Court reminders and messaging

Automated court date reminders and two-way messaging for supervision

Centralized Communications: one secure channel for every conversation. Automated court date and appointment reminders with a delivery record, plus text, call, video, and mass messaging. In a randomized trial, automated court reminders cut warrants for missed court dates by about 20%; we send more than 100,000 a year.

The Communication Problem

Scattered communication across phone, text, and email creates gaps. Important interactions fall through the cracks.

Scattered Channels

Phone, text, email with no unified record. Communication fragments across personal devices and platforms.

No Interaction Record

Critical conversations aren't documented or tracked. What was said? When? To whom? No one remembers.

Missed Check-ins

Reminders fall through gaps; participants miss appointments. Chasing people down wastes officer time.

No Secure Channel

Sensitive case communication happens over personal devices. Security and compliance risks mount.

How It Works

1

Connect

Participants are onboarded with a single secure channel. One number for texts, calls, and video.

2

Communicate

Officers reach participants through text, phone, or video. All from the RePath app. All logged automatically.

3

Track

Every interaction is recorded and time-stamped. Complete history at your fingertips.

4

Remind

Automated reminders for appointments, check-ins, and deadlines. Reduce no-shows without manual follow-up.

What Officers Are Saying

"This is it. This is the next generation of supervision."

Juvenile officer Kansas judicial district

"Using chat has significantly cut down on the amount of voicemails and phone tag I deal with since we don't have work cell phones."

Adult intensive supervision officer Kansas community corrections

"I'm not very tech savvy, but it's very simple. If I can do it, anybody can do it."

Officer Kansas judicial district

"Failures to appear go down because of the reminders. 4 reminders."

Treatment court administrator Missouri treatment court

Questions about court date reminders

Do automated court date reminders reduce failures to appear?

Yes. A randomized trial in Santa Clara County found automated reminders cut warrants for missed court dates by about 20%. Preventing a missed date cost about $10, and a missed date cost the system about $2,850. The sources are on the State of Community Supervision page.

Is there a record that each reminder was delivered?

Yes. Every reminder is logged with its delivery record on the participant's file. That matters where the law asks for it: Illinois now requires at least two text reminders before every court date, with the content and delivery receipt kept.

Can an officer message a whole docket at once?

Yes. A Missouri prosecutor put it this way: "When it's mandatory for everyone to attend a meeting or hearing, we send out a blast to every participant, just as easy as sending one group text."

Do officers need a work cell phone?

No. Officers chat, call and video from RePath, and every conversation is logged. Participants use the RePath app on the phone they already have.
