Geospatial Intelligence That Investigators Actually Use
Transform Location Data Into Actionable Intelligence
Location data locked in disconnected systems, complex interfaces that only GIS specialists can navigate, and evidence questions that arise at the worst possible moments. Argus delivers geospatial intelligence that works the way investigators think, intuitive, integrated, and court-ready from the first click.
The Challenges You Face Every Day
Every investigator knows the scenario: critical location data exists somewhere in your systems, but accessing it requires logging into multiple platforms, waiting for a GIS analyst's availability, or manually correlating timestamps across disconnected databases.
Fragmented Data Sources
Location intelligence arrives from diverse sources in diverse formats. Cell site location information. GPS coordinates from mobile forensics. Address records from RMS queries. Geotagged social media. License plate reader timestamps. Each system operates in isolation.
Complexity Barriers
Powerful geospatial analysis shouldn't require GIS certification. Yet traditional tools demand specialized training, creating bottlenecks where patrol officers and general investigators are locked out from accessing geospatial intelligence.
Evidence Integrity Questions
Can you demonstrate unbroken chain of custody for that GPS track? Will your location evidence withstand a Daubert challenge? When defense counsel asks how you verified coordinate accuracy, do you have documentation that satisfies the court?
By the time you piece together the geographic picture, the operational window has narrowed, or closed entirely.
Meanwhile, questions about evidence integrity loom over every case. These aren't hypothetical concerns. Across the country, cases have been compromised by location data that couldn't meet evidentiary standards, not because the underlying intelligence was wrong, but because systems weren't designed with courtroom requirements in mind.
You deserve better tools. Your investigations deserve better outcomes.
Geospatial Intelligence Designed for How You Actually Work
Powerful capabilities delivered through interfaces that investigators actually use
Unified Visualization
Every location data point across your investigations, cell records, GPS tracks, surveillance observations, license plate reader hits, evidence collection sites, rendered on a single, high-performance map. No more switching between systems. No more manual correlation. No more wondering what you might be missing.
- MapLibre GL-powered interface handles thousands of data points at 60 frames per second
- Automatic clustering of dense datasets while preserving detail you need
- Toggle between street maps, satellite imagery, and specialized overlays with a click
- Zoom from citywide patterns to individual address precision without performance degradation
Pattern of Life Analysis
Understanding where a subject has been tells part of the story. Understanding their patterns reveals the rest. Argus analyzes movement data over time to surface routines, frequent locations, typical routes, and behavioral anomalies that inform investigative strategy.
- Heat mapping identifies geographic concentrations that manual review might miss
- Temporal filters reveal when patterns occur, not just where
- Trajectory visualization shows the path between points, exposing travel behaviors
- Automated detection of deviations from established patterns
Interactive Geofencing
Define virtual perimeters around sensitive locations with intuitive drawing tools, click to set polygon points, drag to define circular boundaries, adjust with precision when needed. When subjects under investigation enter or exit defined zones, you'll know immediately.
- Every boundary stored with full metadata and linked to relevant investigations
- Documentation for evidentiary purposes automatically generated
- Real-time alerting when subjects cross defined boundaries
- Historical analysis of zone entries and exits over time
Evidence-Grade Exports
This is where Argus fundamentally differs from traditional mapping tools. Every export includes complete chain of custody documentation: unique identifiers, timestamps, case references, analyst attribution, and SHA-256 hash verification.
- Professional cartographic elements, legend, scale bar, north arrow, case header, generated automatically
- Export to multiple formats (PNG at presentation, print, and courtroom resolutions; PDF-ready compositions)
- Structured JSON for technical analysis with complete metadata
- Evidence packages that answer questions prosecutors and defense counsel will ask

Pattern Recognition That Reveals What Manual Review Misses
Advanced visualizations powered by D3.js to identify temporal and geographic patterns in your investigation data
Temporal Heat Map
Identify when incidents occur with hour-by-hour, day-by-day visualization. Discover that 80% of activity happens in specific time windows, informing targeted deployment strategies.
30-Day Activity Timeline
Track incident frequency over time to identify trends, spikes, and patterns that inform investigative priorities and resource allocation.
How Investigators Use Argus Geospatial Intelligence
Real-world scenarios demonstrating how location intelligence accelerates investigations
Serial Crime Pattern Detection
Investigating a series of commercial burglaries across the jurisdiction
Challenge
15 commercial burglaries over 6 weeks. Manual plotting on a wall map suggested geographic proximity but couldn't reveal temporal patterns or identify the highest-probability next target.
Argus Solution
Argus geospatial clustering immediately revealed that 12 of 15 incidents occurred within a 2.3-mile radius. Temporal heat mapping showed 87% of incidents happened between 2-4 AM on weekdays. Pattern analysis identified three businesses within the hotspot matching victim profile that hadn't yet been targeted.
Outcome
Surveillance deployed at predicted locations. Subject apprehended during attempted burglary at one of the three identified high-risk targets. Case cleared within 48 hours of Argus analysis.
Surveillance Planning
Establishing surveillance on a subject with suspected narcotics distribution activity
Challenge
Limited investigative resources. Need to maximize probability of productive surveillance while minimizing hours spent in mobile follow operations.
Argus Solution
Argus pattern of life analysis processed 45 days of cell site location data, GPS tracks from known associate vehicles, and license plate reader hits. Revealed subject visited three specific locations with 94% consistency on Tuesday/Thursday afternoons between 2-5 PM.
Outcome
Fixed surveillance positioned at identified locations rather than resource-intensive mobile follow. Documented six controlled substance transactions over three weeks. Sufficient probable cause developed for search warrant without burning hundreds of surveillance hours.
Geographic Profiling
Identifying potential suspects when traditional leads have been exhausted
Challenge
Series of residential burglaries. No witnesses. No forensic evidence. Traditional investigative methods yielding no viable suspects.
Argus Solution
Argus geofencing drew 1-mile radius around each crime scene. Cross-referenced with known offender addresses, probation/parole supervision locations, and prior arrest addresses. Identified 23 individuals with addresses or frequent locations within defined geography. Pattern analysis prioritized 4 subjects based on criminal history and geographic proximity to multiple scenes.
Outcome
Background investigation of prioritized subjects revealed one with recent parole release, prior burglary convictions, and residence .3 miles from crime cluster centroid. Surveillance yielded observations consistent with stolen property fencing. Search warrant execution recovered evidence linking subject to 8 of 11 burglaries.
Tactical Operation Planning
Planning coordinated multi-location warrant execution
Challenge
Organized retail theft operation with 7 confirmed locations requiring simultaneous service of search warrants. Need to visualize approach routes, identify vantage points, understand sight lines, and coordinate team positioning across all locations.
Argus Solution
Argus 3D terrain visualization for each location. Offline map packages downloaded for all 7 sites enabling field access without cellular dependency. Route planning identified optimal approach paths avoiding street-facing windows. Satellite overlay revealed rear access points not visible from street view.
Outcome
All 7 locations secured simultaneously with no officer safety incidents. Complete tactical surprise maintained. Offline capability enabled real-time map access during execution despite operation in area with limited cellular coverage.
