WHAT IS LACE
Court-ready reports are just a few mouse clicks away
LACE is designed specifically to enable an investigator to review all visual content (images & videos) of a confiscated computer quickly, efficiently, and with minimal stress. The majority of the process is fully automated requiring only nominal input from the user such that investigators can do a complete and thorough analysis, rapidly create reports for court prosecution, and then immediately move on to the next case. LACE uses a superbly integrated solution to quickly process the overwhelming load of image and video evidence routinely associated with child exploitation cases. LACE also provides advanced tools to help in the identification of victims, suspects, witnesses, crime scenes, and related cases. This includes the capability to automatically categorize images and videos, detect, extract, and match faces. After case processing is completed, court-ready reports are just a few mouse clicks away. LACE additionally offers a secure means for cross jurisdiction collaboration between police services worldwide.
