The Technology Behind Real-Time Leads
How do you go from an arrest happening to a lead in your inbox in under 5 minutes? It requires a sophisticated technology stack working seamlessly together.
Component 1: Data Monitoring
Jail Roster Scanning
Every jail maintains an online roster of current inmates. Our system:
1. Monitors continuously: Checking rosters every few minutes
2. Detects changes: New bookings are identified immediately
3. Extracts data: Booking information is parsed and stored
4. Validates entries: Duplicate and erroneous entries are filtered
Technical Challenges
- Different jails use different formats
- Some update in real-time, others batch
- Data quality varies significantly
- System uptime must be 99.9%+
Our Solution
- Custom scrapers for each jurisdiction
- Machine learning for format variations
- Redundant monitoring systems
- 24/7 operational oversight
Component 2: Identity Resolution
Once we know someone is arrested, we need to find family contacts.
Data Sources
- Public records databases
- Social graph analysis
- Contact verification services
- Proprietary data partnerships
Process
1. Identify the individual: Match booking info to records
2. Find connections: Family, emergency contacts, relationships
3. Verify contacts: Ensure numbers are current and accurate
4. Filter appropriately: Remove duplicates, invalid numbers
Privacy Considerations
All data used is:
- Publicly available or properly licensed

- Handled per privacy regulations
