Case Study: Broward County State Attorney’s Office achieves faster, fairer digital discovery with Axon Justice (Axon)

How Broward County Prosecutors are Modernizing Discovery for Faster, Fairer Cases

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office, the second-largest prosecutor’s office in Florida with over 200 prosecutors and 450+ staff handling tens of thousands of cases each year, faced an overwhelming surge of digital evidence—millions of items (3.8 million pieces in 2023) from body-worn cameras, surveillance and mobile devices—and relied on slow, manual discovery processes that risked delays and compliance issues. To modernize discovery and meet Brady obligations, the office implemented Axon Justice from Axon.

Axon Justice centralized cloud storage, one-click discovery sharing, automated tracking, searchable transcriptions and built-in redaction tools, enabling prosecutors to send discovery instantly, verify receipt, and find key moments in seconds. The Axon solution cut discovery turnaround from weeks to minutes, eliminated local storage constraints, improved defense-prosecution collaboration and compliance, and allowed the office to efficiently manage millions of pieces of evidence while freeing attorneys to focus on case preparation and victims.
