This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835) will enhance the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office's ability to use and manage digital evidence from body-worn cameras and other sources. The award will enable the Prosecutor's Office to create a specialized team focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of digital evidence processing. This funding comes at a critical time, as 15 of the 22 police agencies in Macomb County, representing 94% of sworn officers, have now adopted body-worn cameras, leading to a significant increase in digital evidence submissions to the Prosecutor's Office. The award will support the ongoing rollout of key digital evidence management systems, including Evidence.com by Axon and a digital case management system by Karpel, to establish a foundation for handling the growing volume of digital evidence.
