How modern law enforcement professionals, like LeoTech, are bridging critical information gaps to solve cases faster.
Highlights
- Learn how modern investigative tools turn dead‑end leads into breakthrough intelligence.
- Real‑world cases show how CLEAR empowers investigators to act faster.
- LeoTech’s fusion of communications analytics with CLEAR delivers a powerful advantage.
Every investigator knows the frustration: you have a lead, a phone number, maybe a street name, but the usual databases come up empty. The suspect’s associates remain shadows, and time keeps ticking while victims wait for justice.
This intelligence gap is a barrier between law enforcement and successful case resolution. But a growing number of investigators are discovering that the right investigative tools can transform those dead ends into breakthrough moments.

The reality of traditional databases
Measuring success: Cases solved and lives protected
The reality of traditional databases
Today’s criminals don’t operate in isolation. They build networks of associates, use multiple communication channels, and deliberately obscure their digital footprints. Traditional law enforcement databases, while valuable, often miss the connections that matter most which can slow down or stall cases.
“I need to know who these individuals are—their telephone numbers and emails. They want to be anonymous; they don’t want you to find them.”
John Jefferson, Training Manager at LeoTech and a 30-year law enforcement veteran
Speed as a critical factor
In law enforcement, speed often determines outcomes. Whether tracking active suspects or protecting potential victims, investigators need immediate access to actionable intelligence.
“I can go directly to CLEAR and get the information instead of navigating two or three different databases. That saves me a lot of time. I would say it saves a third of my day that I would otherwise spend looking for things I can get quickly with CLEAR”
John Jefferson, Training Manager at LeoTech
The platform’s user-friendly design proves crucial during high-pressure situations. “It’s very user-friendly. If I misspell something, CLEAR will still give me what I’m looking for. For example, if I leave an ‘e’ out of ‘Yvette,’ I still get relevant results.”
This time savings translates directly into more cases investigated, more leads followed, and ultimately, more crimes solved.
Measuring success: Cases solved and lives protected
LeoTech’s experience demonstrates a synergy of innovative technology and expertise. By combining their Verus communications analytics platform with Thomson Reuters CLEAR, they create what Jefferson calls “a beautiful marriage” that delivers enhanced intelligence to law enforcement partners.
The ultimate measure of any investigative tool is its impact on case outcomes. Jefferson is clear about the results: “There is no doubt that there are cases that have been solved by utilizing CLEAR. Our partners in law enforcement are very appreciative and impressed with the reports we are able to produce using CLEAR.”
This success translates into tangible benefits for law enforcement agencies:
- Faster case resolution
- Higher clearance rates
- Enhanced officer safety through better intelligence
- Improved community protection
The strategic choice
Criminal networks continue to grow more sophisticated, requiring law enforcement to upgrade its investigative tools. Agencies that invest in comprehensive platforms now will be better equipped for future cases.
Jefferson’s advice to fellow professionals is straightforward: “I tell my law enforcement peers, if you aren’t using CLEAR, you’re missing out on a lot of good intelligence.”
The question is how quickly agencies can implement tools that help officers solve more cases. Better intelligence means safer communities and faster justice.
