed to participate in a pilot program.  The software is expected to provide a searchable database of restraining orders that have been scanned.  Last week, Marin was the first county to start using the system.

This new registry will not only track domestic abuse cases, but also elder abuse, harassment and even juvenile cases.  The California Courts Protective Order Registry was created after an order was issued by the state judiciary.  It is hoped that that the Registry will help judges create protective orders that are standard across county lines.

By the end of 2013, it is anticipated that the system will track restraining orders in all 58 California counties.
