Donate to the FBI National Academy Foundation to Keep Your TRULEO Access

One of the earliest signs that TRULEO had achieved product-market fit was not revenue. It was the number of individual officers asking to purchase the platform themselves.

Over the years, hundreds of investigators have told us: “My department does not have the budget yet, but I cannot lose access to TRULEO.” Some were waiting for the next budget cycle. Others said TRULEO had completely changed how they investigated cases. One officer even told us he had planned to leave law enforcement until he discovered the platform.

The challenge was that TRULEO is enterprise software. Individual officers cannot sign agency contracts, and we could not simply accept personal payments for government software.

So we found a better solution. 

How It Works

Beginning today, individual officers can make a donation to the FBI National Academy Foundation equal to the annual cost of a TRULEO license. In appreciation for supporting the Foundation, TRULEO will provide that officer with one year of continued access. This gives investigators a way to keep using TRULEO while their department works through its normal procurement process.

Why the FBI National Academy Foundation?

TRULEO has proudly supported the FBI National Academy community for years. Our Co-Founder and CEO, Anthony Tassone, serves on the Foundation’s Board of Directors and believes National Academy graduates represent the very best of American law enforcement.

We are honored to support an organization dedicated to developing and serving those leaders.

Supporting Those Who Protect Our Communities

Investigations do not stop because a free trial expires or a budget has not been approved.
If TRULEO can help solve a cold case, uncover hidden evidence, or bring justice to a victim’s family, we want officers to have a path to continue using the platform. This is another example of our commitment to doing what is right for the law enforcement community.

We also proudly provide TRULEO at no cost to eligible United States military veterans working for departments with a paid TRULEO deployment.

Technology should support those who dedicate their lives to protecting others. This new program is another step toward making sure it does.
