Veritone Announces Multi-Year Contract with California Highway Patrol to Accelerate Evidence Redaction and Public Records Fulfillment

With Veritone Redact, the California Highway Patrol can redact video, audio and image-based evidence, reducing time spent on evidence preparation and public record requests.

Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leader in building enterprise AI and data solutions, today announced a new contract with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), awarded in partnership with MissionRT, a public safety technology company that delivers integrated, end-to-end solutions across evidence and public records ecosystems. Under the agreement, the CHP will deploy Veritone Redact, built on the aiWARE™ platform, to automate the redaction of sensitive information within digital evidence, significantly accelerating public records processing while protecting citizen privacy.

As the largest state police agency in the United States, the CHP employs nearly 11,000 personnel whose mission is to protect nearly 40 million California residents. Operating in one of the nation's most complex environments, the agency manages a large and continually growing volume of digital evidence, including body-worn camera video, dash camera footage and 911 audio.

Prior to the release of digital evidence for public records requests as required by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), or to respond to court support or media inquiries, the CHP must remove personally identifiable information (PII) from such evidence, including faces, license plates, medical information and driver's license numbers. With Veritone Redact - an intelligent AI-powered solution that automates the redaction of sensitive information within audio, video and image-based evidence - the CHP can now automate this time-intensive process across multiple media types within a single, secure workflow. For state highway patrol organizations that manage thousands of traffic stops and crashes annually, this technology reduces evidence preparation time from hours to minutes, helping to lower the risk of privacy violations and ensuring consistent, accurate redactions.

"Public safety agencies don't operate in silos - they need connected ecosystems where evidence, records, video and communications work together," said Richard Coleman II, CEO and Founder of MissionRT. "Through our open, integrated public safety platform, we help agencies modernize those end-to-end workflows. Veritone Redact is a key capability within that ecosystem, automating one of the most time-consuming steps in evidence and public records processing while supporting the highest standards of privacy, accuracy and compliance."

"The California Highway Patrol operates in one of the most complex and demanding environments in the country, managing an immense volume of digital evidence daily," said Ryan Steelberg, CEO of Veritone. "We are incredibly proud to partner with them to provide our AI-powered redaction solutions. By automating these critical workflows, we are empowering CHP personnel to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on their core mission of ensuring the safety, service and security of California's citizens."

Procured and deployed in partnership with MissionRT, a public safety company that integrates cutting-edge solutions across CAD/RMS, digital evidence, video, sensors and threat detection, this initiative helps CHP modernize its broader evidence and public records ecosystem. By connecting Veritone Redact with CHP's existing and future systems, Mission RT helps ensure that AI-powered redaction operates within a unified, secure workflow rather than as a standalone tool.
