During the first half of 2024, digitalization was one of the key tools to improve the work of NABU and SAPO. It allows for the optimization of the workflow of various departments and makes internal processes more transparent and open.

The eCase MS electronic criminal proceedings system, integrated with the automated court document management system (D-3) in late 2023, has significantly streamlined the investigation process and saved both time and resources. NABU detectives, SAPO prosecutors, and HACC judges no longer waste time on paperwork, as procedural documents are now filled out and transferred electronically. Currently, the eCase system offers over 60 types of documents, covering 80% of a detective's workload. We are working to fully transfer all procedural documentation to digital format.

Additionally, as part of the paperless policy, NABU is transforming accounting and management records into digital format.

In May 2024, the regular elections to the Civil Oversight Council at NABU took place. This time, NABU optimized the electronic voting protocol by using the Diia app to verify voters' identities. This made the election process more transparent and open, helping to prevent any manipulation during the voting.

NABU will proceed with its digitalization efforts. The plans include developing the eCase system by expanding the range of digital procedural documents, increasing integration with the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations and the judicial system, and establishing digital interaction with the defense.

The National Bureau is also working on implementing a KPI system for evaluating detectives' performance. This will reduce the subjective factor in internal processes, enhance the efficiency of operational units, and increase overall transparency and openness within NABU.
