What Code Four does

Code Four slashes the administrative burden on law enforcement through AI-driven automation. Officers spend up to a third of their shifts manually transcribing body camera footage, creating inaccuracies, reducing transparency, and cutting into frontline duties. We're here to eliminate these inefficiencies by integrating with body cameras, record management systems, and digital evidence management systems - acting as a software layer for data processing. We free the most overworked and underappreciated people in the world: police officers.

We build AI software that automates manual police admin by integrating directly with body cameras, record management, and evidence systems. Our tool transcribes and organizes footage to reduce errors and save officers hours each shift.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

San Francisco is where our team and network are. It's also the hub for AI, GovTech, and software talent we need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Code Four YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Code Four's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Code Four would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
