CellHawk transforms complex mobile and location data into clear, court-ready insights helping investigators uncover patterns, link suspects, and advance cases in minutes, not days.

Overview

CellHawk is a CJIS-compliant, court-validated investigative platform that turns raw mobile and geo-location data into actionable intelligence. It unifies call detail records (CDRs), tower dumps, GPS logs, Cellebrite exports, and other digital evidence into powerful, easy-to-understand visuals.

Designed for investigators, CellHawk delivers speed, accuracy, and clarity so teams can map movements, identify associates, and build defensible cases

Benefits

Purpose-built capabilities that help investigators move from raw data to actionable intelligence faster and with greater confidence.

Use Cases

Real-world scenarios where CellHawk helps investigators cut through complex mobile data to advance cases faster.

Homicide & Violent Crime Investigations

Analyze CDRs, tower dumps, and GPS data to trace suspect movements, cross-reference co-located devices, and verify or disprove alibis with timestamp precision.

Missing Persons & Abduction Cases

Visualize pings, calls, and location records to reconstruct last known locations or travel routes. Identify contacts or devices in the same area and focus search efforts where they matter most.

Property Crime & Burglary Rings

Correlate CDRs, GPS logs, and tower dump data to link repeat offenders across multiple incidents. Identify shared devices, locations, and patterns that connect suspects to crime scenes.

Cold Case Review

Re-examine legacy CDRs, tower dumps, and GPS data through modern pattern-of-life and co-location analysis to surface missed associations and previously invisible behavioral patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about CellHawk

What is CellHawk?

CellHawk is a CJIS-compliant investigative platform that transforms complex mobile and geo-location data into clear, court-ready insights. It automates the process of mapping call detail records (CDRs), tower dumps, GPS logs, and other mobile data, helping investigators visualize movements, patterns, and connections in minutes, not days.

Who uses CellHawk?

CellHawk is built for law enforcement and investigative professionals, including detectives, analysts, prosecutors, and task-force members who work with mobile or digital evidence. It's used by local, state, tribal, and federal agencies across the U.S.

What kind of data does CellHawk analyze?

CellHawk supports call detail records (CDRs), tower dumps, GPS logs, Cellebrite exports, rideshare data, and other mobile or geo-location sources. It can process millions of records from virtually any carrier or data provider to uncover relationships, routes, and activity patterns.

How fast is the analysis?

CellHawk can map roughly 4,000 records in the time it takes to plot one by hand. Most datasets, such as a year's worth of call records, are fully processed and visualized in under 20 minutes.

How is CellHawk different from manual mapping or other software?

Manual mapping is slow and prone to error. CellHawk automates data ingestion, mapping, and pattern detection, turning what used to take days into minutes. Unlike generic Geographic Information System tools, it's built specifically for investigators, providing forensic accuracy and an intuitive workflow.

Do users need technical or data-science training?

No. CellHawk is designed for investigators, not analysts or programmers. Its intuitive interface allows any user to import data, visualize results, and generate reports without coding or specialized mapping skills.
