Previous PagePreliminary Arraignment System (PARS)

In January 1998, the Police Department, along with the Mayor's Office of Information Services (MOIS) and several other criminal justice agencies, completed the installation of the Preliminary Arraignment System (PARS).

This system is designed to capture all arrest information that pertains to individuals charged with a crime in Philadelphia. It is based upon client server technology and is configured into a wide area network that services every police installation that processes prisoners. PARS is connected to the District Attorney's Office, which uses the system to aid in the arraignment process. It is also used by the First Judicial District to aid in pre-trial investigations, bail determination and in the creation of legal documents to be used in court.

The Philadelphia Police PARS system has been the subject of significant interest by both domestic and international police agencies.
