Philadelphia Video Arraignment System Upgrade and Expansion The First Judicial District of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania currently operates a multi-agency, Video Arraignment system that uses teleconferencing equipment for the arrest-to-arraignment process.  The system enables face-to-face hearings between court personnel and detainees located at remote police districts and prison locations.  Benefits of Video Arraignment include faster arrest-to-arraignment processing by eliminating the need to transport detainees to the courthouse.  Due to the successful implementation of the system seven years ago, the court system is expanding video arraignment to new sites and also upgrading the system with current technology.  Alta provided project management services from the initial development, through the design, procurement, and implementation phases of the project. This project, valued at approximately $700,000, continues a management consulting relationship that began over eight years ago with the development of Criminal Justice Center (CJC) and the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS).  Majid Alsayegh, Joe Resta, James K.
