Case Study: Northern Territory Police and Department of Public Prosecutions streamline evidence sharing with Axon Justice Premier

How the Northern Territory Police and Department of Public Prosecutions streamlined evidence intake and sharing

Northern Territory Police and the Department of Public Prosecutions in Australia’s vast Northern Territory needed a better way to manage and share evidence, especially when COVID-19 made in-person court processes difficult. They had been relying on physical files and a system that was hard to adapt for prosecution workflows, creating delays, travel burdens, and frustration across the justice process. Axon’s evidence tools were already in use, but the team needed a more suitable solution for electronic briefs and disclosure.

Axon implemented Justice Premier to create a centralized, cloud-based hub for digital evidence, automate brief creation, and streamline sharing with prosecutors and defence through tools like Disclosure Portal. The result was faster evidence intake, fewer errors, reduced printing and travel costs, and easier court preparation. The Northern Territory DPP estimated Axon saved around $50,000 in printing costs in the first six months alone, while also cutting major travel and logistics expenses across thousands of cases each year.
