2018 marks the third consecutive year that NICE has received awards for NICE Inform and NICE Investigate in the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.

Sponsored by American Security Today, the ‘ASTORS’ Awards recognize outstanding product development achievements and exciting new technologies that support law enforcement agencies, first responders and other government entities in their mission to keep cities and communities safe and secure.

NICE Inform was named Best 911 Recording and Analytics Solution, and NICE Investigate received the top award in the Best Investigation category in the 2018 ‘ASTORS.’

NICE Investigate: Best Investigation Solution

This year, NICE Investigate took home top honors in the Best Investigation Solution category.

As digital evidence continues to grow at a rapid pace, it’s creating a perfect storm.

Mounting digital evidence is on a collision course with outdated technology and decades-old investigative processes, and police departments are reaching a breaking point.

Running on the secure Microsoft Azure Government cloud, NICE Investigate is a comprehensive, scalable, CJIS-compliant, cloud-based, end-to-end solution for managing investigations and digital evidence.

NICE Investigate automates digital evidence collection, analysis and sharing to enhance case solvability and transform investigators into more efficient and effective crime-solvers.

NICE Investigate will totally transform how your department manages investigations and digital evidence, saving you time and money, improving case solvability, and much more.

NICE Inform: Best 911 Recording and Analytics Solution

ASTORS Gold 2018NICE Inform was also recognized for its text-to-911 recording capabilities.

More than 1,700 PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) across the U.S. are now able to receive 911 texts, up from just over 100 PSAPs three years ago.

Emergency communications centers routinely record 911 calls for liability protection, Quality Assurance, incident reconstructions and investigations, but as momentum builds around 911 texting, they need to gear up to record and analyze 911 texts and other future Next Generation multimedia information.

NICE Inform provides a full suite of multimedia recording, incident reconstruction and operational intelligence capabilities to assist PSAPs as they migrate to Next Generation 911 and FirstNet LTE.
