‘Greatest and most comfortable encounter I’ve had with a police officer.’

Built to meet compliance without burying your team.
Designed to capture 10x more actionable data with community input.
New laws are raising the bar.
We’re here to help you clear it.
States across the U.S. are passing laws that require early intervention & post-contact feedback tools.
We’re the only community-fueled, grant-backed platform built to meet these standards.
Compliance Deadline → January 1, 2025
Grant Funding → State Funding, $3M+ available
Utah now requires every law enforcement agency to implement an early intervention system that tracks officer performance by 2025. With over $3M in grants available, there’s funding on the table.
We’re flagging this for you because Know Your Force is fully aligned with SB124. Our platform was built in Utah and meets the mandate’s core requirements:
- Agencies must use a system that tracks officer performance and flags potential concerns.
- It needs to include behavior thresholds, documentation, and internal review tools.
- Agencies must be able to review trends and take action when needed.
We’re built to support all of this, right out of the box.
If your agency is already using a system, we’ve made it easy to transition without starting from scratch.
Compliance Deadline → October 1, 2024
Grant Funding → State Funding, Federal & State Funding Available
Maryland SB7 is the first law in the U.S. to require agencies to formally collect and share unsolicited positive feedback from the public about their officers. It’s a shift toward transparency that recognizes the value of everyday interactions and the role they play in building public trust.
Here’s what it means:
- Agencies must log and retain unsolicited praise or commendations from the community.
- These records must be accessible under the Maryland Public Information Act.
- The law aims to support a more complete view of officer performance—not just when things go wrong, but when they go right.
Know Your Force is already equipped to help, making it easy to track, organize, and report positive feedback with clarity and care.

What It Looks Like
In The Field.
Carthage, Missouri PD
Carthage PD knew they needed to improve trust with their community, but their first attempt with another feedback tool didn’t stick.
The rollout was clunky, the data was messy, the officers didn’t see the point, and it was too expensive - so they switched to KYF.
One decision helped them protect careers, boost morale, and build trust — all at once.
