NICE’s Evidencentral Digital Evidence Management Platform Receives ASTORS’ Best Investigation Solution Award

Feb 28, 2024

NICE Evidencentral recognized for AI capabilities that help investigators and prosecutors find the truth in digital evidence faster, to reduce case backlogs and delays

Hoboken, N.J., February 28, 2024 – NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that solutions from the NICE Evidencentral platform have been named to the ASTORS Awards-winner’s list. Sponsored by American Security Today, the ASTORS Awards recognize innovative solutions that support law enforcement, criminal justice and public safety agencies in their mission to fight crime and keep cities and communities safe and secure. NICE Investigate and NICE Justice, solutions within NICE’s Evidencentral platform, were named gold award recipients in the Best Investigation Solution category. The solutions were recognized by AST for their use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in transforming how growing digital evidence is managed.

Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said,“Digital evidence is growing exponentially and it’s slowing down the justice process. NICE’s AI-powered Digital Evidence Management solutions automate tedious investigation and trial preparation tasks, so investigators and prosecutors can find the truth in digital evidence faster and reduce case backlogs and delays.”

A 2023 NICE Public Safety & Justice Prosecutor Benchmark Study confirms that challenges managing growing digital evidence are contributing to case backlogs. One issue that slows prosecutors down is the sheer number of systems prosecutors and investigators need to work in to find and prepare digital evidence for cases and trial.

Video evidence is especially challenging to work with as it may need to be transcoded to make it playable. Prosecutors and police investigators also frequently need to redact video, transcribe it, or create clips. Each of these activities requires them to work in different systems, or initiate requests which can take days or weeks to complete, contributing to a delayed justice process.

NICE’s AI-powered Digital Evidence Management suite removes these delays and worries. For example, using cloud-based transcription, prosecutors and investigators can quickly scan the content of audio and video recordings to expedite evidence review and charging decisions. With Object Character Recognition, previously unsearchable evidence such as hand-written notes, PDFs and text content stored within images, can be scanned and made keyword-searchable. The NICE solutions also use AI to search across connected evidence sources and recommend evidence, and automatically redact material from video evidence.
