ABOUT DETECTIVE ANALYTICS
It all started in 2015 during a chance meeting between a loss prevention investigations team and a mathematician.
The problem was simple: We know there are groups of criminals that are repeatedly striking us, but it is nearly impossible to detect these repeat criminal groups.
The request was simple: How can we use the vast amount of data we have to connect the dots between crimes and uncover these repeat criminals and criminal networks so that we can prosecute them?
What started out as a simple proof of concept has turned into the most advanced crime-linking software on the planet.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
“We don’t care about providing high-level crime stats or dashboards showing how much crime happened today, and how much more is predicted to happen tomorrow. We care about providing intelligent end-to-end crime solving solutions that directly take down criminals. We provide the software that actually drives those numbers down.”

Loved By Top LP Investigations Teams
“This program is easy to use and quickly highlights cases that are connected to each other. If outside retailers are also part of DA, their cases will also cross connect making it easier to collaborate on same suspects. Packaging cases for prosecution couldn't be easier. With a click of a button the cases are bundled into an electronic file that includes all linked cases, visual mapping of the cases, time/date of occurrence etc. which can be sent via email to law enforcement. A Detective with the Sacramento Sheriff Department told us "this is the most professional case presentation I have ever received."”
