Problem

Code Four addresses the administrative burden of police report writing and investigation. Officers can spend up to 40% of a shift on paperwork, including rewatching body-camera footage, transcribing conversations, documenting incidents, and filing reports. At Pocatello Police Department, incidents lasting minutes generated two to three hours of reporting work, keeping officers at their desks after shifts, increasing the risk of missed or misremembered details, and reducing time available for patrol and community engagement.

The killer use case is converting body-camera footage into a usable first draft of an incident report. The economics are compelling for departments: Code Four reports a 65% average reduction in report-writing time and approximately $80,000 in annual budget savings per department, while its Pocatello case study reports a 75% reduction in writing time and more than eight hours saved per officer per week.

Product / Service

Code Four is a law-enforcement software platform built around three workflows: REPORT for AI-assisted police report writing, INSIGHTS for investigative search and analysis, and Flash for mobile field capture of notes, photographs, and follow-up. Its AI analyzes audio, video, transcripts, notes, metadata, and case context, identifies key events, creates timestamped narratives and timelines, and produces source-linked reports that officers can review and correct before filing.

The product is delivered as a department-oriented software service that integrates with existing body-camera, records-management, and computer-aided-dispatch workflows. The company says departments can go live in under 10 minutes and lists pricing of $50 per officer per month. The intended benefit is not to remove human judgment, but to replace transcription and blank-page drafting with a reviewable, evidence-linked starting point; in the Pocatello deployment, the system integrated with i-Pro cameras and produced reports described as roughly 80% complete before officer review.

Market

Code Four competes in GovTech and vertical SaaS for law-enforcement records, reporting, body-camera analysis, and investigative intelligence. The competitive set includes established police-technology vendors such as Axon, whose Draft One product is cited in an alternatives comparison, as well as newer AI report-drafting tools such as Truleo. Code Four’s differentiation is its combination of multimodal body-camera analysis, source-linked report generation, investigative search, and mobile capture around existing officer workflows rather than a standalone transcription tool.

The company appears commercially deployed rather than purely pre-revenue: its website says it is trusted by more than 100 U.S. departments and names customers including Pocatello, Fayetteville, Amery, Grass Valley, Heber City, Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Salt Lake City Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, and Stevens County Sheriff’s Office. It reports a $2.7 million Y Combinator seed round in November 2025 and a secondary funding profile reports $3.2 million raised across two rounds. Revenue is not disclosed, but the customer count, published per-officer pricing, case studies, and live deployments indicate early commercial traction.
