The staff you have finish more of every file. The price is lower than the records systems that added AI later, and the agreement is one year.
The strain is the unread pile: body-worn camera, interviews, lab reports, and the paper file. Extraction, organization, and the first draft are done before a prosecutor opens the case. The same people spend the day on judgment. You do not hire another prosecutor to get through the recordings.
Typically 30%–50% less than the non-AI-native alternatives. Twelve months, paid up front. No onboarding fee. The office can leave when the year ends. Axon requires a five-year minimum and adds a $15,000 minimum. Signed public orders for NiCE Justice are usually five years, and that service cannot be canceled in the middle of the term.
Prosecutor IQ was built to do the work inside the file. A records system that later adds a chat box still leaves the reading, the witness list, and the chronology to the staff. Here those are the product, not a feature attached to an older one.
Holds the record and hands off discovery, with Brief One, Auto-Transcribe, Redaction, and Axon Investigate.
5-year minimum. A $15,000 minimum on top.
Stores and tracks the office's evidence. Evidencentral AI is the layer NiCE adds to that record.
Usually 5 years, and not cancelable mid-term.
Does the work inside the file. Extraction, organization, the moments in the recording, and a draft a prosecutor accepts, edits, or discards.
12 months, paid up front. Cancel when the year ends.
Green is something the product does. Red is something it does not. The Axon Justice column is what Axon advertises for Axon Justice, Brief One, Auto-Transcribe, Redaction, and Axon Investigate. The NiCE column is what NiCE advertises for prosecutor evidence management and Evidencentral AI. Their 911 call-center tools are not in this column. Neither column is a guess, and the Axon column does not score Axon Records.

Storage is unlimited. Archived video is 50 cents an hour per year, and documents, audio, and images stay with the case. An agency sends body-camera files in through a portal. Axon camera files carry their own timestamps, and those line the cameras up. The audit log cannot be rewritten: uploads, views, playback, downloads, redactions, and disclosures are recorded, and a disclosure produces a certificate of what was sent. A prosecutor still decides. Prosecutor IQ is paid up front for 12 months, and the office can cancel when those 12 months end. NiCE does not publish a required term. Signed public orders for NiCE Justice are usually five years, and the service cannot be canceled in the middle of that term.
Axon Justice and NiCE were built to store and track the record. Tools they added later sit on that cabinet. Prosecutor IQ starts from the files you upload to the case. Read the file, pull out the facts, organize them, mark the moments in a recording, and provide the prosecutor a draft for review. The agents cite every fact back to the record: the page, the quote, or the moment. There is no legacy case screen with an AI button added to the side. A prosecutor still decides.
Body-worn camera, interviews, lab reports, and the paper file arrive faster than a staff can read them. Axon Justice and NiCE were built to store that record. Prosecutor IQ was built for the work the record requires. A transcript of what was said, and a separate transcript of what is on camera. Seventy-five event categories, with the moments marked. A timeline. A statement checked against the rest of the file. Research proposed for a prosecutor to review. A draft waiting for a decision. A prosecutor or staff can query the recording, or the whole case, in plain language.
Another prosecutor is a salary, a search, and a long time before that person carries a full docket. The office can keep the prosecutors it has and put them on judgment. The extraction, the organization, and the first draft are handled, so the same staff get more of the file finished. A prosecutor still decides.
The rate is set from the cases the office handled in the past 12 months. That count estimates the year ahead. The contract is one year and paid up front, with no onboarding fee, and the office can cancel when those 12 months end. Axon requires a five-year minimum, and Axon and others add a $15,000 minimum. Signed public orders for NiCE Justice are usually five years, and that service cannot be canceled in the middle of the term. Prosecutor IQ is typically 30%-50% cheaper than those non-AI-native alternatives.
Agencies send body-camera files in through a portal, including Axon camera files, and the cameras line up to real time. The moments are marked. A person in the office can assemble a package for court: the video, the captions, and both transcripts. This is the tool for the evidence on the desk now.
