The phone in a subject's pocket is the most honest witness in the case — emitting where it's been, not just where it is. We read three years of that record, at every scale from a multi-state trail to a single location.
We draw on more than 18 billion location signals collected worldwide over the past three years — the depth that lets us analyze the signal data on your case across time, not just in the moment. Every person carrying a phone emits that class of signal: GPS coordinates and advertising-network data transmitted through the apps they've authorized. It's what makes a modern investigation solvable, and it resolves at every scale the case demands.
Continental — multi-state movement footprints with co-travel and inter-jurisdictional connections surfaced as lines between anchor sites. Neighborhood — aggregate device counts within an analysis window, drillable to device IDs, time-of-presence, and residential anchors. Property — every signal a device emitted inside a defined parcel, collapsing pattern of life onto a single residence.
Three-year historical depth means we can go back in time as readily as we work the present — geofencing a scene that occurred months ago and surfacing every device that was there.
Reconstruct a subject's routine, anchors, and associations across the analysis window.
Surface every device present within a defined area and time window — forward or historical.
Identify devices moving together, revealing relationships and operating networks.
Resolve a device to its primary residence, including anchors absent from records.
Surface likely locations and time windows from established movement patterns.
Timestamped signal records, device identifiers, and the IP address of the device itself.
Names redacted, methodology preserved.
Geofence resolution during a homicide's offense window surfaced one device near the body, traced to its overnight residence with a corresponding IP — surfacing identity and location together.
Two devices surfaced at a burglary scene were operating under active VPN cover — but a VPN masks network identity, not the location signals apps emit from the device's actual GPS. Both subjects were located.
The location data originates from advertising-network identifiers and GPS signals that users authorized their apps to transmit. It flows through the lawful commercial data-broker chain — not pulled from devices, not extracted from carriers, not obtained through compulsion. We do not accept or process names, phone numbers, or other personal identifiers as inputs; engagements are anchored on geography, device patterns, and time.
Yes — done the way we do it. The data comes from advertising identifiers and GPS signals that users authorized their apps to transmit, obtained through the lawful commercial data chain — not pulled from a phone, a carrier, or by compulsion. We anchor engagements on geography, devices, and time rather than on names or personal identifiers, which keeps the work on the right side of the line. For the case law and the detail, see our note for attorneys.
Accurate enough to place a device at a parcel and a time window, and to resolve a primary residence from overnight patterns — but it is signal data, not a GPS ankle monitor. We report location at the confidence the data supports and never tighter: a device is placed at a location and time, with the precision stated honestly rather than overstated.
The findings are built to be examined. Every conclusion ties back to the underlying signal record — timestamped coordinates, device identifiers, and the attributable IP — so each claim can be traced to its source, and nothing is asserted beyond what the data shows. When a matter reaches court, the analysis can be presented and defended by a qualified expert.
Bring us the scene, the anchor, or the timeframe. We'll tell you what the signal record holds.
