Major crime, from the first hours to the courtroom.
A homicide or major incident demands fast-time intelligence and a well-evidenced record at the same time. Trace Vantage is designed to support the SIO and the team in building a single multi-source timeline, ingesting digital forensics and preparing disclosure at scale, all under command oversight.
Speed and scrutiny, pulling in opposite directions.
In the golden hours the team must move quickly on partial information. Months later the same material must survive disclosure and cross-examination. Tools that help with one often work against the other, and the SIO carries the risk of both.
Volume under time pressure
Devices, CCTV, communications and statements arrive faster than a manual process can organise them.
One version of events
Multiple strands need reconciling into a single timeline the whole team can trust and work from.
Command accountability
The SIO must see what is known, what is assumed and what has been decided, with a record that holds later.
One timeline, built as the investigation moves.
The platform links fast-time intelligence to the evidential record from the outset, so the account built in the first hours is the same account that carries to disclosure.
Ingest
Digital-forensic extracts, provider returns and structured data parsed into the case. Platform ›
Build the timeline
Multi-source events resolve into one timeline, questioned in plain language. Analysis ›
Fast-time intelligence
Entity, comms and geospatial analysis surface leads while they still matter.
Command oversight
Actions, readiness and decisions visible to the SIO in the war room. Investigations ›
Disclose at scale
Schedules and court bundles generated from the same governed record.
Command of the case, in one view.
A record built for the courtroom, not just the incident room.
Sovereign by default
Devices, media and statements stay within the force environment, on-premises or air-gapped where required.
Chain of custody
Ingestion, promotion and export are recorded so the account of the evidence is itself evidenced.
Human-authorised AI
Where AI supports triage of high-volume material, its use is recorded and reviewable. Governed AI ›
Disclosure carried through
Schedules and bundles are built from the governed record, subject to force policy and jurisdiction.
Command sees the same record the court will.
Decisions, actions and the evidential picture sit in one place, with tamper-evident audit. The SIO can direct the investigation and stand behind the record it produces.
What good looks like.
Fast without fragile
Designed to support fast-time work whose output remains a traceable, well-sourced part of the evidential record.
One shared account
A single multi-source timeline the whole team works from, rather than several partial versions.
Disclosure at scale
High-volume disclosure prepared from the governed record, subject to force policy and jurisdiction.
