As a competence center for digital transformation in criminal justice, HIS Schweiz provides supportive assistance to all authorities and stakeholders in the criminal justice chain (police, public prosecutor's office, court, corrections).
With a team of currently around 25 people, we accompany the Confederation, Cantons, and authorities on the path to digitalization and standardization – from consulting to implementation. In doing so, we create the foundation to move step by step from paper-intensive working methods to electronic legal transactions and to realize the vision of fully digitalized work in criminal proceedings.
