Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office Selects NICE Justice Digital Evidence Management to Streamline Criminal Justice<\/b><\/p>\n

NICE Justice will help the nation\u2019s second-largest U.S. prosecutor\u2019s office serving the Chicago metro area efficiently manage growing volumes of digital evidence to deliver timelier justice for victims<\/i><\/p>\n

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–NICE<\/a> (Nasdaq: NICE) <\/b>today announced that the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office (CCSAO), the second largest prosecutor\u2019s office in the United States, will be deploying NICE Justice<\/a>, one of the solutions in NICE\u2019s Evidencentral<\/a> platform, to streamline its criminal justice process. NICE Justice will help the State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office manage growing volumes of digital evidence with ease, reduce case backlogs and administer swifter justice. Covering the Chicago metro area and other Cook County municipalities, the CCSAO serves the 5.2 million residents of Cook County through representation in criminal prosecutions and civil matters.<\/p>\n

\nThe NICE Justice solution digitally transforms how state\u2019s attorneys and office staff receive, manage and share digital evidence. Freed from dealing with discs, drives, emails, and logging into multiple systems to manage and prepare evidence, attorneys and staff can focus on building and presenting compelling cases. NICE Justice also features built-in software for transcoding proprietary video, transcription, redacting videos and documents, tagging video, creating photobooks and video clips, and sequencing evidence on timelines.<\/p>\n

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE,<\/b> said, \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office on this important digital transformation. In addition to promoting timelier justice for victims, NICE Justice can raise morale by lightening the administrative workload so attorneys can get back to the important work of pursuing the truth and prosecuting cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly M. Foxx<\/b>, said, \u201cOur mission is to pursue justice with an aim toward creating a safer, stronger Cook County. Our investment in NICE Justice will help us deliver on this promise by modernizing how we manage digital evidence so we can speed up prosecutions and deliver timelier justice for victims.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew Saniie, Chief Data & Technology Officer for the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office<\/b>, added, \u201cOur office reviews tens of thousands of felony cases annually and the digital evidence associated with these cases is staggering. Video from cell phones, doorbell cameras, CCTV and body-worn cameras has become ubiquitous. Cases can include hundreds of hours of video and other large digital files, which need to be uploaded, analyzed, copied and shared. NICE Justice will remove the administrative burden of these manual tasks, while enabling us to use digital evidence to its fullest potential to prosecute crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office intakes digital evidence from over 120 police departments, including the Chicago Police Department. Each municipality has its own way of sharing evidence. This creates added work for office personnel who need to manually upload and catalog evidence from file sharing systems, CDs, hard drives and thumb drives. NICE Justice will streamline this process by providing one online portal for all law enforcement agencies to upload their digital evidence.<\/p>\n

\nNICE Justice also eliminates duplicate work and storage costs. Because evidence resides in the cloud and can be securely shared and accessed, there\u2019s no need to make copies of digital evidence as a case moves through the criminal justice process, from intake staff to the felony review unit and on to assistant state attorneys. Discovery with defense attorneys is also simplified through a fully trackable electronic sharing process.<\/p>\n
