HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

(Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that the Florida’s State Attorney's Office for the Eighth Judicial Circuit will be deploying digital evidence management, one of the AI-powered solutions in NICE’s platform, to move cases through the criminal justice system faster. Through its deployment of NICE Justice, the State Attorney's Office, under the leadership of State Attorney Brian S. Kramer, aims to redirect more time, energy and effort into prosecuting cases by automating its management of growing digital evidence. The Office handles approximately 18,000 felony, misdemeanor and juvenile cases annually.

The cloud-based NICE Justice solution digitally transforms how prosecutors’ offices manage discovery, receive and share digital evidence, and create their work product and trial exhibits. 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 features built-in AI and automation capabilities for managing digital evidence that include automated case building, object detection, video and audio transcription and translation, optical character recognition (OCR), analytics and finding evidence and case connections.

Brian S. Kramer, State Attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit, said, “With NICE Justice, our attorneys and staff will be able to redirect more time, energy and effort into prosecution-oriented activities, instead of managing digital evidence. In addition to supporting successful prosecutions, NICE Justice is going to help us move cases through the criminal justice system faster. Everyone benefits from timelier justice, including courts, defendants and victims, and communities and taxpayers as well.”

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, “Whether you are prosecuting cases or defending clients, digital evidence is central to the truth. But as evidence volume and complexity grows, managing it the same old way is bogging everyone down. Whether trying to win criminal cases or defend them, with NICE Justice, everyone in the criminal justice system can work more efficiently and make decisions based on the full set of facts.”

Staffed by 41 prosecutors and 80 support staff, the State Attorney's Office for the Eighth Judicial Circuit has been inundated by rapidly expanding digital evidence. The Office received 26,000 evidence files per month in 2023, a 24 percent increase over the prior year. Complicating matters further, the Office works with 26 law enforcement partners who use different methods and evidence systems, requiring Office staff to manually download, upload, transfer, or import evidence in various inefficient ways.

NICE Justice will standardize and automate how the Office manages this growing volume of digital evidence, starting with evidence intake. Law Enforcement agencies can now upload their digital evidence to the cloud through a single, secure online portal. NICE Justice also integrates with various shared drives, case management, in-car, and body-worn video systems to automatically ingest and deposit evidence into the correct digital case folders, where it is immediately accessible for viewing.

In addition to boosting efficiency, NICE Justice will enable assistant state attorneys and staff to meet tight discovery deadlines and produce a better product for successful prosecution of cases. The solution features built-in capabilities for transcoding and redacting video, creating clips, inserting annotations, organizing images, transcribing audio and video, sequencing evidence on timelines, and digitally sharing evidence with defense attorneys in a single click.
