About LawCite
AI-powered legal research for law enforcement officers
Our Mission
LawCite was built by a peace officer for peace officers. After 11 years in law enforcement working patrol, detective investigations, and undercover operations, I recognized a critical gap: officers at every level need quick, accurate access to case law to make informed decisions.
LawCite empowers law enforcement investigators across all roles. From patrol officers making field decisions to detectives building complex cases and undercover officers navigating sensitive operations, this tool is designed for officers who focus on real police work: finding violent criminals, investigating felony crime, and building solid cases, not pushing paper.
LawCite delivers comprehensive legal research with AI-powered analysis, helping officers understand Fourth Amendment law, search and seizure standards, and state-specific criminal statutes. Whether you're on the street or in the detective bureau, LawCite provides the legal foundation you need to make confident, informed decisions on the job.
