A great morning of training at the Upstate Crime Analysis Center.

We had analysts, investigators, and command staff from Greer Police Department, Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, Fountain Inn Police Department, and Spartanburg Police Department join us for Auto Theft Investigations training.

And, a big thank you to Special Agent, Chris Houston, M.S., with the National Insurance Crime Bureau for leading the way. We’re lucky to have Chris semi-local to us and even luckier that he’s always willing to share his time and expertise with our area.

Good training + good people + agencies learning alongside each other. Exactly the kind of day we like to see at UCAC

We're excited to share that the Upstate Crime Analysis Center (UCAC) at the University of South Carolina Upstate is expanding the investigative technologies available to support law enforcement partners across the Upstate through a groundbreaking partnership with Tranquility AI.

As part of this collaboration, TimePilot will become one of the tools available to crime analysts and investigators working active cases in the Center.

As our Director, Breanna Haney, shared:
"One of our goals is to give agencies of all sizes in the Upstate region of South Carolina access to new technologies that help them solve cases more effectively. Adding TimePilot to our Center expands the resources available through UCAC and gives analysts and investigators another way to organize, analyze, and connect evidence across complex cases."
