Code Four Redact

Code Four Redact finds the faces, plates, screens, spoken identifiers, and document PII in your evidence, shows a reviewer exactly what it plans to cover, and only then burns the redaction in permanently.

Natural-language redaction

Say what to protect. Not where it is.

"Blur every bystander face but keep officers visible" is a complete instruction. Code Four compiles the request into a detection policy, finds the subjects across the whole file, and follows each one as they move, turn away, leave frame, and come back.

Open-vocabulary targets, not a fixed list of classes you have to pick from.
Dedicated lanes for the high-stakes cases: faces, license plates, and screens.
Decisions are made once per subject, so a blur never flickers on and off between frames.
Audio redaction

The identifiers people say out loud, too.

A released recording leaks just as much through audio as through video. Redact transcribes the recording, locates spoken identifiers as precise spans, and either bleeps them or mutes them depending on how long they are.

Short identifiers such as dates of birth, phone numbers, and badge numbers are bleeped.
Longer passages such as names in conversation and addresses are muted.
Span edges snap to measured silence, so a redaction never clips the words on either side.

Document redaction

Reports and PDFs in the same queue.

Records requests rarely arrive as video alone. Redact reads each page, proposes boxes over names, dates of birth, addresses, identifiers, signatures, and photos, and grounds every box against the words in the document's own text layer.

Boxes cover the exact identifier rather than the whole line around it.
Low-confidence items are flagged in amber and cannot slip through unreviewed.
Burn-in deletes the underlying text and pixels, so the released file cannot be un-redacted.

Review and release

Nothing is released until a person approves it.

Redaction is permanent, so the review step is the product. Every job waits in a queue with its detections listed, its uncertain items flagged, and a named reviewer attached before anything can be exported.

The pipeline deliberately over-detects and runs a second pass to catch anything it missed.
Reviewers add, remove, resize, and draw redactions by hand before approving.
Originals are never modified, and every approval and export is written to the audit trail.

Use cases

Where Code Four Redact fits in the law enforcement workflow.

Agencies evaluate software by the jobs it helps them complete. These are the operational workflows this product supports.

Public records and FOIA release

Turn a records request into a releasable copy by redacting bystander faces, minors, plates, and screens across an entire video instead of drawing boxes frame by frame.

Bystander and victim protection

Protect uninvolved people, victims, witnesses, and juveniles while leaving the evidentiary content of the footage intact.

Audio and document PII

Mute or bleep spoken identifiers in recorded audio and cover names, addresses, signatures, and identifiers in PDFs and reports.

Evidence sharing and discovery

Produce a redacted copy for prosecutors, outside agencies, media, or public release while the original evidence file stays untouched.

Redact FAQ

Common questions from agencies.

What is AI redaction software?

AI redaction software finds sensitive content in evidence and covers it so a copy can be released. Code Four Redact detects faces, license plates, screens, spoken identifiers, and document PII, proposes the redactions, and waits for a reviewer to approve them before anything is applied.

Can I describe what to redact instead of drawing boxes?

Yes. Redact takes a plain-English request such as "blur every bystander's face but keep officers visible" and compiles it into a detection policy. A reviewer can still add, remove, resize, or draw redactions by hand on the timeline before export.

Is the redaction reversible?

No. Review happens first, then the apply pass permanently burns the redaction into a new output file and deletes the underlying pixels. Your original evidence file is never modified, so the unredacted source stays intact for the case.

Does Redact handle audio and documents, or only video?

All three. Video redaction covers faces, plates, screens, and open-vocabulary targets; audio redaction mutes or bleeps spoken identifiers; document redaction covers names, addresses, signatures, and identifiers in PDFs and DOCX files.

What happens if the AI misses something?

The pipeline deliberately over-detects, runs a second gap-fill pass to catch anything not already covered, and flags low-confidence items in amber for the reviewer. A missed face is a privacy failure; an extra blur is something the reviewer can remove in one click.

AI redaction software for law enforcement

Redaction for video, audio, and documents.

Code Four Redact helps records staff turn a public records request into a releasable copy, protecting bystanders, victims, minors, plates, screens, and PII without drawing boxes frame by frame.

Plain-English requests

Describe what has to be protected — bystander faces, minors, plates, screens, addresses — and let the system work out where those things are in the file.

Video, audio, and documents

Redact faces, plates, and screens in footage, mute or bleep spoken identifiers in recordings, and cover names, addresses, and signatures in PDFs.

Reviewer approval

Every proposed redaction is reviewable, adjustable, and reversible right up until the moment a person approves the export.

Irreversible export

The apply pass burns the redaction into a new file and removes the underlying pixels and text, while the original evidence stays untouched.

For agencies searching for video redaction software, FOIA redaction tools, body-camera face and license-plate redaction, or document and audio PII redaction, Redact is the release layer connected to Code Four's broader report and investigation workflow.
