About the Georgia Attorney General's Office
The State of Georgia Office of the Attorney General is the state's chief legal officer. It upholds state law, advises government agencies, and handles cases that include gang activity and child trafficking.
The Challenge: Evidence Scattered Across 29 Agencies
Building cases against gangs and trafficking networks meant pulling evidence together from 29 separate law enforcement agencies. That evidence lived on flash drives, hard drives, and CDs that had to be physically handed off between offices. Every transfer was slow, and every device was a liability. It could be lost, damaged, or opened by someone who should not have had access.
The office also had to share sensitive material under the Statewide Data Sharing Policy and the Georgia Open Records Act, and the existing setup made that hard to do without risking either compliance or chain of custody. What the office needed was one place to organize, search, and share evidence, with the controls to prove who touched what and when.
The Solution: One Secure, Centralized Evidence Platform
The office moved its evidence onto VIDIZMO Digital Evidence Management System, a single secure repository in place of scattered physical media. Evidence is uploaded once, organized into cases, and found again through AI-powered search rather than manual sorting.
Access is governed by role-based permissions, so administrators decide exactly what each user across the 29 agencies can see. Audit logs record who opened a file and what they changed, tamper verification flags any alteration, and location and domain restrictions keep access inside authorized agencies. For public records requests under the Open Records Act, built-in audio and video redaction hides sensitive details before anything is released.
The AI features take on the work that used to eat investigators' time. Automatic tagging and keyword and label detection make evidence searchable the moment it lands, and agencies can annotate video and documents to point colleagues straight to what matters in a case.
The Results: Secure Evidence Sharing Across the State
Moving off physical media changed how quickly the office can act on a case. Evidence from any of the 29 agencies now sits in one place, searchable the moment it is uploaded, and shareable without a courier or a thumb drive.
- Evidence moves securely across all 29 agencies, with no physical drives to lose, damage, or misplace.
- Investigators find what they need through tags, keywords, and labels instead of sorting files by hand.
- Shared annotations let everyone on a case mark and discuss the same evidence directly.
- Role-based access and audit logs make every action on a piece of evidence traceable, which protects chain of custody in court.
