But today, with the digitization of records, it is easier for citizens to gain access to all the information of proceedings that is allowed for their use. Since this is criminal justice information, it is the duty of the law enforcement to keep the information secured and avoid misuse of confidential data. Ever since data was transferred electronically, it has made the organization work more smoothly and efficiently.

Students get proper training to enhance their learning skills and they gain valuable experience. Students are perceived as future assets that are paired with senior employees who mentor them and transfer their knowledge.

When the senior engineers decide to leave the organization, there is an army of future leaders ready to take on the mantle. Providing the right platform to encourage innovation and ideas are also pivotal for building the next generation to work competently.
