VRFY Solutions raises 200,000 to transform policing with secure AI transcription that cuts admin time by 80%

"The funding will accelerate adoption of the company's secure AI transcription solution within UK police forces and lay the groundwork for expansion into other critical sectors, including healthcare and the NHS. VRFY's technology addresses a growing crisis in UK policing - the combination of rising workloads, officer shortages, and the administrative burden created by legacy transcription processes. The platform can cut police transcription and report-writing time by more than 80%, freeing officers from hours of manual paperwork and allowing them to return to active duty faster."

"Founded by Jeff Meyers and Mike Willford, who bring more than six decades of combined law enforcement experience, VRFY was created to solve the very problems they faced daily in the force. Meyers explained: "Policing is facing a perfect storm of rising workloads, officer shortages, and increasing demands for speed and accuracy. We've built a secure AI solution with end-to-end encryption and strict access controls that doesn't just save time. It protects officers' wellbeing and improves the quality and speed of justice - ultimately helping to improve public safety.""

VRFY Solutions Group UK secured £200,000 in pre-seed investment led by Fuel Ventures to accelerate adoption of a secure AI transcription platform within UK police forces and prepare expansion into healthcare and the NHS. The technology addresses rising workloads, officer shortages, and administrative burdens from legacy transcription processes. The platform can cut transcription and report-writing time by more than 80% and reduce transcription costs by up to 70%, effectively creating extra policing hours without additional budgets. VRFY was founded by Jeff Meyers and Mike Willford, who bring over six decades of law enforcement experience. The solution includes end-to-end encryption and strict access controls, and it reduces repeated exposure to distressing material that contributes to PTSD-related absences among administrative staff.
