NICE announced that the Shelby County (Alabama) Commission, on behalf of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office and the Shelby County District Attorney?s Office, has selected NICE?s Evidencentral platform to transform the County?s management of digital evidence. Through their deployment of Evidencentral, the County?s Public Safety and Justice agencies aim to eliminate manual work associated with managing digital evidence so they can ensure timelier justice by focusing attention exclusively on investigating and prosecuting cases. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office and the Shelby County District Attorney?s Office collaborate on thousands of investigations and prosecutions annually.

Evidencentral will streamline the collaborative criminal justice process, while improving overall effectiveness of investigations and prosecutions, by automatically pulling in digital evidence from connected systems, making it easier to crowdsource evidence from citizens, eliminating manual and redundant processes, automatically transcoding video into a playable format, and making it possible to share evidence via a secure, trackable, digital process.
