Knowledge Computing
Corporation today announced that the company is a finalist for the Arizona
Governor's Innovator of the Year Award for its critically acclaimed crime
fighting solution, COPLINK®. The company was nominated by its lead investor,
Arizona-based Diamond Ventures, in the category for Arizona companies with under
$50 million in annual revenue. The awards program is acknowledged as the premier
recognition of statewide technology leadership in innovation.
"It is a tremendous honor for our company to be among such a distinguished group
of finalists and we are very proud of our employees for their dedicated teamwork
in driving year after year exponential growth and profitability," said Bob
Griffin, CEO of Knowledge Computing Corporation. "Arizona's talent, resources
and commitment to cultivating innovation continues to help Knowledge Computing
Corporation expand its leadership position at the local, tribal, state and
federal level for law enforcement and homeland security solutions."
Knowledge Computing Corporation's COPLINK provides unparalleled analysis and
decision support for rapidly identifying criminal suspects, relationships and
patterns that can help solve and prevent crime. The solution is also promising
for use in homeland security applications to thwart terrorism.
COPLINK works by allowing vast quantities of structured and seemingly unrelated
data, currently housed in various incompatible databases, to be securely
organized, consolidated and rapidly analyzed over a highly secure intranet-based
platform. One search using known or partial facts from an ongoing investigation
can produce qualified leads in seconds - a process that prior to COPLINK wasn't
possible or often took days or weeks. Through sophisticated analytics, COPLINK
builds 'institutional memory,' reduces knowledge gaps and prevents criminals
from falling through the cracks.
COPLINK first catapulted into the national spotlight for its proof of concept
role following the Montgomery County, MD sniper investigation. The solution is
now deployed in over 100 jurisdictions nationwide from Boston to San Diego to
support police officers in fighting crime and improving community safety.
