We hope you're enjoying the excitement of the World Cup as much as we are! Here's what we've been building in between sneaking away to watch games.

Announcing our new public defense grant program 🎉 The Longeye Public Defense Grant Program is now open. Eligible public defender offices, indigent-defense nonprofits, exoneration organizations, and the investigators who work with them can apply for a $50,000 grant covering a full year of Longeye.

Video GPS trails for bodycam footage

All Axon bodycam videos have GPS paths attached, so whether you import directly through our Axon integration or drag and drop a file, you can see this extra location layer. If you took several bodycam videos at a scene, or had several officers respond, the map view plots all of those paths together so you can explore how the response unfolded. Very cool, we think.

The Videos page can show which recordings have location data and draw the path taken on a map. Extra cool: when you play a video with the Location tab open, you can watch the movement progress across the map at the same time as the footage.

Chat with all images

The Images page now has a dedicated Chat rail for asking questions across photo evidence in a case. Ask “which images might contain narcotics packaging?” or “show me outdoor images with people,” and Chat can use the same visual classifications that power the image filters, not just caption text.

Images are also now auto-classified. Longeye identifies scene type, people present, and possible weapons, drugs, currency, or identity documents, then turns those labels into filter facets so cases with hundreds of photos can be narrowed in a few clicks. Open an image to see the visual cues behind its classification, and image search results are returned more intuitively now by highlighting the matching part of the search result in the image caption.

PDF bookmarks can now be applied to specific pages and specific parts of that page. Cross-file search also lands on the exact matching page instead of dropping you on page 1.

The Files tab now searches inside evidence, not just file names. Transcripts, PDF text, image captions, OCR, and message thread content all feed the results. Type a name, phone number, location, or keyword, and Longeye finds it wherever it appears across the case.

Integrations and evidence handling

We’re working on integrating directly with Securus. If your jail calls come from this system, let us know and we’ll happily work on setting this up for you to bring into Longeye automatically.

Flock ALPR exports and police database search logs now trigger automatic Chat analysis on upload, surfacing patterns like out-of-state queries, federal agency lookups, and per-officer query volumes.

Cellebrite UFDR exports now extract more reliably after a series of fixes to full-device report archives.

Google data exports, including Google Photos LERS, Google Calendar and account exports, and Android Backup files, now capture records that were previously dropped by a parser error, including GPS coordinates, device inventories, upload IP addresses, and calendar entries.

Malware-flagged files now show a quarantine badge instead of producing a silent failed download. Quarantined files cannot be downloaded or exported. And large uploads that take more than 30 minutes now complete because active uploads renew the session instead of getting cut off by the CJIS idle timeout.

A few more things

That’s all for now

We’re busy cooking up some other great stuff for you, including improvements to report writing, faster and higher-quality Chat experiences, and more. We’re calling a France vs. Argentina rematch this year, and after how 2022 ended, we’re all in on Mbappe and France to settle the score. Allez les Bleus.
