A service available to all DAIT customers, at no cost, that leverages off-the-shelf software, Cerberus, to transfer files between DA offices and key justice partners.
With each DA office acting as the coordinating entity for its county, law enforcement, public defense, private defense, and other interested parties at justice partner agencies can now digitally transfer videos, photos, or other large files they would have otherwise delivered on DVD or paper.
DEST provides a way to transfer files within a CJIS-secure environment. File storage is not included, a critical difference between Cerberus and other products. Files are uploaded by one justice partner and then downloaded and stored locally by another,
Interested DA offices designate a coordinator who receives training from DAIT. This person then works with their county justice partners to set up necessary accounts and answer questions, with DAIT support available if needed.
Use of this file transfer product/service is completely voluntary. Some DA offices may have preferred alternative solutions. Those interested can start by calling the DAIT Support Desk.
