Real-Time Support for Gang Units, Task Forces, and Organized Crime Investigations — Without Mass Surveillance

Organized Crime is Evolving — So Should Investigations

From neighborhood crews to transnational criminal organizations, gang activity is one of the most dynamic and dangerous public safety challenges law enforcement faces today.

Biometrica helps gang units and task forces detect, compare, analyze, and share intelligence — while respecting community trust and privacy.

Whether it’s organized street gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs), prison gangs, transnational crime groups, or juvenile gang activity, Biometrica’s tools provide fast, privacy-first, real-time investigative support — without mass surveillance or biometric data storage.

Detect. Compare. Analyze. Inform.

Your Challenge

  • Unknown suspects, false IDs, cross-jurisdictional cases

  • Real-time alerts on gang members entering a facility or crossing jurisdictions

  • Identify absconders or parole/probation violators

  • Nicknames, aliases, and street names complicate searches

  • Risk of tipping off suspects

  • Limited resources

  • Need for secure, private information sharing

  • Instant image comparison against UMbRA’s 41M+ records + QAPLA and via RTIS alerts

  • Receive human-verified alerts in under 1 minute

  • Match against real-time probation, parole, and warrant data

  • Text-search capabilities across known monikers, AKAs, and alias fields

  • Passive detection without requiring contact or interaction

  • Acts as a force multiplier, saving investigators valuable time and improving operational intelligence

  • Fully auditable, credentialed-only, law enforcement-restricted access with no public exposure

How Biometrica Supports Gang Investigations

Including neighborhood-based, street-level, or regional groups.

Infiltration of events, facilities, and cross-state tracking.

Including cartels and international gangs exploiting jurisdictional boundaries.

Identification and location without violating juvenile protections.

RTIS and UMbRA for parole/probation enforcement, contraband investigations, and facility entry-point screening.

Built-In Guardrails

Biometrica’s systems are governed by technical and ethical guardrails, including:

  • No mass surveillance
  • No biometric access, transmission, or storage
  • No access to UMbRA by the public or commercial entities.
  • All access restricted to trained, credentialed law enforcement users.
  • Relevance-based, human-reviewed alerts — no automated enforcement decisions.
  • Every access and alert fully logged for legal integrity.
  • No full-body imaging
  • Human-in-the-loop decision-making
  • Immutable audit trails
  • Relevance filters, customized by permissible use, client need and context.

We don’t just comply —
we intentionally limit ourselves to safeguard civil liberties.

RTIS Workflow for Gang Units

RTIS sensors detect faces passively (no video recorded), transmit cropped images securely for comparison.

Images run against the UMbRA database — the largest 100% law enforcement-sourced, privacy-compliant, real-time dataset of its kind.

Biometrica’s Rapid Alert Center (24/7/365) conducts human analysis to filter out false positives and determine relevance.

Relevant, human-verified alerts are issued within 30–60 seconds to appropriate gang investigators.

Gangs Today: A Complex and Evolving Threat

  • There are an estimated 33,000 gangs operating in the U.S. alone.
  • Transnational gangs exploit borders and jurisdictional gaps.
  • Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) have chapters across the U.S. and internationally.
  • Youth gangs continue to destabilize communities, often hidden beneath other criminal activity.
  • Technology-enabled crimes by gangs (identity theft, credit card fraud, human trafficking) make fast, real-time intelligence essential.

Biometrica provides gang units with tools to meet this evolving threat — ethically, lawfully, and effectively.
