Case Study: Contra Costa County District Attorney achieves unbiased charging compliance with ScaleCapacity on AWS

Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office Makes Unbiased Charging Decisions with ScaleCapacity Generative AI Solution on AWS

Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office needed a way to comply with California’s Race-Blind Charging mandate by redacting race and other sensitive information from police reports before charging decisions were made. Working with vendor Amazon SES as part of an AWS-based solution, the office sought to automate this process without adding burden to attorneys or disrupting its existing case workflow.

Amazon SES helped implement an AI-driven redaction and case-processing solution using services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Textract, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Cognito, and Amazon SES. The result was a production-ready system delivered in six months that automatically redacts sensitive data for about 17,000 cases per year, enables rule changes in under a week, and supports faster, more unbiased charging decisions with minimal training and workflow disruption.
