Incident Reporting & Documentation Software
Secure, reliable, and compliant reporting tools designed to capture critical details, protect your organization, and streamline accountability.
About Us
In moments of danger, the line between safety and survival is often drawn in seconds. Yet, long after the threat has passed, those who acted in self-defense are often left facing another battle—explaining and justifying their actions in the eyes of the law or public opinion. We exist to change that. Our company was founded on the belief that everyone—whether a civilian protecting their family or an officer protecting their community—deserves the right to self-defense without the fear of being misrepresented afterward. That’s why we build powerful SaaS tools designed to document, protect, and verify those critical moments with transparency and integrity. By combining technology with accountability, we reduce uncertainty, minimize anxiety, and empower people to act when it matters most. Our vision is simple: a world where the right to self-defense is honored, the truth is always protected, and safer communities can thrive on trust and justice. Because defending yourself shouldn’t mean defending your actions alone.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide SaaS solutions that document and protect actions taken in self-defense. We exist to uphold the right of individuals—whether law enforcement officers or civilians—to defend themselves and others from harm in any circumstance. When the use of force is necessary for safety, we are committed to delivering tools that offer security, reduce uncertainty, and ease the burden of justifying those actions against potential litigation.

Behind the Design
Our story begins with experience. Our founder is a retired Special Agent from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation with over 40 years dedicated to investigating use-of-force cases. Throughout his career, he saw firsthand the complexity, scrutiny, and legal challenges that follow when force is used—whether by law enforcement officers or civilians protecting themselves.
That experience revealed a critical gap: individuals needed a reliable, accessible way to document the truth of their actions and perceptions in moments of self-defense. Without it, even justified actions could be misinterpreted, leaving people vulnerable to costly litigation or reputational damage.
From this need, our software was born.
We designed our solution to give law enforcement, civilians, and their attorneys the ability to quickly and effectively document crucial details that support their defense. By combining decades of investigative expertise with modern technology, we ensure that the right to self-defense is not only protected in the moment—but also preserved long after.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every individual has the confidence to protect themselves and others—knowing their actions can be transparently and fairly documented. By combining technology with justice, we strive to build trust, reduce conflict, and create safer communities where accountability and the right of self-defense coexist seamlessly.
