OSINT for law enforcement investigations

Public-record and commercial OSINT sources on one desk for case support.

Investigators use SearchIn to query breach intelligence, identity modules, domains, and images through a single prepaid workflow. Results land in investigations you can reopen; spend stays tied to actual queries rather than unused annual seats. Always follow agency policy and lawful-use requirements.

Who it's for

  • Detectives and analysts supporting criminal investigations
  • Cybercrime and online exploitation units
  • Fusion-center and intel support staff
  • Agencies that need commercial OSINT without multi-vendor sprawl

Common SearchIn workflows

Product-led workflows that match how this industry typically uses SearchIn.

Identifier expansion
Start from an email, phone, username, or name and fan out across identity and breach providers to surface linked accounts and exposures.
Infrastructure context
Map domains and related DNS/WHOIS records, then check host exposure on Shodan when cases involve online infrastructure.
Image leads
Run facial recognition or photo geolocation when media is part of the case file.
Case-linked search history
Group related searches under an investigation so pivots stay attached to the case workspace.

Frequently asked questions

Is SearchIn a law-enforcement-only product?

No. SearchIn serves professional investigators across sectors. Law enforcement users must comply with agency policy, warrants/subpoenas where required, and all applicable law.

How is spending controlled?

Credits come from a prepaid USD wallet. You pay per successful provider query; failed searches are refunded. Team wallets help units share a budget.

Can results be revisited later?

Yes. Investigations group SearchIn jobs so case work stays reopenable without re-running every query from scratch.

Is there an API for internal tools?

Yes. The same providers are available via authenticated API endpoints for agencies that integrate OSINT into internal workflows.
