Find Hidden Identities and Relationships to Detect Potential Threats to Public Safety

To conduct comprehensive background checks successfully, criminal justice and law enforcement systems require the ability to query and locate criminal records using many different identity attributes. These attributes can include name, date of birth, telephone number, address or other location, various identification numbers, and other supporting data, such as tattoos, marks, and warnings. In addition, fast and reliable identity searches and accurate matching and ranking of their results must be possible regardless of the mix or amount of attribute data.

But these efforts are often undermined by limitations in IT infrastructures. Organizations store information about groups, individuals, or events across multiple, disparate, and compartmentalized systems. The lack of integration across government agencies makes it difficult to correlate data and identify potential relationships. As a result, threat detection is stymied and public safety remains at risk.
