It means law enforcement can be using the most current data to improve the safety of the communities they serve.

As the type of threats communities face become more complex, law enforcement personnel need solutions that help them keep on top of their investigations. After all, locating a subject quickly is absolutely critical. Searching multiple, unconnected data sources can produce conflicting details – and that causes confusion and wastes valuable time.

Thomson Reuters CLEAR® for law enforcement helps officers increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their investigations by harnessing the power of billions of data points in public records. Officers no longer have to sift through volumes of data to make connections.

In addition, CLEAR offers your agency data and password plan options designed to match your community's needs.

CLEAR is the next-generation online investigative platform that is designed specifically to meet the uniquely demanding needs of investigators. When you add Real-Time Incarceration and Arrest Records (RTIA), you now have a tool that helps every officer in any jurisdiction know who has been arrested, when, and where.

Criminals don’t recognize jurisdictions, so law enforcement needs access to national data. They may not realize that a witness who saw a crime in their jurisdiction was recently arrested somewhere in another state. But with CLEAR and RTIA, you’d have direct access to that information.

WHAT DOES CLEAR DELIVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT?

CLEAR makes it a lot easier – and faster – to locate people, assets, businesses, affiliations, and other critical facts that allow law enforcement to make vital additional connections. CLEAR offers a vast, unmatched collection of public and proprietary records to help law enforcement professionals make a deep dive into a search in order to uncover hard-to-find data.

All in all, CLEAR saves you time by giving you the ability to search data and view relevant results in a way that matches how you prefer to work.

WHAT DOES RTIA ADD?

CLEAR with RTIA provides a real-time gateway that is updated frequently to ensure you have access to the most current information possible. That gateway leads you to more than 140 million booking records and over 38 million images (including lineup photos) – and those totals are growing by 600,000 records every month. RTIA also gives you access to more than 2,000 agency and jurisdiction records from more than 43 states, including 28 Department of Corrections files.

Incarceration and arrest records are available through the Person, Court, Bookings, and Search All tabs on CLEAR and they’re included in the National Comprehensive and Provider Comprehensive Reports.

With RTIA on CLEAR, you’ll be able to identify physical characteristics, gang affiliations, sex offender information, scars and markings. And you’ll have access to an individual’s complete criminal history.

BE ALERTED TO ARREST UPDATES.

Alerts for RTIA will notify you when a witness, person of interest, or subject is arrested. You’ll know exactly when, why, and where it happened so you can respond immediately. That means you can get the most up-to-date information without having to search – and that saves you time and reduces workload.

WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS SAY.

CLEAR was the ONLY database that had an address different from all my other research sources, which led to the current address of the primary target.”

Daani-Ruth Svonkin, former analyst with the San Bernardino Police Department

(CLEAR delivers) accurate and valuable information, helping save hours of investigative work. Timing is everything, and having the right tools to do your job helps keep the community safe. Benefits are not limited to one area of the law. It is far-reaching, and is vital for every business.”

Terry Reeves, Undersheriff for Crowley County
