World-Class Investigative Tools Available on a “ Free-Trial Basis ” to NJ Police Agencies Through NJSACOP Strategic Partnership
Throughout our 112-year ( and counting ) history , the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police has served our membership and the policing profession in New Jersey by seeking out the most advanced tools and techniques available in the field and bringing them to our state . We are proud to continue that tradition through a newly announced agreement with Chorus Intelligence to make their outstanding capabilities available to New Jersey ’ s law enforcement agencies .
Chorus Intelligence is a UK founded company , who ’ s software is in use with over 80 % of UK Police Forces . On the back of that success Chorus has recently expanded its operations into the United States . The US team is based out of Virginia Beach , where its staff provide , implement , and support its unique investigative software known as the Chorus Intelligence Suite ( CIS ).
The software is now being used by a growing number of law enforcement agencies across the US – and is now available to New Jersey ’ s police departments .
Hosted in AWS Government Cloud , the CIS is a digital investigation platform , that helps agencies combat serious issues that exist within policing currently such as :
��
Violent crime
��
Domestic crime
��
Mass gatherings and civil unrest
��
Gun crime and more .

The CIS provides the following capabilities :
�� Combine and connect all digital data sources and store in one single and secure location , allowing investigators to spot connections and share with colleagues , partners and external agencies ( if needed );
�� Undertake federated open-source searches across over 180 social media platforms from one user interface ;
�� Uncover hidden intelligence already held by agencies – the CIS allows for the upload and indexing of unstructured data such as documents and excel spreadsheets – and making data contained within them searchable ;
�� Cleanse , combine and connect analytical data – covering call data records , Handset extractions , LPR records and more to identify the who , what , where and when of criminal activity .
The combined power of all this capability is now immediately available to New Jersey law enforcement agencies on a free trial basis through the relationship with NJSACOP .
