TrapWire Inc.

Since 2013, TrapWire has been a trusted partner for Fusion Centers across the country, and we are a proud sponsor of the National Fusion Center Association’s annual conference next week in DC. Stop by Booth 221 for live demos of TrapWire Polaris (our flagship threat detection system); TrapWire Helios (a critical mass warning and notification system for DoD); and our newest offering, TrapWire Sentry (a state-of-the-art Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management system, currently being deployed to protect thousands of schools and public spaces).

At TrapWire, our focus is “left of boom.” We accomplish this by offering an integrated threat monitoring and alerting platform for the mission-focused Fusion Center analyst which provides Real-Time intel dashboards, Cross-Agency info sharing, and Custom Threat Feeds. TrapWire Polaris has been specifically engineered for Fusion Centers, and built for today’s challenging threat environment.

On National “See Something Say Something” Day, TrapWire would like to express our appreciation to our clients in Law Enforcement, Public Safety, Force Protection, and School Safety who we’ve been supporting for more than 15 years now. We built and maintain the iWatchTexas suspicious activity reporting system for Texas DPS, and it mirrors similar systems we’ve deployed for a wide variety of public and private sector clients across the country. By combining AI, proprietary algorithms, and subject matter experts, these TrapWire systems continue to play a crucial role in protecting our clients’ personnel and facilities, and have been consistently lauded as “best of” threat management tools. We are honored by this recognition and work tirelessly to continue our efforts to protect the homeland.

iWatchTexas - Public Service Announcement Together we are building a safer community. If you see something, do something. Download the iWatchTexas app now on your mobile device.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is reminding Texans this week of the iWatchTexas program—a critical resource the public can use to report suspicious activity or behavior in their schools and communities—ahead of National “If You See Something, Say Something” Awareness Day on Sept. 25.

“Our state is safer when we all do our part to speak up if we see something strange or suspicious—and that includes reporting suspicious behavior or activity in and around schools and out in the community,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “Through the iWatchTexas program, Texans can quickly and easily communicate with law enforcement officers and help protect our state.”

The iWatchTexas program allows Texans to report any suspicious activities or behaviors that may indicate criminal, terroristic or school safety-related threats.

It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our beloved Founder and Chairman, Mr. Richard Hollis Helms. Hollis was at home resting comfortably, surrounded by family at the time of his passing on May 13th, 2024. For the past 20 years, Hollis poured his heart into TrapWire and its people. His passion and vision set the course for who we are and where we are going as a company. Hollis led an impactful, service-focused life, including 30 years of work at the Central Intelligence Agency. Following his retirement from the CIA, he went on to found multiple successful companies in support of US national security interests. To fully understand the inspiration Hollis was for many people, we suggest you read his full obituary here: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/richard-helms-obituary?id=55149585. TrapWire will continue on and ever forward as we continue to execute his vision.
