Spokeo Targets Law Enforcement Market With Social Media Search Tool

Pasadena-based Spokeo, which offers up an online "people search" tool, said it has launched a new product specifically aimed at the law enforcement market. According to Spokeo, it has launched Spokeo for Law Enforcement, an investigative search tool which pulls together both traditional, public records on people and combines that with social media data. According to Spokeo, the new tool will help officials better track down, monitor and contact individuals. Spokeo said it tapped government data and analytics expert Paul Colangelo and Lieutenant Deputy Sheriff (Reserve) Stephen Henderson to develop the new software. Colangelo is a member of its Advisory board, and is CEO of GRS, and also serves on the Law Enforcement Advisory Board for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Henderson is a Reserve Deputy Sheriff and veteran of the Orange County Sheriffs Department, and also served as Dignitary Protection for US Ambassador George Argyos (Former US Ambassador to Spain).
