Earlier this year, officers were dispatched to a location in reference to a reported assault. Upon arrival, they made contact with the victim, who appeared visibly disoriented and exhibited signs of being under the influence of an unknown substance. The victim’s speech was slurred, their movements were unsteady, and they had difficulty maintaining focus during questioning. Due to the victim’s apparent impairment, the only information they were able to provide was a first name and familial relationship. No other details regarding the assault were shared.
Based on the limited details provided, one of the responding officers initiated a search through ForceMetrics Velocity™ to identify individuals with the name provided by the victim who had a known familial connection. The officer was able to locate a possible match and subsequently verified the identity of the offender through DMV records.
At this time, the investigation remains active. Additional statements are being obtained, and all relevant information is being forwarded to the appropriate authorities for review. Charges are pending based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation and the victim’s further cooperation.
Impact
ForceMetrics played a key role in advancing the investigation when limited information was available. With the victim unable to provide clear details, the responding officer used Velocity™ to efficiently search for potential matches using only a name and familial relationship. The platform’s integrated data allowed the officer to locate and confirm the offender’s identity through DMV records, ensuring the investigation continued without delay.
