Douglas County District Attorney\u2019s Office Selects NICE Justice to <\/b>Manage Growing Digital Evidence<\/b><\/p>\n

Douglas County DA is the third District Attorney\u2019s Office in Georgia to deploy NICE <\/i>Justice for digital transformation<\/i><\/p>\n

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–NICE<\/b><\/a> (Nasdaq: NICE) <\/b>today announced that the Douglas County (Georgia) District Attorney\u2019s Office is deploying NICE Justice<\/a>, one of the solutions in NICE\u2019s Evidencentral<\/a> platform, to streamline the criminal justice process through digital transformation. Through its ability to help staff manage growing digital evidence with ease, NICE Justice will support the Douglas County District Attorney\u2019s Office in its mission to seek justice for victims of crime by enabling attorneys to focus their time on successful prosecutions, instead of wasting time on administrative tasks.<\/p>\n

\nThe NICE Justice cloud-based digital evidence management solution digitally transforms how district attorneys, investigators, paralegals and office staff receive, interact with, manage and share digital evidence, from beginning to end. 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.<\/p>\n

Douglas County District Attorney Dalia Racine, <\/b>said, \u201cModern technology is generating increasing amounts of digital evidence. It can be a game-changer in terms of understanding what happened at a crime scene, but digesting and processing this ever-growing mountain of digital evidence can be a colossal undertaking. Simply put, digital evidence has outpaced our human capabilities and manual processes used to manage it. With NICE Justice we can spend less time managing digital evidence and more time prosecuting cases. We\u2019re excited to integrate NICE Justice into the vital work we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE<\/strong>, <\/b>said,\u201cDouglas County now joins many other agencies across the United States which are digitally transforming how they manage digital evidence using NICE Justice. In the fight for justice, digital evidence is a crucial tool in every prosecutor\u2019s arsenal, but as digital evidence continues to grow, it can be difficult to manage. Our market-proven NICE Justice solution gives DA\u2019s offices the capabilities they need to leverage digital evidence for successful prosecutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAs one of the largest legal employers in Douglas County, the District Attorney\u2019s Office is managing an ever-increasing felony crime caseload. In 2022, the Office handled over two-thousand cases, some involving large volumes of digital evidence, including camera footage, cell phone and geo-location data, as well as body-worn video. Adding to the complexity, law enforcement agencies each have their own method of sharing digital evidence, which often arrives at the DA\u2019s Office on CDs, DVDs and jump drives. NICE Justice will significantly streamline this intake process by providing a single portal through which all evidence is electronically received and submitted.<\/p>\n

\nDiscovery with defense attorneys is also challenging. Each year, Douglas County paralegals spend thousands of hours downloading and copying digital evidence onto physical media and external drives. As evidence is shared with defense, questions invariably arise as to whether materials were sent and received. In addition to supporting various criminal justice information standards, NICE Justice provides accountability and saves time by automating the entire discovery process. Paralegals simply email links to digital case files. The system automatically tracks when evidence is received and opened.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cUltimately, our mission is to seek justice for victims of crime and to do so with excellence and integrity,\u201d added District Attorney Racine<\/b>. \u201cIn order to achieve our mission in a world where digital evidence is increasing, we must innovate. NICE Justice will help us be nimbler and quicker in processing case files, while eliminating the need for paper discovery and digital copies of evidence on CDs and DVDs. With NICE, we will be able to focus more on prosecution and less on administrative and clerical tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
