COPLINK is a software application suite that has been designed from the ground up and clearly with ease of use in mind with its intuitive web interface, so that any authorised user can enter even just strands of information about a crime or suspect, then let COPLINK use its powerful artificial intelligence program with search engine like features to collate the results.  Providing police officers with a clear summary of suspect identities from a whole array of links contained within numerous data sources, no matter how limited or bitty the known information is.   

This process can literally save police officers and detectives many days and weeks of exhaustive police work, and all this can be performed in just a matter of minutes so allowing officers to improve crime detection, solve crimes much faster and ultimately free up personnel resources, saving police forces both time and money.

It is important to note that COPLINK has been designed with the direct input of many experienced police officers, who understand how both officers and detectives work and the processes involved with detailed police investigations. That is why COPLINK is now fully operational with several major US police departments, including Boston, Phoenix, Redmond, Huntsville and Tucson. COPLINK is due to enter service with several other US police forces including Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and even the CIA are looking at how to utilise this knowledge management application for combating criminal activities in the United States.

COPLINK is new to the United Kingdom, though is tried and tested in the field of police work with leading American police departments. The creators of COPLINK, Knowledge Computing Corporation are working closely with Orbitron Technologies (the systems integrator and authorised supplier of COPLINK for the United Kingdom) to customise the program for UK police forces and security agencies.

"In the Washington DC sniper case, COPLINK connected a specific car to the area of two shootings, turning the investigation upside down. Police up and down the east coast were looking for two white males in a box truck, but COPLINK suggested looking for a Chevrolet Caprice with two black males registered to a male in New Jersey." (Although COPLINK was brought in too late for this investigation, it quickly and correctly identified the two apprehended suspects once the basic data parameters were entered)

The benefits of COPLINK

COPLINK uses the very latest neural computer technologies to help speed up the crime detection process and achieve accurate results, so assisting police officers at all levels and in all departments in the process of solving gun crime, gang violence, organised crime, drugs trafficking, assault, burglary, murder, car theft, armed robbery, child abduction, sexual assault, racial abuse, fraud and forgery, arson and terrorism.   

The more data sources that are made available to COPLINK, then the better the results. Were sometimes with people too much information can simply lead to an information overload and a lack of clarity, for COPLINK this is not a problem, as the application uses a sophisticated processing capability to quickly analyse and work on common links and associations between a whole range of existing data sources to help identify suspects, quickly. Conversely, no matter how vague or little information is known to police officers, then put COPLINK to work and using just a few selected keys of criteria, the results can be quite astounding. 

Police officers in the US who have used COPLINK often comment that it is like having a patrol officer or detective with 30 years experience immediately online.  COPLINK behaves like someone who knows the local area very well.  Through existing data sources, COPLINK knows the names, addresses and aliases of all known criminals, it knows what they drive, how they look, it knows their records and history, knows their associates, habits and preferences and much more besides. 

Such detailed local knowledge is often only built up by police officers with many years of experience, who know and understand their local community and the people who live there.  Much of that information is spread across numerous data sources through years of computer records and reports.  Now that vast knowledgebase can be made available to all authorised police officers with the use of COPLINK.

Because many crimes are committed by repeat offenders then there is a good chance the clues to the suspect are already in the system somewhere, from burglary, theft, robbery to violent and gun crime, drugs, assault and even murder, COPLINK can help analyse and link the clues at lightning speed and provide the results of suspects within a few seconds or minutes.    

COPLINK is as much a valuable and powerful tool for beat and patrol officers, as it is for detectives and specialists departments like gun crime, drugs, anti-terrorism and special branch. As COPLINK is not just designed for detectives to use, it allows all police officers to better utilise the data and information knowledge on criminals and their activities, so aiding and improving crime detection force wide. 

"COPLINK is somewhat like a cyber Sherlock Holmes, taking millions of pieces of seemingly random information and finding connections between things like a car number plate, a weapon, a nickname or even a tattoo."
