Tranquility AI teams up with Mount Aloysius College’s Criminology Program to offer AI investigative tools
Tranquility AI, an investigative technology provider, has announced a partnership with Mount Aloysius College’s Criminology Program. The course will be the first criminology program in the US to incorporate Tranquility AI’s analysis platform TimePilot into its curriculum.
The two organizations say the partnership marks a “significant milestone” in criminal justice education, bridging the gap between education and real-world investigative practice.
TimePilot allows users to work with complete evidence sets, including surveillance footage, case notes, transcripts, financial transactions, mobile phone interactions, and jail calls. This allows them to build timelines, evaluate reasoning, and document decisions, developing the critical thinking skills required for a career in the criminal justice system.
Tranquility AI has also announced an academic grant program, which will provide academic institutions with access to TimePilot for one year, allowing students to train using the same tools used by law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in the US.
“As the justice system continues to evolve, technology and artificial intelligence are no longer optional skills — they are essential,” explains Dr Joseph A Bobak IV, Professor of Criminology and Forensic Investigation and Chair of the Department of Justice, Law, and Society at Mount Aloysius College.
“Being the first criminology program in the country to collaborate with the TimePilot platform reflects our commitment to ensuring our curriculum remains aligned with the realities of modern criminal justice practice. This collaboration provides our students with hands-on experience using real-world analytical tools while reinforcing critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and investigative rigor. Our students are learning with the tools of today’s and tomorrow’s criminal justice system — not yesterday’s — and as a result, they are prepared to make an immediate impact in complex professional environments upon entering the field.”
The program is funded by a group of donors and administered by a non-profit organization.
“There are not enough police officers or prosecutors in the field today, and agencies need graduates who are ready to contribute on day one,” adds Jim Penrose, CEO of Tranquility AI. “Dr Bobak and Mount Aloysius College represent exactly the kind of forward-thinking educators we want using TimePilot. Preparing students with modern investigative tools ultimately strengthens the justice system as a whole.”
