Abstract: Agencies issue recording devices to personnel for administrating and monitoring controlled calls during the course of their duties. To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, a virtual number is provisioned and configured to enable an operator to administrate controlled calls without dedicated recording devices. Using the virtual number, the operator may setup a controlled call between a victim and a baddie. The victim is contacted via the virtual number by the operator and optionally informed about the controlled call process. In turn, the baddie is contacted using number information of the victim's phone and connected with the victim. Call audio between the victim and baddie is transmitted to the operator. When necessary, the operator may terminate the call remotely from the telephonic device the operator used to setup the call.

Abstract: Agencies issue multiple devices to personnel for maintaining distinct identities over the course of assigned investigations. To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, a phone is converted for use with multiple attached telephone numbers. Accordingly, a single phone may be used to manage multiple identities over the course of one or more investigations. Using a multiple attached number, a given device can place and receive calls over the network to and from contacts. In addition to providing multiple attached numbers, calls using the multiple attached numbers may be monitored live and recorded to establish evidence.

Abstract: Agencies oftentimes desire to monitor personnel in the field during the course of their duties. To provide flexible monitoring capabilities to agencies, a common mobile device such as a mobile phone is converted for use as a radio-based listening system to collect and transmit audio data. Phone features and accessories are leveraged to collect additional data for transmission. Collected data is streamed or otherwise transmitted to monitoring devices at the agency or in the field for operational oversight and recordation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods described herein relate to providing body worn camera functionality to users, such as on their mobile device. Additionally, capabilities of mobile devices such as mobile telephonic devices are leveraged to stream captured audio/visual data in real-time and provide robust notification and safety features to users in order to democratize access to body worn cameras. The additional features promote increased use of the disclosed systems and methods as a safety tool while simultaneously providing increased transparency in law enforcement.

Abstract: A contact lens travel device having a flexible body is provided. The body of the device is configurable to a circular configuration wherein fasteners engaged with opposing ends of the body compressively engage the body encircled around an eyeglass case. So engaged, the device is positionable as a stand for a mirror at multiple angles above a support surface for a user to employ for contact lens insertion or removal from their eyes. A fluid container is engageable within a pocket of the body with a cap end of the container extending from the perimeter to allow for dispensing of eye drops therefrom without removal of the container from the pocket.

Abstract: A system enables a device such as a mobile phone to operate as a transmitter and receiver over non-cellular radio frequencies such as very-high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) not natively compatible with the mobile phone. The system includes a radio appliance coupled to a radio that receives and transmits information over non-cellular radio frequencies. The radio appliance provides an interface between the radio and a web appliance accessible on a network such as the internet. The radio appliance receives information in broadcast from the radio and transmits the information to the web appliance over the network. The web appliance provides mobile devices access to the information received from the radio appliance, such as audio that was broadcast, over the network. Additionally, the web appliance may receive information from the mobile phone for transmission to the radio appliance and subsequent broadcast by the radio.

Abstract: An inmate communication system is configured to manage the sending and receiving of messages on a messaging service between an inmate incarcerated in a correctional institution and other inmates, or between the inmate and a contact located outside of the facility. Example messaging services include SMS and MMS. Inmates are provided access to a messaging terminal. The inmates interact with the messaging terminal to compose messages for transmission and view received message transmissions. The message communications of the inmates and contacts are analyzed prior to transmission to the recipient. Message contents are analyzed for flagged key-words and flagged sender/recipients. Flagged messages may be placed in an approval queue prior to their delivery for approval or rejection.

Abstract: Embodiments of the systems and methods described herein relate to covertly monitoring call audio and obtaining other communications of a source device with a target device. For example, a source, with a mobile phone configured as the source device, and working in cooperation with an agency agrees to the interception communications at the source device. A covert application provided to the source device manages configuration of the source device and covert interception of the communications. The intercepting of communications at the source device is performed covertly to protect the source in instances where the source is an undercover informant with the agency.

Abstract: To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, an agency service configures a virtual number for wiretapping communications between subjects and an informant. A wiretap module executing on the informant's device registers with the agency service for authorization to utilize a virtual number for wiretapping the informant device. The wiretapping module works in conjunction with the agency service to covertly route communications between the informant device and subject device through the virtual number, which may be monitored by agency personnel and the communications thereon recorded. Through the described wiretapping system, the informant may communicate with subjects in a traditional fashion utilizing the informant device all the while the communications are monitored and recorded with low cost to the agency.

Abstract: A negotiator makes and receives calls and SMS with a subject through a virtual number. Parties of individuals serving specialized functions are optionally dialed in to monitor the call/receive the SMS each time those communications occur. Alternatively, a member of a particular party can dial in ahead of a call and be placed in a waiting room for the party until the call happens. Different parties may have different functions. For example, one party may be configured such that members can discuss amongst themselves while hearing the negotiator and the subject communicate. Another party may be configured such that communications among the members is disabled such that each member only hears audio from the negotiator and subject.
