Peregrine Technologies Expands with $30M Funding, Boosts Police Surveillance

Aug 13, 2024, 01:25 PM

Peregrine Technologies, a startup founded by former Palantir executives, is developing a Google-like surveillance tool aimed at enhancing U.S. police departments' access to surveillance data. The company, which raised $30 million in May and reported $10 million in revenue for 2023, has rapidly expanded, tripling its business over the past three years and securing 53 contracts across the United States. Peregrine's web-based application allows users to enter a name or address to scan police datasets for matches. The founders aim to improve law enforcement's access to information while addressing potential abuses of surveillance technologies.
