TrakMan Customer San Bernardino Superior Court Wins Prestigious California Award

The Judicial Council of California announced on April 15th the recipients of the 2004-2005 Ralph N. Kleps Awards for Improvement in Administration of the Courts, an annual awards program recognizing innovation in the state's courts.

TrakMan, from CSI, is an integral part of San Bernardino's records management program. The Court was cited for its comprehensive, automated system that tracks more than 3 million files and records from 15 locations under one roof. More than 70 percent of inventory is active and immediately available for court hearings.

Selected from a field of 44 nominations, the council selected 11 exemplary programs for awards that will be presented on September 7, 2005, at the Statewide Judicial Branch Conference in San Diego.

Created in 1991 in honor of Ralph N. Kleps, the first administrative director of the California courts, the awards are given in five categories based on the numbers of authorized judicial positions (AJPs) in the courts. Programs nominated must be innovative, transferable to other courts, and in operation for at least one year.
