Who Are We?
Chorus Intelligence, ‘Chorus’, is an award-winning supplier of data cleansing, analysis, search, enrichment and evidential reporting software for law enforcement, government agencies, financial and corporate institutions across the globe.
Our Story
Chorus was founded in 2011 to automate the arduous manual task of cleansing and analysing investigative data. Most police forces, government agencies, all counter terrorism units, and many North American agencies now use our industry-leading software, saving a massive 97% of their time.
Fast forward 10 years and Chorus recognised that many areas of policing are still in decline, and which would benefit from the intervention of technology:
1. Crime rates are high, detection rates are low
2. Data is difficult to access, interrogate, and share
3. Online crime is the most prevalent
4. Resourcing issues mean forces cannot meet demand
5. Funding issues require forces to do more with less
6. Prosecution processes are taking longer due to demand for more evidence
The Chorus Intelligence Suite (CIS) was developed to address these challenges and offers a future-proof approach to tackling them.
Why Chorus?
Our vision is to make the world a safer place.
Our mission is to build the best investigation software in the world.
Our ethos to achieve this is simple. We strive for excellence by taking a customer-driven, partnership approach to software development. We pride ourselves on our team of experienced experts.
