Telmate Veriﬁed: Designed by Investigators for Investigators

Telmate Veriﬁed and Telmate Investigator tools deﬁned

Telmate Veriﬁed is an automated identity veriﬁcation system included in every Telmate installation that authenticates all users. It is the core of Telmate Investigator, our investigator-centric suite

of tools. Telmate Veriﬁed is the technology additive that optimizes the performance of Telmate Investigator, allowing the tools to track and process every action including phone calls, deposits, video visits, messages, and shared photos.

Telmate Veriﬁed makes it possible for investigators to strengthen the acuity of their investigations and go light-years farther than previously thought possible. Our robust automated identity veriﬁcation system has the power to stand apart from other systems that only track limited identities and actions. Telmate Veriﬁed makes the investigative side of Telmate the most powerful search tool available for correctional facilities.

Our advanced investigator tools work in tandem with Telmate Veriﬁed to search, extract and decipher data, turning inmate’s personal networks and crumbs of information into usable insights that help investigators connect the dots, and unlock unprecedented crime ﬁghting intelligence. With a database of hundreds of thousands of veriﬁed users, investigators can search warrants, ﬂag deposits, unravel gang alliances and ﬁnd new evidence to incriminate suspects under investigation.

Telmate Veriﬁed empowers investigators by giving them the ability to uncover unknown relationships and positively identify their suspect, which is one of the most crucial processes and steps in a criminal investigation. It also provides fact-based jumps in the investigation, not just leaps of faith.

Challenges: When inmates communicate, who are they really connecting with?

Finding suspects who have a criminal record or a warrant is easy, but investigators report the real challenge is ﬁnding the often invisible connections – those people who are “off the radar.”

Connections mean nothing if you don’t know the identity of the individual who is out there having contact with an inmate. It’s not about what device is connected to what device; it’s about which person is connected to which person; and the person the device is attached to.

telmate veriﬁed | | 3

Today, there are thousands of tools available to analyze device-to-device communications, but none of them can actually verify the identity of the individual. Instead, it is the real, human connections that give investigators the ability to be more effective in their jobs.

Within a jail or prison, there are myriad ways that inmates, friends, family and even staff, connect — including phone calls, video visits, deposits, messages, photo sharing, commissary orders, requests, grievances, and more. The sheer amount of individuals and possible combinations of connections through these various channels becomes staggering, especially when an investigator is trying to uncover clues and key relationships.

While most inmate communication systems track some user identities, Telmate Veriﬁed is the only system in corrections that literally makes it possible to track every user and every action within the Telmate system. In short, Telmate Veriﬁed tells investigators: who did what, when, and from where. This means that investigators know that “Paul” called “Mary” (Paul is an inmate and Mary is a Telmate Veriﬁed friends and family member in the Telmate system) from Facility X. And that in an instant, the investigator can know that Paul, who was booked on drug charges, was using a phone, in Pod 4, to contact Mary, who called from San Diego, CA, and who is also connected with another known drug dealer in the same facility. With Telmate Veriﬁed what was a hunch now becomes empirical fact.

Complexities of investigation today

For years, traditional police work has been carried out with boots-on-the-ground methods such as: scouring traditional types of databases; walking door-to-door to ﬁnd information; gathering video in the area that a crime was committed.

Today investigators are dealing with ever growing numbers of cases and complex evidence sources. These investigators are often overworked with too many piled up cases, and in need of more than traditional investigator tools to stay ahead of criminal activity.

The traditional linear approach to boots-on-the-ground investigating and manually piecing together facts and evidence leads to higher costs and bogged down and bloated case backlogs. It is often difﬁcult to see the bigger picture, realize efﬁcacy, put all the facts together and save time. In general, these outdated methods do not offer scalable solutions, which leaves investigators looking to technology companies like Telmate, for more efﬁcient ways to uncover the facts.

As to why investigators beneﬁt when they implement technology like Telmate Veriﬁed and Telmate Investigator. For example, the addition of Telmate Veriﬁed technology acts as a powerful force multiplier, giving one investigator the strength and capability of ﬁve investigators. And investigators quickly realize the beneﬁts of technology in ways they

telmate veriﬁed | | 4

never imagined possible. Nearly all investigators report that once they start being adopters of end-to-end investigative technology like Telmate Investigator, it far surpasses their expectations and becomes an essential component of an investigative division.

Telmate and rapid innovation

Telmate introduced technology into the corrections industry at a swift pace. We began by modernizing phone communications and rapidly expanded into today’s business, which includes secure forms of what we mostly use in our modern, technologically-driven world: messaging, video chats, phones, tablets, and mobile applications — all in a secure, controlled manner.

As a result of Telmate’s expansion, we have accumulated a signiﬁcant amount of big data around criminal human networks. This human network behind crime is immensely valuable to investigators. Recognizing that advantage, Telmate has gone a step beyond any other corrections provider in the industry with Telmate Veriﬁed, to ensure that we have rich data on the identity of every person within the criminal network. In other words, we know and have veriﬁed the identity of every person that comes into our system.

Why does Telmate do this? There are a number of reasons. For example: Telmate Veriﬁed makes it easy to discover attempted or ongoing criminal behavior early on, allowing us to intervene and take appropriate action. Telmate Veriﬁed can prevent extortion and money laundering, while having the positive side beneﬁt of crime reduction. In addition to crime prevention and reduction, the information we obtain is a treasure trove to investigators.

How Telmate Veriﬁed creates automatic user dossiers

From the initial point of contact to every subsequent interaction, Telmate Veriﬁed is automatically building comprehensive user dossiers. Each different point of contact into the Telmate system brings more information and continues to ﬁll in a dynamic, rich data picture for investigators. This information is then conﬁrmed and veriﬁed by third party sources, ensuring that the information provided is correct.

Information collection begins at account creation. When friends and family of an inmate want to receive calls, deposit funds, leave a voicemail, or schedule a video visit, they are ﬁrst prompted to create an account through one of the following Telmate touch points:

-At a facility lobby kiosk

-Over the phone

-Online at www.GettingOut.com

telmate veriﬁed | | 5

As a result, from moment one Telmate Veriﬁed begins to harvest data and connect each user with inmates.

At the Kiosk

When an individual creates an account at the lobby kiosk, they must scan or swipe the front/ back of a photo ID, typically a drivers license. At this touchpoint, Telmate Veriﬁed harvests additional information such as:

-- DOB, zip code, address, and photo (we compare the photo on the ID to a real-time photo).

Over the Phone

When an individual creates an account over the phone, they are required to go through an automated process conﬁrming their identity by answering a series of questions that are matched against a national database and background checks. At this touchpoint, Telmate Veriﬁed harvests:

-- First and last name, zip code, last four of SS.

Online at GettingOut Website

When an individual creates an account online, they are required to provide a valid credit card. At this touchpoint, Telmate Veriﬁed harvests:

-- First and last name, zip code, DOB, and address.

Once a user has created an account and becomes Telmate Veriﬁed, additional information is constantly being updated and gathered through any subsequent interaction they have with the Telmate system. For example, if a user makes any type of connection with an inmate, uses a new credit card, scans a new ID, or has a new photo taken at a kiosk, Telmate Veriﬁed automatically adds the information to the user proﬁle, which bolsters the individual’s overall data picture. With our system, typically in only a few weeks of standard deposits, phone calls, visits and messages, Telmate Veriﬁed creates a user dossier that used to take investigators months to amass.

Beneﬁts of Telmate Veriﬁed

When investigators use Telmate Veriﬁed and associated investigator tools, they bring speed, precision, efﬁciency and quality to their facility and investigations, while experiencing the following beneﬁts:
