Meet notification mandates and keep victims informed: automated rights notifications, case-status and hearing updates, and offender-status alerts, delivered in each person’s preferred language and channel.

Victim and witness services notification portal showing case updates, automated alerts, and offender status

Keeping victims informed is mandated, and impossible to do manually at scale.

Marsy’s Law and VOCA-funded programs require timely, documented notice of rights, hearings, and offender status. Doing that by phone, for every victim, on every case, is more than any office can sustain. Automation makes notification complete, timely, and auditable.
