Peregrine Technologies, a startup founded by former Palantir executives, is actively helping law enforcement agencies fight crime with innovative software. The company provides local police with quick access to video surveillance and other data, while implementing safeguards to minimize the risks of abuse.
Peregrine Technologies develops software for local police that allows quick access to surveillance footage, court documents, police reports and other data. The system is extremely easy to use – just enter a name, address or other key parameter in the web application, and the program will quickly analyze all available data and provide relevant results. This greatly simplifies the work of investigators, as the system combines information from various sources in one interface accessible through a browser.
One of the key cases where the program played a significant role was a trial in San Francisco, where Peregrine helped locate murder suspects, which resulted in their convictions.
The company was founded by Nick Noon and Ben Rudolph in 2021 after 18 months of working closely with the San Pablo Police Department. Nunn, who previously worked at Palantir and helped the US military identify ISIS members, decided to adapt the technology for local law enforcement. The main goal is to combine disparate data channels into a single, easy-to-use interface.
Peregrine has grown into a major player in the law enforcement technology market, securing 53 contracts in the US. While the technology raises concerns about privacy violations among human rights activists, the company is actively working on built-in protections. Peregrine is committed to helping government agencies address not only crime, but also the social problems that lead to crime.
