Code Four
The AI platform for law enforcement: AI police report writing, source-linked evidence search, investigative intelligence and mobile field capture.
By Code Four Labs, Corp. · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- US police departments and sheriff's offices that already have body-worn cameras and want AI-drafted reports
- Patrol and detective units with heavy paperwork volume; the vendor cites a 65% average cut in report-writing time
- Agencies that want to keep their existing VMS, JMS and RMS and add an AI intelligence layer between them
- Investigators who need cross-case search across video, transcripts, entities and timelines
- Small to mid-size agencies that cannot staff a large records unit (vendor works with towns of 5,000-90,000 residents)
Ideal size: 10-500 sworn officers people · Agency with body-worn cameras plus an RMS/CAD stack
Not for
- Agencies that want fully autonomous, unreviewed AI-authored reports; Code Four keeps the officer as verifier and signer
- Organizations outside law enforcement and public safety
- Buyers who need a body-worn camera hardware or digital evidence storage vendor rather than an analysis layer
- Procurement teams that require published, self-serve pricing before they can budget
- Departments whose sign-off requires SOC 2, ISO 27001 or FedRAMP certification today (not published)

AI features shipped
Sources describe AI report drafting from body-worn camera footage and case context into source-linked, ready-to-file reports, plus AI search over video, transcripts, entities, narratives and case timelines. The Trust Center names Vertex AI processing for the mobile apps. Officer remains the verifier; drafts are versioned with chain-of-custody logging. No independent benchmarks are published.

Bottom line
Code Four (Code Four Labs, Corp.) is an AI platform for US law enforcement. REPORT drafts source-linked police reports from body-worn camera footage; INSIGHTS searches video, transcripts and timelines; redact covers faces, plates and audio; Flash captures field notes. The vendor cites 100+ departments, a 65% average cut in report-writing time, 40+ languages and go-live in under 10 minutes, and positions itself as middleware between existing VMS/JMS and RMS. Pricing is not published, and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP certifications are not claimed; CJIS controls are asserted.
Frequently asked questions
How long does implementation take, and will it disrupt our workflows?
Code Four states that most departments are fully implemented within days and that go-live takes under 10 minutes, with minimal disruption to existing workflows. The platform is designed to sit alongside your current body-camera, VMS/JMS and RMS systems rather than replace them. Departments should still budget internal time for RMS export mappings, records-policy review and CJIS paperwork, none of which the vendor quantifies.
Does Code Four work with our existing body cameras and records system?
Yes. The vendor says the platform can integrate with any body-worn camera system, naming Axon, LensLock, i-PRO, Motorola and Getac, and that it exports structured reports and investigation packets to Tyler Technologies, Mark43, Motorola PremierOne or any custom RMS via API. Jail management, VMS and CAD connections are handled in the same integration layer, with Code Four acting as middleware between VMS/JMS and RMS. Confirm your exact versions and data flows during the demo.
Who is accountable for the accuracy of an AI-drafted report?
Officers remain accountable. Code Four describes itself as a copilot: the AI produces a suggested first draft from body-camera footage and case context, and the officer reviews, edits and signs the final report submitted to court. Drafts are source-linked back to the original video, transcript and notes, with draft versioning and chain-of-custody audit trails so a reviewer can verify each statement before submission.
Is Code Four CJIS compliant, and what security certifications does it hold?
The vendor's FAQ says Code Four meets CJIS controls, including chain of custody and encryption in transit and at rest, and is working with State Emergency Management Agencies on state-level compliance. The integrations page adds AES-256 encryption, role-based access, video hash verification and full audit logging. Beyond CJIS, the public Trust Center does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP or HIPAA. Security documentation and penetration test summaries are available on request under NDA.
Does Code Four use our footage or reports to train AI models?
The Trust Center states plainly that Code Four does not use Customer Data to train or fine-tune general AI models. Body-worn camera video, transcripts and report drafts are processed for the agency's own reporting and investigative workflows. Buyers should still review the Data Processing Addendum, the platform privacy addendum and the subprocessor list to confirm retention periods and any cross-border processing before signing.
What does Code Four cost?
Code Four does not publish pricing. Buyers request a demo and receive a custom agency quote; the site gives no list price, seat minimum or implementation fee. Because the vendor claims implementation within days and go-live in under 10 minutes, the main cost driver is likely subscription volume rather than professional services. Treat any budget figure as unverified until the vendor provides it in writing.
