The fastest path between a trigger pull and actionable intelligence.
From casing to lead in minutes.
Your investigators scan a recovered casing at the scene and learn how many shooters and firearms were involved, plus a lead in minutes connected to weapons, people, and prior incidents. The evidence continues on its normal path to the lab.

The evidence is already there. Now it can speak in the first hour.
After a shooting, the most valuable window opens immediately, while witnesses are near and a suspect may still be moving. Revelen turns the casings on the ground into an actionable lead at the scene, at the front end of the workflow you already run.
Shooters & Firearms, On Scene
How many shooters, how many guns, in minutes.
Rapid Correlation
A lead in minutes, not days.
First-Hour Intelligence
Actionable while the scene is still live.
Real-Time Crime Linking
Connect shootings across jurisdictions, before the next one.
Officer & Community Impact
Faster solves. Safer streets.
One platform, built to reach a lead fast.
Revelen is not a single gadget. It is a platform with three parts that work together: the tool an officer carries, the software that makes the match, and the service that gets it running.
ShotOptix
The handheld unit an officer carries to the scene. It reads the casing where the evidence is, with no fixed install.
The Revelen app
Reconstructs the marks the firearm left on the casing and ranks the likely matches, on scene, in minutes.
Field Support
Deployment support: onboarding, training, policy design, and backlog scanning. Close cases faster without new headcount or a new workflow.
One subscription covers all of it. ShotOptix devices are included with the Revelen software, sized to how your agency deploys, not sold as separate hardware.
Powered by Microsoft. CJIS-compliant in the Microsoft Azure cloud, the security standard law enforcement requires.Scan a casing. Get a lead. Leave the scene knowing more.
CaptureHandheld ShotOptix · on-scene scan
Built for the cases that matter most.
The same scan works across the incidents agencies care about, from the highest-profile shootings to the guns that surface months later.
Clarity when it counts most
An officer-involved shooting draws immediate scrutiny. Revelen helps investigators build the ballistic picture at the scene, in minutes, so the investigation can move on facts from the first hour.
Connect a seized gun to open shootings
A firearm comes into custody from an arrest, a stop, or a search. Revelen matches it against the open shootings its casings are sitting in, giving investigators a lead in cases that had gone quiet.
Connect scenes before the gun surfaces
No firearm in hand yet, just casings from separate scenes. Revelen matches those recovered cartridge casings to each other, revealing that one gun connects incidents that looked unrelated, often the first sign of a serial shooter, and a chance to interrupt retaliation before the next shooting.
A clear answer for every role.
Solve more without hiring
More cases cleared without new headcount or a new workflow.
A lead while it's warm
The answer before leaving the scene.
Evidence untouched
Chain of custody stays intact. Field intelligence is not a replacement for forensic confirmation; independent BODE testing confirms scanning does not affect DNA profiling.
Built to support your lab
A real-time layer before formal confirmation. Your lab and systems stay in place; Revelen correlates images from other platforms, and every scan carries a full audit log.
In the field at every level of government.
Revelen is deployed from municipal departments to county sheriffs to state and federal agencies, with engagements underway internationally. It runs in real casework today.
Powered by Microsoft. Patented and patent-pending technology.
And it enhances the workflow you already run.
Nothing about evidence handling changes. The casing still goes to the lab, chain of custody intact.
What agencies ask first.
What is Revelen?
Revelen is a ballistic intelligence platform that turns a fired cartridge casing into an investigative lead at the scene in minutes. It has three parts: ShotOptix, the handheld tool an officer carries; the Revelen app, the software that reads the casing and ranks likely matches; and Field Support, the onboarding and training service.
How does Revelen work with the NIBIN program?
Revelen enhances the workflow you already run. On scene, it identifies how many shooters and firearms were involved and surfaces an early lead in minutes, before the casing follows its normal chain of custody to the lab. The forensic and NIBIN process is unchanged. Revelen works at the front end, in the first hour, while that process continues in parallel.
How fast is Revelen?
An officer scans a recovered cartridge casing on scene with the handheld ShotOptix device and gets an investigative lead in about 12 minutes, while the scene is still live and witnesses are present.
Does using Revelen change how evidence is handled?
No. Chain of custody stays intact and the casing follows its normal path to the lab. The scan adds a lead without touching the evidence path.
What infrastructure does an agency need to run Revelen?
None beyond the handheld device. There is no fixed scanning site to build, no dedicated staff to hire, and no lab system to replace. The scanner travels to the scene with the officer who recovers the casing.
