Peregrine

Operation Golden Eagle

Operation Golden Eagle is to re-secure the protection of the rights of American citizens, given by the US Constitution. It is beginning with Peregrine in Tampa.

It is lawful public action: showing up, signing up, and speaking during public comment.

What Peregrine is

On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Tampa City Council approved a $595,000 police data platform called Peregrine. It is software that pulls a police department's separate data systems into one place you can search. (City Clerk, proposed minutes, Oct. 15, 2026) (City summary sheet, Item 89) Read more in the contract breakdown.

An AI system built to make profiles of people

Here is what Peregrine is built and sold to do, in the company's own words and the city's contract. Every line links to its source.

• It comes with AI. Tampa is buying "Peregrine Pro," which the order form describes as the Peregrine platform "including Peregrine Assistant." The contract's Assistant Addendum calls it the "AI Assistant." Source: Resolution 2026-892 with the attached order form, p. 3; Resolution 2026-892 with the attached order form, p. 22.
• It merges records into one profile per person. Peregrine's proposal to the Tampa Police Department says its "proprietary entity resolution engine" "automatically identifies and merges duplicate person records across disparate sources into consolidated profiles." Source: Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 24.
• The company calls them dossiers. Peregrine's law enforcement page says it "creates unified person dossiers, resolves duplicate identities, and maps networks across every system your agency runs." Its use cases page offers "comprehensive individual profiles using existing data from across approved systems." Source: Peregrine, Law enforcement; Peregrine, Use cases.
• It links people, places and things. The proposal says data is "modeled into a dynamic ontology" of entities such as "persons, vehicles, locations," "automatically linking information across different data sources." It uses "machine-driven methods" and "logic that links people, places, events, and more." Source: Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 36; Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 24.
• It maps networks. The proposal lists "network analysis tools." For investigations it offers to "link prior incidents involving the same suspects, locations, vehicles, and known offender networks." Source: Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 24; Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 30.
• It keeps watching. Peregrine says the platform "continuously monitors incoming data and delivers relevant context at the right time to the right people." Source: Peregrine, Foundation.
• What Tampa connects first. The order form lists Versaterm dispatch (CAD) and records (RMS), "Axon + Evidence.com" body camera video, "Infobase - TPD employee data," and a reserved slot for one more source of similar size. Source: Resolution 2026-892 with the attached order form, p. 4.
• It can take in much more. The proposal says Peregrine "can optionally incorporate HR/timesheet data, ALPRs, Evidence.com, Power BI/GIS, and other plans and policies." It says the platform "integrates existing data from 800+ source types," and names systems it has connected at other agencies, including Flock, Vigilant and Genetec. Source: Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 23; Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 36.
• Press description. Forbes called it "essentially a super-powered Google for police data." Forbes wrote: "Enter a name or address into its web-based app, and Peregrine quickly scans court records, arrest reports, police interviews, body cam footage transcripts" for a match. Source: Forbes, Aug. 13, 2024.

How the profiles can be used

These are uses Peregrine markets or offers. They describe what the system is built to do.

• One search across systems. The proposal offers "single-query access across CAD, RMS, and BWC in a unified investigative workspace." Source: Peregrine's proposal to TPD, Item 89 backup, PDF p. 30.
• Flags before an officer arrives. Peregrine says officers get "critical context before arrival, including prior incidents, subject history, and cross-agency flags." It lists "Safety and past history flags" and "Pre-call intel." Source: Peregrine, Law enforcement.
• Plain-language questions to the AI. Peregrine says: "Ask anything in plain language, and Assistant will analyze your full data environment: logged events, records, patterns, history." Source: Peregrine AI.
• Matching evidence to people. Peregrine says "A phone number in a warrant return or a vehicle in body camera footage gets matched against your full picture of people, places, vehicles, and relationships." Its AI "converts speech to text, translates languages," and makes "Call detail records, social media warrant returns, financial documents, multilingual audio and video" searchable. Source: Peregrine, Assistant, Apr. 2, 2026; Peregrine, AI for investigations.
• It covers officers too. The order form connects TPD employee data. Peregrine's law enforcement page lists "Officer wellness dashboards." Forbes reported that Peregrine "can also draw up graphs on police behavior and keep tabs on officers' use of force."
