Polycom video helps Virginia Supreme Court ensure due process, bolster public safety, and save money Virginia is one of a handful of states in the nation that employs judicial officers - magistrates - to issue a warrant for every arrest that's made. Every sheriff's deputy and police officer must immediately transport any person arrested to the magistrate's location and wait while it's determined whether probable cause exists for an arrest warrant to be issued. This takes law enforcement officers off the streets and away from their jobs of safeguarding the public. Looking for a remedy to the situation, the Virginia Supreme Court Department of Judicial Information Technology identified video conferencing as a solution. In the city of Richmond, VA, the use of video conferencing has decreased the overall time for officers to have a probable cause hearing from more than one hour down to 20 minutes.
