Blue Voice, an AI startup based in Boston, has announced $6 million in funding. The investment round was led by SignalFire and Las Olas VC. The company's mission is to provide police officers with immediate access to department rules and protocols while in the field.
The co-founder, David Lawrence, identified a problem where policing errors often occur due to officers lacking instant access to department rules. Traditional methods for recalling specific protocols, such as reviewing large manuals or contacting supervisors, are time-consuming. General AI tools like ChatGPT were found to provide incorrect answers up to 30% of the time for police-specific queries.
Blue Voice addresses these issues by training its AI on department-specific laws, local ordinances, protocols, and guidelines that are not accessible to general-purpose AI tools. The platform also provides officers with instant access to detailed school maps for active-shooter emergencies. The tool directs officers to original regulations, allowing them to make informed decisions based on official policies combined with their field experience.
Currently, officers in 225 county agencies across 25 states use Blue Voice daily. The company reports that its customer base grew elevenfold over the last year, indicating increasing adoption within police departments. The platform answers a question every minute, providing officers with reliable policy information.
