Built for Public Safety

One Platform.
Every Mission.

Nucleus unifies analytics, operations, training, compliance, and intelligence into a single secure environment — purpose-built for law enforcement, fire, EMS, corrections, and campus security.

The Platform

What Is Nucleus?

Nucleus replaces the patchwork of disconnected tools agencies rely on today. It is a single, unified platform where every module shares the same database, the same user identity, and the same interface — so data flows seamlessly from the field to the chief's desk.

Unified Data Layer

Every module reads from and writes to the same secure database. No imports, no exports, no sync failures. An incident created in CAD is instantly visible in Analytics, Investigations, and Reporting.

Cloud-Native Architecture

Hosted on Microsoft Azure with enterprise-grade redundancy, automatic scaling, and geographic failover. Access from any device, any browser, anywhere with an internet connection.
