How agencies use Lantern to close cases, win at trial, and bring clarity to the hardest investigations.

Federal law enforcement
Federal bureau · Counterterrorism division

Mapped a Hezbollah financing network across 4 countries.

A federal counterterrorism team used Lantern to fuse Meta returns, encrypted messenger productions, hawala remittance records, and trade-based money laundering exhibits into one case case — surfacing facilitators, money movers, and front companies tied to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

"What used to take a team of analysts months — pulling threads across financial returns, social media, and intercepts — Lantern surfaces in days, with every claim cited back to the source exhibit."

— Supervisory Special Agent, Counterterrorism Division
State & local
Major-city PD · Gang & Intelligence Bureau

Dismantled a borough-wide gang conflict driving a shooting wave.

A major-city police department used Lantern across its gang and counterterrorism units to fuse years of Meta returns, CDRs, ShotSpotter alerts, and confidential informant debriefs — tying retaliatory shootings to specific crews, identifying shooters, and surfacing terror-adjacent threats to public events in the city.

"We can finally see the whole conflict on one screen — who's beefing with who, who's pulling triggers, and where the next retaliation is most likely. That changes how we deploy."

Reviewed 1.8M discovery pages for trial in under two weeks.

ADAs used Lantern to summarize, search, and generate exhibits across a massive multi-defendant discovery set — with citations to source page on every claim, fully defensible in court.

"Every summary Lantern produces is cited back to the page. That's non-negotiable for us — and it's why we trust it for trial prep."
