The force-owned operating system for modern investigations.
Trace Vantage brings intelligence collection, data interrogation, analysis, secure collaboration, evidence handling and disclosure into one governed platform installed within the force environment.
The force controls its data, chooses where AI runs, and can build new operational capability on a platform it owns for life.
Installed within your environment
Operational data remains under force authority.
Perpetual ownership
Purchase once and retain the platform for life.
Governed AI
Local or approved-cloud models, human-authorised, fully audited.
Built to evolve
Force-specific workflows on the governed foundation.
Owned, governed, and installed in your environment.
The prevailing model licenses investigation software by the seat and runs it on the vendor's cloud. It suits many organisations. It is simply a different fit for a force that must hold its own data, adapt on its own timeline, and plan capability across decades. The comparison below is between two operating models, not a judgement on any vendor.
Connected from collection to courtroom.
Trace Vantage links the full investigative chain within one governed environment. Provenance, authority and audit travel forward at every stage, rather than being reconstructed later.
Collect
OSINT, provider returns, forensic extracts, structured data.
Interrogate
Parse into one timeline; question it in plain language.
Analyse
Entity, link, financial, comms and geospatial intelligence.
Collaborate
Secure case rooms, handling controls, evidence promotion.
Evidence
Hashing, provenance, exhibits, chain of custody.
Disclose
Schedules, court bundles, tamper-evident audit.
Every stage carries forward who acted, on what authority, and which material supports it, the record a disclosure officer needs is a by-product of the workflow, not a separate reconstruction exercise.
Understand the network. Interrogate the data. Build the case.
Three ways into the same governed record. See the network exactly as it stands, question millions of extracted records in plain language, and carry findings to court-ready exhibits, every step on one audit trail with no shadow copies.
From an individual to the group structure.
Move from a single nominal to leadership, members and associates. Every relationship carries its confidence and its source, and every node opens a full profile.
Question millions of records in plain language.
Search provider returns, OSINT and device data together. Results correlate across sources, each carrying its provenance and place on the timeline.
Carry findings to court-ready exhibits.
Intelligence moves into formal case material without losing provenance. Hashing, exhibit state and disclosure schedules come from one governed record, no shadow copies.
Product views use synthetic case data. No live police or personal data appears anywhere on this site.
Investigation, live operations and recognition, on one platform.
Beyond the case lifecycle, Trace Vantage runs the operational and recognition capabilities a modern force needs, in the office and in the field, under the same governance.
Control Room
Unified live CCTV, ANPR and drone feeds, streamed securely to officers in the field.
Explore Control Room ›Facial recognition and more
Facial recognition in the office and the field, cross-camera tracking, vehicle ID and content provenance. Every search justified and audited.
Explore Recognition ›Where a photo was taken
Multi-pass forensic geolocation of an image, for criminal cases, missing persons and unexplained-wealth asset tagging.
Explore AI Geolocation ›Intelligence and Analysis
Entity, network, financial, cryptocurrency, communications and geospatial analysis on the governed record.
Explore Analysis ›Follow the money
FININT, on-chain analysis, FATF compliance and asset and lifestyle tagging, with provenance intact.
Explore Financial Crime ›Evidence and Disclosure
Vault, provenance and court-ready bundles, generated from the same governed record.
Explore Evidence ›Two things most investigation platforms cannot do.
Ask the phone, on your own hardware.
Interrogate a seized device in plain language, recover deleted messages and calls, and get answers that cite the exact record, running entirely on the force's own hardware. Nothing about the device leaves your boundary.
National doctrine, built in.
The College of Policing intelligence cycle, MIRSAP and the National Intelligence Model enforced as workflow, so a small team runs to national standard with every decision gate on the record.
Controlled by you.
The force environment is the boundary. Trace Intel operates outside it, with no routine path into operational data.
No routine vendor access
Trace Intel does not see, access, extract or monetise operational data, and supports the platform without routine access to case material.
Force-controlled keys & storage
Encryption keys, storage, retention and access policies remain under force identity.
Deployment options
On-premises, private force cloud, or air-gapped where required.
AI at the boundary
Local AI by default; approved-cloud AI only through a human-authorised, policy-controlled route.
Build new capability without creating new governance risk.
AI and low-code tools let forces create applications faster than traditional procurement cycles. Vantage Builder gives those applications a controlled foundation, so extending the platform never means starting a new, unaccountable data island.
Force need
A team identifies a gap current tools don't cover.
Builder workspace
Design the workflow or app on governed data and components.
Test
Validate against realistic cases before anyone relies on it.
Approve
A named authority signs off before release.
Deploy
Released into live use inside the force environment.
Inherit controls
Identity, audit, evidence and policy apply automatically.
Fragmented systems make completeness hard to demonstrate. Trace Vantage is built to answer the question directly.
Every action carries authority, provenance and a human decision forward into one immutable record, so the questions that follow an investigation, operational and legal, have an answer already attached.
Authority
Who authorised the action, and under what basis.
Action
What was done, recorded at the moment it happened.
AI declaration
If AI was used: which model, on what data.
Human decision
What a person confirmed, amended or rejected.
Audit entry
Hash-chained, tamper-evident, immutable.
Disclosure status
Where the material sits in the disclosure record.
Cross-agency intelligence, without centralising raw data.
Trace Mesh lets participating agencies identify relevant overlaps while each retains its source data within its own sovereign environment. Human approval governs every disclosure.
Query the network, not the raw data.
Match against partner holdings without exposing your case; escalate only what a reviewer approves. There is no central pool of raw operational data.
Own the platform. Maintain the advantage.
Trace Vantage is supplied under a perpetual licence and installed within the force environment. The purchased platform remains operational without a mandatory annual subscription.
Perpetual licence
The selected deployed version is licensed for life. No mandatory per-seat rent, and the platform keeps running if optional assurance lapses.
Implementation
A one-time project: installation, configuration, integration and initial enablement for your force.
Optional assurance
Security updates, maintained connectors, jurisdiction updates, AI-governance updates, support and access to new releases.
Pricing and edition scope depend on force size, deployment model and selected capabilities.
Bring your investigation environment under force control.
See Trace Vantage against your own operating context, deployment, sovereignty, governance and the investigation lifecycle.
