NICE Evidencentral to Digitally Transform Evidence Management for Yolo County District Attorney’s Office for Timelier Justice

NICE Evidencentral’s Justice solution will accelerate case resolutions for victims by helping attorneys access, review and find the truth in digital evidence faster

NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, Yolo County, California, will be deploying NICE Justice, one of the solutions in NICE’s Evidencentral cloud-based platform, to transform how it manages digital evidence. With digital evidence increasing at an astounding rate, and growing pressure to accelerate discovery with law enforcement agencies and disclose digital evidence to defense attorneys faster, Yolo County is turning to NICE Justice to automate processes around intaking, reviewing, and sharing digital evidence.

The Yolo County DA’s Office handles thousands of cases annually and coordinates with over a dozen law enforcement agencies. With NICE Justice, agencies will upload digital evidence through a secure, online portal. NICE Justice also integrates with Yolo County’s case management system. A correlation engine ensures all digital evidence is automatically deposited into the correct digital case folder, and immediately becomes available for viewing. With a high volume of cases and a constant flow of digital evidence arriving on various media, the potential to miss evidence is real. With NICE Justice, all digital evidence is captured, stored, reviewed and shared from one place. Attorneys can easily request supplemental evidence through a fully-audited electronic process.

Yolo County District Attorney (DA) Jeff Reisig said, “The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office has always been quick to embrace innovation in our pursuit of truth and justice for victims. When you’re dealing with issues involving criminal justice, and especially situations where people have been victimized, the ability to rapidly cull through digital evidence is essential for timely justice. NICE Justice is going to enable faster case resolutions for victims and greater transparency for those accused of crimes, by helping our attorneys access, review and find the truth in digital evidence faster. We’re also looking to improve how we collaborate with our law enforcement and justice partners by streamlining and standardizing how digital evidence is received and shared.”

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, “The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office is one of a growing number of justice and public safety agencies, both within North America and around the world, that are embracing NICE Justice and other solutions in our Evidencentral digital transformation platform, to uncover the truth with digital evidence, and streamline the justice process from incident to court.”

Under certain cases, suspects in custody must be charged within 48 hours. Video and 911 calls are often crucial to charging decisions, but difficult to access in a timely fashion. NICE Justice makes digital evidence available faster and automatically transcodes videos for immediate viewing. With the addition of built-in state-of-the-art transcription and keyword search tools, attorneys can scan the content of videos in minutes, instead of watching them for hours. In addition, all evidence can be replayed synchronously on a timeline, or viewed on a map. Furthermore, in cases where video or audio evidence presented in court needs to be transcribed for juries for admissibility, with NICE Justice’s built-in transcription tools, attorneys can transcribe audio or video files in minutes.

In addition, trial preparation involves manual time-consuming work. Attorneys need to key in work requests for video and audio clips, transcriptions, redactions and photo enhancements, which can take days or weeks to process. With NICE Justice, attorneys have easy-to-use tools for trial preparation, all in one place, freeing them from clerical work and long wait times so they can focus on building stronger cases.
