How Investigators Connect Organized Retail Crime Networks Through Shared Data
Organized retail crime is rarely isolated. Learn how investigators use shared data to connect activity across jurisdictions and expose coordinated ORC networks.
Explore >Secure Cross-Agency Identifier Matching with PLX Connect
PLX Connect helps investigators uncover shared targets across jurisdictions through controlled, encrypted identifier matching, real-time notifications, and secure coordination with partner agencies, without exposing sensitive case details.
How PLX Connect Works
PLX Connect enables investigators to determine whether a communication identifier exists within another agency’s active casework, supporting faster coordination and safer cross-agency coordination, without exposing sensitive case data.
Unified Cross-Agency Identifier Search
PLX Connect allows investigators to search across their own PLX environment or connected partner agencies using phone numbers, emails, social media identifiers, IP addresses, IMEIs, and more. Communication IDs can be entered in batch format to support large-scale deconfliction in a single action.
Agency-Controlled Connections
Each connection is approved one-to-one through mutual validation, ensuring your agency maintains full control over who can query your system. System administrators determine which partner agencies you connect with, and connections can be removed or denied at any time.
Zero Exposure of Case Data
Only limited match metadata is shared when overlap is found, including case name, identifier type, matched agency, and investigator contact information. No investigative notes, documents, or sensitive case details are ever exposed through PLX Connect.
