relevant justice agencies, as the State does not currently operate an automated state-wide warrant information system. As a consequence of the need to manually retrieve and fax warrants, the Police Department will likely see little direct time savings through implementation of the HIP project. Hawaii Intake Service Center (HISC) HISC receives the roster of persons arrested by the Hawaii County Police Department and the relevant OBTS/CCH Arrest Reports and copies of the warrants either by fax, or by picking-up photocopies at the Police Department each morning. HISC in turn faxes these forms to the Third Circuit Court, so they can begin retrieving Traffic Abstracts on all defendants and so that they are aware of the potential caseload facing the court each day. Additionally, HISC faxes the roster, OBTS/CCH Arrest Report and warrants to the Public Defender's Office. HISC staff begin processin cases b searchin for a State Identification Number (SID) for each defendant. If there is no SID, the staff must call Oahu ISC and get an DISC number assigned to the defendant. In addition, HISC staff visit the Third Circuit Court each morning to retrieve the Traffic Abstracts (i.e., driver's license history) for incorporation into the Pretrial Bail Report. If the person is already in the ISC database, the staff person enters a new record for this person representing the current incident b ca turin core information from the OBTS/CCH Arrest Report. This data entry builds the core of the ISC record, which the caseworker will update after they have completed their cellblock interview with the defendant at the Hawaii County Police Department. If the person is not already in the ISC database, staff must build a record for the person. Once the interviews are completed, the caseworker returns to the office and begins completing the Pretrial Bail Report (also known as the Bail Summary). Additional information gathered during the interview, as well as information from the OBTS/CCH Arrest Report is entered into the ISC system in building the case record and the Pretrial Bail Report. The Bail Report is actually a MS Word document. The caseworker must contact references supplied by the defendant and summarize the information in the Report. In addition, staff attach a copy of the defendant's criminal history record, and they must also summarize the record, providing the judge with the number of felony, misdemeanor, petty misdemeanor and contempt convictions, as well as a narrative summary of the criminal record and comments by the arresting officer. Third Circuit Court The Court schedules cases based on information received from HISC and the Hawaii County Prosecutor's Office. The HISC fax enables court clerks to begin building the docket for the Third Circuit Court and to retrieve relevant Traffic Abstracts for each defendant, which are printed and assembled, and placed in a file folder for HISC and deposited in an open file case in the front, public entry of the Clerk's office.
