Vigilant Acquires GunOps Invest Tool for Law Enforcement (Multi-Video)

GUNOPS A highly secure, cloud-based platform to manage all gun crime tracking data in any location and from any device.

Vigilant Solutions, a global machine vision and data analytics company, and Platinum Award Winner in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, to further its mission to assist law enforcement in keeping communities safe today has acquired the assets of ShotCaller Global Inc., the developer of GunOps™ and DNAOps™ investigative solutions for law enforcement.

The acquisition will enable Vigilant Solutions to provide the law enforcement community with firearm forensic mapping and DNA crime mapping technology to complement its existing suite of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, which currently include automated license plate reader (ALPR) data, facial recognition technology (FaceSearch) and ballistics analysis solutions (BallisticSearch).

GunOps and DNAOps are both web-based interactive investigation tools.

GunOps allows law enforcement investigators and analysts to enter, visualize and access information about firearm-related crimes, forensic test results and armed criminals.

GunOps enables a visual and interactive way to monitor recovered firearm evidence as it is booked into the police department.

The idea for GunOps™ was born out of necessity through a partnership between two colleagues, Rocky Edwards, a Forensic Firearm Examiner and Jon Centanni, a Sergeant and Gang Unit Supervisor working at that time at the Santa Ana Police Department in Orange County, California.

This allows Crime Lab Technicians to filter and view firearm-related evidence according to geographical areas, which then enables the operator to more quickly zero in on the targets of greatest opportunity to success.

This is accomplished by connecting many pieces of information in order to link crimes, guns and suspects in a timelier manner so as to be of most value to investigators.

The web application manages a large volume of information on firearms crimes and is completely searchable making GunOps the ultimate time saver.

Quickly uncover associations between crimes with similar time period, location and case characteristics. Search from any device and organizes data logically so that it can be used to generate actionable information of tactical and strategic crime-solving value.
