The solution will assist intelligence analysts in identifying and tracking criminal and national security threats by enabling automated monitoring of key intelligence topics across a variety of social media and web sources.

The required platform must support analyst-driven research and analysis of persons of interest, leveraging publicly available open-source information. Key features include the automated aggregation, collection, and collation of public-facing social media content related to targeted criminal actors, with full source attribution and auditability. The software should be capable of recognizing text embedded in images, as well as detecting and analyzing objects or concepts in images that may present threats or require further scrutiny.

The ideal solution will seamlessly scan multiple social media and open-source outlets, utilizing automated algorithms to harvest threat information across broad topic areas. This capability is essential for supporting law enforcement and national security intelligence operations in the state.
