Police & sheriff's investigative units
Attribute anonymous accounts, phones, and emails to real people, and know which provider holds the records before the first request goes out.
OSINT for Law Enforcement
OSINT and investigative support for law enforcement and prosecutors.
OSINT support for law enforcement is passive OSINT and investigative casework for agencies and prosecutors' offices — subject attribution, subpoena targeting, legal-process drafts, and sealed, encrypted case files.
For investigative units, DA offices, and task forces. 100% veteran & law-enforcement operated. Passive collection designed not to alert the subject.
What it is
From anonymous lead to named subject.
Passive OSINT and investigative casework. Cited, chain-of-custody evidence. Collection designed not to alert the subject.
OnTrial attributes anonymous accounts, phones, emails, and domains to real people, identifies which carrier, platform, exchange, or provider holds the records, and prepares legal-process drafts for agency investigators and prosecutors to review and file.
The work draws on the same capabilities behind OnTrial's online harassment investigations, and cryptocurrency tracing — each finding investigator-verified. See the glossary for the terms of art.
Who this is for
Built for agencies and prosecutors.
District attorney & prosecutor offices
Cited, chain-of-custody findings graded confirmed or candidate — evidence you can file.
Multi-agency task forces
Passive OSINT and investigative casework across subjects, accounts, phones, and wallets, delivered as sealed, encrypted case files with per-case access controls.
Crime & intelligence analysts
Carrier and line-type intelligence, email validation, domain registration history, certificates, passive DNS, and hosting pivots — reconciled and investigator-verified.
What it includes
The components of agency casework.
Subject attribution
Anonymous accounts, threats, phones, emails, and domains attributed to real people through breach, infrastructure, and social pivots.
Subpoena targeting
Which carrier, platform, exchange, or provider holds the records — and a ranked list of who to subpoena and what to ask for.
Legal-process drafts
Drafts prepared for agency investigators and prosecutors to review and file. OnTrial does not issue legal process.
Device location & pattern of life
Device-level location intelligence shows movement history, dwell time, home and work anchors, co-location, and which devices were present at a place and time. Location data is redacted for health-facility visits.
Vehicle & license-plate intelligence
Registered-owner lookups, reverse DMV, and license-plate-reader sightings that place vehicles in time and space, under DPPA permissible-purpose controls.
Cryptocurrency tracing
Tie people to exchanges, payment apps, and wallets, trace on-chain flows, and produce a ranked list of who to subpoena and what to ask for.
