The Maricopa County Attorney's Office (MCAO) received a $996,803 federal Project Grant from the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant will fund the implementation of the NICE Justice Digital Evidence Management Solution (MCAO DEMS Project) to streamline the storage, processing, and redaction of body-worn camera footage and other digital evidence for cases submitted by over 30 law enforcement agencies in Maricopa County, Arizona. Key project activities include integrating the NICE digital evidence management system and implementing the Pimloc secure redaction software to enhance privacy protection. The grant will also support hiring an IT consultant, a management analyst, and a technology trainer to ensure successful implementation and utilization of the new systems. Expected outcomes include improved efficiency in digital evidence management, compliance with record retention policies, and more streamlined case processing for MCAO staff, law enforcement partners, and the residents of Maricopa County.
