Testimonials
“GeoTime takes the daunting workload of traditional phone record analysis and makes it quick, efficient, accurate and useful in ANY investigation.”
Albert Mesa
Crime and Intelligence Analyst
Henderson Police Department
“GeoTime has helped improve our analysts’ ability to tell the story of criminals and the cellular devices they use. Before we had GeoTime, it would take days to develop the visual presentations that law enforcement, juries and the courts could understand. GeoTime has made us more efficient and effective.”
Mike Sena
Director
Northern California High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area
Northern California Regional Intelligence Center
“With the violent nature of this particular case, the actionable intelligence provided by the CRT Glimpse Tool was pivotal in narrowing the search for the suspect vehicle.”
Jason White
Homicide Detective
Tulsa Police Department
“GeoTime was essential to mapping out all the phone data and demonstrating that each suspect had the same movement pattern, proving they all arrived at the vicinity of the crime scene. Specifically, the link analysis feature was able to prove that some suspects communicated with one another leading up to each burglary and that all suspects were either directly or indirectly linked to each other. This demonstrated to the jury that there was intent and conspiracy.”
Mark Inaba
Deputy District Attorney
Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office
“Call detail records include a lot of information about calls, cell towers, locations, and content, so explaining to the Court is difficult and often even boring. With GeoTime, visualizing every data point has made it easy to get the attention of the Court, greatly improving the comprehension and the value of technical facts.”
Paolo Reale
Digital Forensic Consultant
Engistudio
“GeoTime is an asset to any size department because of the high quality video that is made from importing call detail records into the software. It’s a very powerful presentation. It has an impact on the jury. With GeoTime, I can show the defendants at all times: before, during and after the homicide.”
Joseph Coffman
Detective
Falls Township Police Department
“It’s as close to reliving the event as you can get.”
Dave Weloth
Crime Analyst
Ogden City Police Department
“We can see if multiple cell phones meet before or after a crime to, say, deliver or hand off a weapon. We can also display all this movement in a video that dramatically increases viewers’ understanding of what they are looking at.”
Toni Nunez
Senior Lead Analyst
LA CLEAR
“When the data [is put into the 3D software] and fits with the prosecution’s case and doesn’t fit with the defendant’s alibi, it’s a powerful weapon in the conviction process.”
Ryan Volkmer
Project Director
Houston HIDTA
“Thank you for a great session. It was very informative and adapted perfectly to meet the needs of our organisation. The case studies were highly valuable. I look forward to using GeoTime on upcoming jobs. Thank You.”
Kirsty
Analyst
South Wales Police, UK
“We are currently testing cellphone software for 4 different companies, but I find that GeoTime is my go-to. So this was my first time using it on a case that I’d never worked. The import was very fast and within a few minutes I found that the person was at our crime location on the date/time in question. Mike was right about learning the system. It wasn’t intuitive at first but now I don’t have to think about the steps, they come naturally. It has so many advantages over my old way of doing the same tasks.”
Lorie Velarde
GIS Analyst
Irvine Police Department
“I love your product, and you guys earned the compliment! Your customer service is so top notch that I always recommend GeoTime to any analyst in the market for cell phone analytics software.”
Deanne Machado
Intelligence & Resource Manager
Davis Police Department
“You guys really do have the best customer service/tech support of any company. If Uncharted was a hotel, I would totally stay there all the time and give it 5 stars on Yelp.”
Intel Analyst, Los Angeles
“And let me say how grateful I am to all those smart people at GeoTime. I have been around since the dinosaur age and I remember what it was like to have to do all of this by hand. Every time. Words cannot express how much I appreciate and value the CRT tool!”
Investigative Analyst, Oklahoma
“Thank you both, brilliant course. I was anxious prior to attending in case the course content was complex but to be fair the course was easy to follow & both Duanne and Warren ensured that everything was explained fully & demonstrated thoroughly. Feel confident learning & look forward to using GeoTime in the near future.”
Cath

“I have never seen such responsive support people with any other company I’ve ever dealt with. And that’s one of the things that I tell other people when they ask me about GeoTime software.”
Senior Investigative Analyst, Oklahoma
“I just want that last nail for the coffin and GeoTime makes that happen.”
Crime Analyst, North Carolina
“Duanne & Warren were extremely knowledgeable, very flexible in regard to what the room required. I would highly recommend both Duanne & Warren.”
Andy
Analyst
South Wales Police, UK
“Proximity detector alone is enough reason to use GeoTime. A task that used to take me a full day is reduced to minutes.”
UK Analyst
“I’ve found GeoTime to be very useful over just using ArcMap, GRASS and R, which are the more traditional means of analyzing movements. I still need those other programs to do my work and produce stats/results, but GeoTime allows me to quickly identify periods of different activity/behavior”

“GeoTime provides a powerful method of visualizing spatial-temporal data.”
