DAMION Advocate is a standalone product that has all the case tracking and person database features included in the DAMION Criminal module, along with all the features included in the Victim/Witness module.
DAMION Advocate provides expanded services for victims and witnesses. The module is used to assign, maintain and track services provided for victims and witnesses of existing criminal cases (when integrated with DAMION Adult), as well as cases that are opened by the Victim/Witness Group.
Features
The information tracked in the Advocate is designed to support the types of reports required by government agencies and agencies providing grant funding.
A Confidential Address tab is available where the victim's actual address is stored. Only individuals with permission to access the case will have access to this address.
Additional information tracked using Advocate includes:
- Special needs of individuals involved with a Victim/Witness case, i.e., if an individual is elderly or has a terminal illness
- Grants requirements tracking is available in the processing of the case
- The name of the agency from which a case, victim or witness has been referred
- The name(s) of the Suspect/Defendant associated with the case
- Tracking of Derivative Cases
- Recording of crime types associated with the case
In addition to the many features offered by Advocate, some benefits include:
- The ability to secure sensitive information and to provide access only to those individuals granted the appropriate security clearance
- Quick and easy access to statistical information needed for reporting functions
- Integration with the General Person Lookup System, thereby lowering the amount of data entry necessary to maintain case information
- Automated document production functions so that documents may be created and generated quickly and easily by any member of the staff
- Integration with email and calendaring systems allows for events to be scheduled directly to a calendar or for a reminder to be emailed to the appropriate people
