Kiosk Information Systems Joins Forces with AutoMon Corporation Partnership Automates Paper-Based Law Enforcement Procedures and Allows Officers to Focus on High-Risk Cases

BROOMFIELD, Colo. � Kiosk Information Systems (KIS) recently announced its contract with AutoMon Corporation, the leading provider of case management technology solutions to the community corrections marketplace, to manufacture kiosks to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of community supervision agencies charged with managing the nearly 4 million individuals currently on probation, parole or pretrial supervision in the United States. Combining KIS kiosks with AutoMon�s case management software automates face-to-face reporting between officers and offenders and the maintenance of offender files, allowing officers to focus their time on field visits and high-risk cases.

For probationers and defendants, the automated reporting process is quite simple. Individuals are assigned a uniquely coded magnetic stripe card, which is used to activate their caseload information at the beginning of a kiosk reporting interview. Once the probationer�s/defendant�s identity has been verified via a biometric device that reads hand geometry or fingerprints, the kiosk offers a series of questions that are tailored to the individual�s supervision type and judicially ordered conditions. Upon completion of the remote interview, probationers/defendants receive a printed receipt documenting their required session. All kiosk interviews are electronically stored, allowing officers to retrieve a complete Report to Probation Office (RPO) with a simple mouse click.

Criminal justice agencies that use KIS/AutoMon kiosks benefit from more than just remote interviewing. "Los Angeles County recently deployed 10 kiosks for use within its criminal justice system," said Tom Jones, president and CEO of AutoMon Corporation. "Located in various government buildings, police stations and work release offices, the kiosks are used to collect victim restitution and cost of supervision fees, which saves officers� time and ensures accurate records of payment." The county plans to install an additional 20 kiosks in the next year for financial collections and remote interviewing.

Public information terminals stand to benefit all types of organizations by helping to manage human resources more effectively. "In light of recent national events, it�s crucial that all law enforcement agencies evaluate how they allocate field supervision hours," noted Rick Malone, KIS president. "The deployment of kiosks is an excellent way to free officers from time-consuming in-office interviews and paperwork and give them more time to focus on critical cases and duties." Kiosk Information Systems Joins Forces with AutoMon Corporation.
