Multitude Insights Launches SmartLink, the First AI-Powered Crime Signal to Help Law Enforcement Solve Cases Faster

• SmartLink analyzes massive volumes of active law enforcement bulletins to surface connections hidden in plain sight, turning scattered clues into cross-agency intelligence
• Multitude Insights’ broader platform is already trusted by 50+ agencies in many of the highest-volume police departments across 10 states
• With $5.4M raised to date, the company is expanding deployment of its case-solving platform nationwide, helping departments close cases faster and share intelligence in a system where information is often siloed, even as crime crosses city and state lines

Multitude Insights today announced the nationwide launch of SmartLink, a first-of-its-kind AI product embedded within its flagship platform, BLTN. The tool helps law enforcement identify hidden connections between cases, suspects, and bulletins across jurisdictions, giving departments a faster, clearer path to solving crimes.

SmartLink acts as a modern-day crime analyst, built for a problem every agency knows: critical clues buried in disconnected systems, static PDFs, and overflowing inboxes. It analyzes a high volume of active bulletins - descriptions, alerts, images, and reports - to surface connections hidden in plain sight. The system doesn’t rely on basic keyword matching. It understands deeper context - suspect behavior, vehicle types, incident patterns, and geography - and flags links across precincts, helping agencies connect dots they didn’t even know to look for.

“SmartLink is helping our detectives surface connections we might not have caught,” said Detective Swift of Watertown PD. “This is the kind of intelligence we’ve needed for years.”

While SmartLink launches nationwide today, it builds on the foundation of Multitude Insights’ broader platform, BLTN — already trusted by more than 50 high-volume departments across 10 states. BLTN replaces outdated intel workflows like email blasts, Word docs, and siloed folders with a modern system purpose-built for real-time intelligence sharing. From crime bulletins and BOLOs to suspicious activity reports and emerging threats, agencies use BLTN to create, distribute, and act on critical information faster. Departments using BLTN have seen intel open rates increase 11x — from 4% to 44% — and are generating intelligence 80% faster, leading to faster case resolution, stronger collaboration, and more consistent sharing across precincts and partner agencies.

In early pilots, SmartLink has already surfaced critical connections that traditional systems missed. In one case, two major agencies in different states — a large city police department and a state fusion center — had each issued separate alerts on the BLTN platform about a domestic terror group suspected of targeting weather infrastructure. Neither agency knew the other was working on the same threat. SmartLink automatically linked the posts, revealing a coordinated pattern and enabling cross-state collaboration that would have otherwise been delayed or missed entirely. In another region, SmartLink uncovered connections across credit card fraud, commercial burglaries, and serial break-ins — helping multiple jurisdictions tie together cases that had been treated as unrelated and close them faster.

Agencies using BLTN include major metro departments and multi-agency intelligence hubs such as the Boston Police Department, Oklahoma City Police Department, and New Jersey Transit Police, where detectives and analysts rely on the system to share critical intelligence in real-time and identify cross-jurisdictional patterns that previously fell through the cracks.

“During a police ride-along, we saw an officer delete a bulletin that could’ve broken open a case,” said Matt White, co-founder and CEO of Multitude Insights. “Not because they didn’t care, but because they’re overwhelmed with PDFs and emails, and there’s no way to connect the dots. SmartLink is built to make sure the next clue doesn’t get lost in someone’s inbox.”

SmartLink is the result of months of field testing within BLTN alongside law enforcement partners. Designed to support real-world workflows, it’s built not just to store data, but to surface the insights that help close cases. By analyzing crime bulletins and incident reports in real-time, SmartLink flags similarities and links across jurisdictions, revealing when multiple departments are tracking the same suspect, vehicle, or pattern without realizing it.

The company has raised $5.4M in funding from Commonweal Ventures, Counterview Ventures, VSC Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Rough Draft Ventures, and Oasis Ventures, and is expanding access to SmartLink nationwide.

Co-founded by former Naval Aviator Matt White and legal-tech entrepreneur Akihiko Izu, the team includes veterans from law enforcement, government, and mission-critical enterprise software. Their shared goal: replace outdated systems with tools that actually help solve cases, especially in the first 48 hours, when every missed clue matters.
