Boost Your OoCR Programme with Diversion Manager

UK police forces are at a crossroads, relying on outdated spreadsheets to manage their Out-of-Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes. This reliance on dated technology is inefficient and can lead to inaccurate information. By adopting modern automation tools, police forces can enhance the quality, consistency, and efficiency of their OoCR programmes.

The problem with spreadsheets is that, while they have long been the go-to tool for tracking offender progress in OoCR programmes, this manual approach presents several significant drawbacks. Spreadsheets are prone to human error, making data entry and updates not only time-consuming but also unreliable. The lack of real-time information and inconsistent data accuracy further complicates the tracking process. Additionally, spreadsheets offer no automated task management features and do not provide user activity logs, making it difficult to monitor and improve efficiency within these programmes.

The Challenges of Traditional OoCR Management

Traditionally, managing OoCR programmes has involved a hefty reliance on manual processes and spreadsheets. While these methods may have sufficed in the past, they often lead to significant challenges, including:

Inefficiency: Manual data entry and tracking can be time-consuming and tedious, reducing the time that legal professionals can dedicate to higher-priority tasks.

Error-Prone Processes: Spreadsheets are notorious for being prone to human error. Data entry mistakes can result in serious inaccuracies, undermining the credibility of case records and potentially impacting legal outcomes.

Limited Collaboration: Utilising disparate systems and spreadsheets makes it difficult for various stakeholders—such as law enforcement, prosecutors, and community organisations—to communicate effectively and access the same information.

Lack of Real-Time Analytics: Tracking progress and generating reports manually can hinder the ability to make data-driven decisions, leading to delays in case resolutions.
