The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office used digital evidence technology in a new way, essentially converting a digital evidence management platform to an assistant prosecuting training platform. This may be the first use of a digital evidence management platform to provide attorney training on various topics in a Michigan prosecutor’s office. The county prosecutor’s office provides regular training to assistant prosecutors. The training sessions are recorded so that attorneys who are in court during various sessions may still benefit from the training. A solution was needed so that assistant prosecutors could access training videos, and administrators could ensure the training was completed by those needing to do so. Assistant prosecutors may now view office training video using the same system they use to view evidence in cases they prosecute.
