New release schedule for older case records in Vanderburgh County

We have altered our plans for releasing cases from prior years in Vanderburgh County:

Currently, we have cases from 2005 through current available.

The original plan was to release 3 more years (2001 through 2004) today and then the remaining years (1993 through 2001) on 12/23.

The new plan is to not do the small 3-year release today, and instead move all remaining years into production on 12/19.

Doing one large release simplifies our work and makes it easier to move the final completion date a few days earlier. Our apologies if the shifting plans have caused any confusion!

The Doxpop training in Evansville will be in Courtroom 110 at the civic center

Rich and I arrived yesterday afternoon to check out the room for training sessions. We will be in room 110. To find us, turn right after you've gone through the security screening area and go to the last room in the hallway.

We will have 6 computers available so those who want to try the system may do so after each training session.

We hope to see many of you there today!

Doxpop Training and Demonstration Sessions in Vanderburgh County

On Wednesday, Dec. 9th and Thursday, Dec. 10th, Doxpop will be providing training and demonstration sessions at the Civic Center Complex in Evansville. Although you don't have to register to attend, you may sign up in advance at the Vanderburgh County Courts web site. Sessions are at 10AM, 1:30PM and 3:30PM both days, and there will be an evening session at 5:30PM on Wednesday for you over-achievers who can't get away from the office during the day.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We'll be demonstrating the basics for new users and answering questions about advanced features for the folks who already use our system. We hope you to see you there!

Vanderburgh Courts join the Doxpop Network

At long last! Doxpop welcomes the courts of Vanderburgh County. 

Adding Vanderburgh County has been a substantial project spanning more than a year. The people involved in this project are too numerous to thank in a brief blog post, so we'll pick on the superstars of this project: Judge J. Douglas Knight, Clerk Susan K. Kirk and especially the tireless Timothy VanCleave, Director of Vanderburgh County Court Information Systems have been instrumental.

We are adding Vanderburgh County Court information to Doxpop in two stages:

• Currently, information on all public cases filed from January 2005 through current is available and updated every 15 minutes.
• In early December, all remaining cases will be added back through January 1993. (Limited information will be available on many cases through 1980, but complete coverage starts in 1993.)

 On December 9th and 10th, Doxpop's training staff will be on-site in Evansville to hold demonstration and training sessions. Watch this blog for more information on exact times and locations.

What's up with Kosciusko County?

The folks in Kosciusko County recently had a hard drive failure on their server. The IT staff and vendor support team are making repairs and will soon be sending Doxpop a "reload" of data. Because of the nature of the failure, we will have to do a complete reload of all data that may take some time to accomplish. Please be patient with us as we work to restore this data source.

Related *good* news: Kosciusko County is planning to move to a newer case management system that will greatly increase the reliability of our data feed in the future. That upgrade is planned for February.

Hamilton County Courts Cease Sending Updates to Doxpop

Hamilton County and Doxpop have enjoyed a close partnership in providing public access to court records over the past two years. However, the Courts of Hamilton County are switching to the Odyssey case management system provided by the Indiana Supreme Court. As a result, Doxpop is no longer able to provide access to up-to-date public information for the Hamilton Courts.

Effective Monday, 9/21/2009 at 8:00 AM EDT, Hamilton County court records will no longer be updated on Doxpop. New cases and updates to existing cases for Hamilton County will not be available on Doxpop as of that date.

Access to other Doxpop partner courts is unaffected by this change. Access to Hamilton County recorded documents is also unaffected by this change.

Important Note: This county's data was restored to the Doxpop system in November, 2011. Read the details here: http://blog.doxpop.com/2011/11/long-odyssey-doxpops-4-year-quest-pays.html

Useful Tip for Adams County cases.

Our friends in Adams County have alerted us to a couple of frequently used acronyms that are useful to know about if you are researching cases in their county:

ACLEC = Adams County Law Enforcement Center (the location of the local jail.)
ACCC = Adams County Community Corrections.

Both Circuit and Superior Court in Adams County use these frequently.

Thanks to Clerk Gayla Reinhart and Judge Patrick Miller for passing along this useful information!
