NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that the Office of the State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County (Maryland) has selected NICE Justice, one of the AI-powered solutions in NICE’s Evidencentral platform, to enhance its prosecutorial effectiveness, and its ability to administer justice fairly, efficiently and diligently. The Office serves as the chief law enforcement agency for Prince George's County, which is home to nearly one million residents. It handles approximately 30,000 criminal cases annually, covering a range of offenses from traffic violations to murder.

The cloud-based NICE Justice solution will digitally transform how state attorneys and office staff receive, interact with, 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 will be able to focus on building and presenting compelling cases. NICE Justice also features built-in AI and automation capabilities for object detection, automated case building, video and audio transcription and translation, optical character recognition (OCR), analytics and finding evidence connections.

State Attorney Aisha N. Braveboy, who led the effort to bring NICE Justice into the State Attorney’s Office to improve digital evidence management, and has a strong record of prosecuting violent offenders and implementing strategies to reduce crime, said, “Our office oversees the highest number of cases of any county in Maryland. We are dedicated to administering a justice system that is strong, effective, innovative, restorative, and balanced, and focused on victims and the safety and well-being of our communities. Digital evidence is vital to this mission, but managing ever-increasing digital evidence is becoming more challenging by the day. NICE Justice is going to help us meet our burden of proof and administer justice fairly, efficiently, and diligently. I would like to thank Senator Chris Van Hollen and Retired Senator Ben Cardin for sponsoring Federal earmarked funding from the FY23 Department of Justice COPS Program for Technology and Equipment which allowed our office to enter into the contract to obtain NICE Justice. Their recognition of the importance that digital evidence plays now and in the future is a testament to their commitment to public safety in Maryland.”

Charles R Glenn Jr., Director of IT for the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Office, stated, “With change comes progress. As a cloud-based solution, NICE Justice is going to position us in a better light moving forward. We’ll be able to manage all of our evidence in one place, leveraging automated workflows to lighten the workload for our attorneys and staff. It will also reduce our dependency on physical servers and give our attorneys confidence in their ability to access digital evidence, whenever and wherever they need it, even at trial.”

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, commented, “Achieving justice for victims hinges on uncovering the truth. However, without a centralized location to gather and assemble complete digital evidence, finding that truth can be elusive. Our AI-powered NICE Justice optimizes digital evidence management by incorporating AI, analytics, and workflow automation. This platform provides attorneys with a single, secure, and efficient place to manage, locate, connect, and share digital evidence, so they can uncover the truth and prosecute cases effectively.”

The Office of the State’s Attorney (comprised of several hundred prosecutors, attorneys, investigators, agents, and support personnel) is dedicated to seeking justice for victims, as the number of criminal cases continues to grow annually. With a recent regulation enacted related to the deployment of body-worn cameras by police departments in Maryland, the amount of digital evidence related to cases is expected to increase as well.

The Office's intake team currently spends entire workdays downloading and uploading evidence across various systems. In addition to increasing the risk of evidence being duplicated or lost, the disjointed nature of evidence makes it more difficult to access and consolidate for trial preparation. Additionally, the Office collaborates with over two dozen law enforcement agencies, which all submit evidence in different manual ways.

NICE Justice will simplify the process of evidence intake by providing a single, unified portal for securely uploading digital evidence. Once uploaded, evidence is automatically consolidated into digital case folders stored in the cloud, making it immediately available to attorneys to start preparing cases. Additionally, NICE Justice will save time during trial preparation by providing built-in tools that enable attorneys to efficiently prepare and manage trial exhibits, sequence video and audio evidence on timelines, create video clips, electronically share evidence with defense and courts, and much more.
