Siren and Senzing Partner to Transform Law Enforcement Investigations with Entity Resolution at Scale

October 2024 — Siren (Galway, Ireland), the all-in-one investigation company, on a mission to keep people, assets and networks safe, and Senzing (Las Vegas, United States), the pioneer in real-time entity resolution AI technology, are excited to announce a strategic partnership designed to transform law enforcement investigations. This collaboration integrates advanced entity resolution capabilities from Senzing into Siren’s AI-powered and automated investigative platform, enabling law enforcement agencies to identify hidden entities, connect disparate data sources, and make faster, more accurate decisions in their pursuit of illicit activities.

Law enforcement agencies are increasingly challenged by the need to manage and interpret vast amounts of data, often stored in fragmented systems. The partnership between Siren and Senzing directly addresses these challenges by combining the strengths of both companies. Siren’s robust AI and automation tools, when paired with precise entity resolution technology, offer law enforcement a powerful solution to overcome the complexities of modern investigations.

Solving Critical Law Enforcement Challenges

The integration of the Senzing AI for entity resolution into Siren’s platform represents a significant advancement in law enforcement analytics. 

1. Eliminating Duplicate Records: Law enforcement databases often contain duplicate records under different aliases or identifiers. Entity resolution ensures that these duplicates are identified and consolidated, providing a clear and unified view of individuals or entities involved in investigations.
2. Connecting Disparate Data Sources: Criminals frequently operate across jurisdictions and use multiple identities. By linking related data from various systems, the combined solution allows law enforcement to gain a comprehensive view of a suspect’s activities, associations, and history, which is critical for tracking criminal networks and identifying patterns.
3. Enhancing Investigative Accuracy: By accurately resolving entities, law enforcement agencies can better analyze connections between suspects, victims, witnesses, and locations. This leads to higher-quality intelligence and more informed decisions, crucial in solving complex cases. 
4. Preventing Identity Confusion: Entity resolution reduces the risk of misidentification, ensuring that law enforcement agencies target the correct individuals, even when data is incomplete or inconsistent. This is essential for preventing wrongful arrests and ensuring that justice is served accurately.

Empowering Law Enforcement with AI and Automation

“We are on a mission to keep people, assets and networks safe and evolve our technology tool for law enforcement worldwide,” said John Randles, CEO of Siren. “Our partnership with Senzing enhances the Siren platform’s ability to precisely identify suspects. This joint capability empowers law enforcement to uncover even more hidden connections and act with greater speed and precision.”

Surfacing Hidden Insights with AI-Powered Precision

Siren’s platform is renowned for enabling advanced search, visualization, and reporting, allowing law enforcement to explore complex data relationships in real-time. However, the sheer volume of data often means that crucial connections and entities can remain hidden. The Senzing AI for entity resolution continuously learns and improves, offering unparalleled accuracy in identifying entities across disparate datasets. Unlike most AI technologies, Senzing provides full details on how entities were resolved so investigators can confidently make decisions based on the results. 

“We are proud to partner with Siren on its important mission to help the world’s leading Law Enforcement, National Security and Cyber Security Centers analyze risks. Siren’s emphasis on making connected, enriched data from multiple sources accessible to investigators makes Senzing Entity Resolution a perfect fit.’ added Jeff Jonas, Senzing CEO

Transforming Law Enforcement Operations

The integration of Siren and Senzing technologies has a profound impact on law enforcement operations. Whether it’s enhancing anti-money laundering (AML) efforts, uncovering criminal networks, or linking scattered pieces of intelligence across jurisdictions, the combined solution addresses the core challenges faced by law enforcement today.

As law enforcement agencies continue to navigate the complexities of modern crime, the need for accurate, entity resolution AI combined with powerful automation has never been greater. The Siren-Senzing partnership delivers a solution that not only enhances the ability to search, connect, and report on data but also uncovers obfuscated entities and hidden relationships that drive meaningful insights and outcomes.
