OKLAHOMA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Telmate Verified Leads Investigators to Cop Shooter’s Money Trail

INVESTIGATOR CHALLENGES: Law enforcement can spend days unearthing leads to a criminal investigation. The appropriate paperwork needs to be filed, vetted and approved. Once approval is met, the search begins. Hundreds of man hours are spent looking for possible ties to an inmate or a crime. Thousands of dollars are spent holding suspects for questioning.

REAL-LIFE SOLUTION: Bass, together with a team of investigators listened to the suspect’s phone calls through the Telmate system for over 5 months. During a conversation with his girlfriend, the suspect directed her to retrieve a bag of money. Investigators located her using information available through Telmate Verified, an automated identity verification system that is the core of Telmate Investigator tools. The suspect was ultimately arrested because Bass both unearthed and tracked down a crucial piece of evidence using the tools. Today, Bass continues to share his knowledge with other investigators by leading hands-on training nationwide for law enforcement officers, federal agents and district attorneys. To date, he has trained thousands of investigators in over a hundred facilities and 25 agencies (local, state and federal) across the country.

“Every day, I run queries to look for associates, criminal activity and indicators leading to a criminal enterprise,” said Bass, who has been using the system since 2009. “If I didn’t have Telmate, I would not be the detective I am today.”
