Alumni Ventures Invests in Truleo to Revolutionize Police Body Camera Analytics
Truelo CEO Anthony Tassone Recently Discussed His Company on AV’s Tech Optimist Podcast
Alumni Ventures (AV), one of the world’s most active venture capital firms, is a proud investor in Truleo. The company offers an AI-driven platform that uses body camera footage to improve law enforcement practices, automatically creating highlight reels that support officer training and showcase exemplary conduct.
The vast majority of police body camera footage goes unreviewed. This oversight means that many instances of police professionalism, critical de-escalations, and positive community interactions are never recognized or utilized for training and improvement.
Truleo, co-founded by CEO Anthony Tassone and CTO Tejas Shastry, aims to change this narrative by leveraging advanced natural language processing (NLP) to transcribe and analyze body camera footage, highlighting quality police work and providing actionable insights. By analyzing video content, Truleo helps police departments reinforce professionalism, provides valuable coaching, and assists in the development of best practices.

“Our mission is to bring transparency and recognition to the important work of police officers,” said Tassone, who discussed his company on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “With the support of firms like Alumni Ventures, we’re excited to scale our impact and help communities see the positive contributions of their local law enforcement.”
“Our mission is to bring transparency and recognition to the important work of police officers.”
Truleo has already launched successful pilot programs in several police departments across the country. These pilot programs have demonstrated the effectiveness of Truleo’s technology in enhancing officer recognition and improving training protocols.
“Anthony, Tejas, and their team at Truleo are addressing a critical gap in how we use body camera data and unlocking untapped value for police departments,” said AV Founder and CEO Mike Collins, who hosted the conversation with Tassone on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “Their innovative approach not only improves police accountability, but also fosters a culture of recognition and professionalism.”
Truleo‘s patented Tru Data engine powers law enforcement workflows using body-worn camera analytics. Every day, officers risk everything to deliver excellent service and public safety. Truleo highlights their best moments and gives officers credit for good work. Truleo is dedicated to building and delivering unbiased and ethical products that advance the mission of professional law enforcement. Truleo does not sell body cameras and is manufacturer agnostic, providing an independent, conflict-free choice for government purchasing seeking police performance and audit software. The Truleo Tru Data engine saves time and accurately recognizes professionalism and excellence through privacy-protected analysis of body-worn camera data. We are passionate partners in public safety and automatically surface de-escalation attempts, high composure, and high professionalism in everyday police interactions.
