Closure

We're looking for FDEs like Tina Wu who can both drive AND ride-along (... and if that police joke doesn't make sense, it may not be a fit ... )

Fun fact: Our corporate attorney saw what we were up to and had to join the fun. (He worked at the DAs office previously so knew how valuable Closure would be to police & prosecutions) Come work with one-of-a-kind talent like Alex Carter Gilad Levy and the growing Closure team on high impact applications of AI for public safety

A reality of working with law enforcement is that most of our work will never be publicly known. Last week was different. Journalist Scott Thomas Anderson carefully highlighted the Closure team's work supporting Del Norte County & Placer County DAs. Not a placed ad or article, but real, in-person journalism: - In a rural agency, Del Norte County, Chief Investigator A.C. Field and his team used Closure to identify a defendant attempting to destroy evidence. Closure helped Chief Field identify the missing evidence, identify the phone’s password, and find the smoking gun. - In Placer County, Closure has been used across multiple high-profile cases (and many small ones), by prosecutors, crime analysts, and investigators to organize and close cases including the Dan Serafini homicides. This goes beyond a single source of evidence -- it's about having a trusted, verifiable partner supporting your work everyday. If you're a prosecutor, police, sheriff, or state agency looking to safely leverage AI to accelerate justice, we're here to help. If you're an engineer or generalist looking to have a massive impact at the frontier of responsible AI and government, we're hiring!

Detectives like Anchorage Police Department's Steve Czajkowski have been fighting massive volumes of evidence in the Special Victims Unit for years. Closure is proud to power the incredible officers of the SVU, who operate in some of the country's harshest conditions--saving time, money, and helping protect victims. (Thanks to the Shots Fired podcast for the feature!)

Thanks to MarketWatch for the highlight this week!! "Forward Deploying" may have become a hot term recently, but it's how our founders have operated for the last 10 years. We go where our users take us--from San Mateo and Florida to New Jersey and NYC. Closure is hiring many more FDEs to work hand-in-hand with our awesome law enforcement partners. Come join us!

Lots of magic at the Garden State Cold Case Conference last week!! Truly netflix-worthy work from cold case detectives across Federal, State, and Local agencies. The emphasis on human-centric detective work, in an era of AI and advanced forensic genealogy, was deeply inspiring. We are grateful to support these heroes in law enforcement. More to come.

Great to join our partner, District Attorney Dan Dow, on the Breaking Battlegrounds podcast & radio show!! We discussed Cold Cases, the 4th amendment, the Guthrie case, where AI can or cannot help, and Closure's important work with SLO Co. More to come.

Thanks for the invite to Reno, California Robbery Investigators Association!! We loved exploring new strategies to combat robbery series with Closure users and departments from across the country. Especially impressed by the presentations from Placer County’s DA Morgan Gire, San Francisco District Attorney's Office, and San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), among other inspiring case studies. Thanks to the detectives and DAs who doggedly pursue these cases even when there’s little or no evidence.

Most public safety agencies do not have the bandwidth to take on cold cases. Passionate part-timers and retired detectives often come in off the benches to carry these cases forward. When there is bandwidth, the evidence overload can be overwhelming. Thousands of files, 40-year old photos, low-quality audio clips, duplicative or contradictory reports, and lots of “noise.” Cold cases are not for the faint of heart. We are grateful for Anchorage Police Department, our DA partners, and other agencies who are bravely chipping away at at these backlogs. Thanks to Axios for highlighting this often overlooked issue in law enforcement.

As Closure marks its one-year anniversary of supporting police, prosecutors, and federal law enforcement, we are grateful to publicly announce our partnership with the incredible team at the San Luis Obispo County DA! From our first meeting, DA Dan Dow and Chief Terry O'Farrell saw the promise of powering their team with law enforcement-specific intelligence. Efficiency, security, and scalability were top of mind as we shaped what the partnership could look like. We've been amazed at what the SLOCo DA team has accomplished in the office and the court room already. Thrilled to continue supporting their critical mission.
