What Abel Police does

Abel takes police body camera footage and turns it into completed police reports. Currently American patrol officers spend one third of their shift writing reports - turning that to zero would increase the effective police force by 50%, radically changing US cities.

Automating police paperwork

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We take police body camera footage and automatically generate complete police reports from it. The product processes raw video and extracts relevant information to fill out paperwork officers currently spend hours on by hand.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based there now and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is and where we can access government agencies and tech talent needed to build and deploy this product.
