Quality Assurance Engineer

Who We Are

Dedicated to making a difference in our communities, our Vision is to elevate law enforcement in the United States with a preventative-based early intervention system using data science and machine learning — to analyze police officer performance data in order to identify potentially problematic behavior. In partnership with the University of Chicago, we’ve developed the world’s largest multi-jurisdictional officer performance database, and the ONLY research-driven, evidence-based early intervention system available in policing today.

We’re also the ONLY provider of a fully integrated, cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that simplifies essential policing workflows. This platform is designed to be a one-stop shop for all operational needs, driving extensive efficiency gains and providing best-in-class advanced analytics and insights.

We are an all-in-one solution that is advancing police force management through state-of-the-art technology and market-leading data and analytics.
