AUSTIN, Texas, July 29, 2026 — LEO Technologies announces the launch of Verus Vision AI, an Agentic AI Video Intelligence solution purpose-built for corrections that transforms existing correctional camera infrastructure into an active layer of operational intelligence. Built on years of experience supporting correctional agencies across the United States, Verus Vision AI enables facilities to identify developing risks earlier, automate labor-intensive operational tasks, strengthen investigations, and improve institutional safety using the camera systems they already own.Verus Voice AI uses cutting edge agentic AI technology to compile advanced voice biometrics and quickly recognize PIN abuse, identity fraud and unauthorized communications across large volumes of inmate call data. Verus Voice AI includes built-in safeguards to ensure findings are reviewed by qualified personnel before action is taken, surfacing alerts to investigators and facility staff as events occur and preserving human oversight and accountability throughout the system.
Correctional institutions today operate in an environment far different than the one envisioned two decades ago. Historic staffing shortages, increasingly sophisticated criminal organizations, rising behavioral health challenges, and greater expectations for safety and accountability require correctional leaders to do more with fewer resources. As agencies continue strengthening compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) while addressing broader operational challenges, technology must do more than document incidents after they occur, it must help prevent them.
Verus Vision AI was developed specifically to meet that need. Built on years of operational experience serving correctional agencies, the solution reflects LEO Technologies’ commitment to developing practical artificial intelligence driven technology that addresses the industry’s most pressing operational challenges while preserving the critical role of correctional professionals.
Rather than functioning as a traditional video surveillance system that simply records events for later review, Verus Vision AI continuously analyzes live video streams, evaluates behavior, movement, and environmental conditions, and provides correctional professionals with real-time operational decision support. By transforming passive cameras into an active operational resource, the platform helps agencies recognize developing threats sooner, preserve objective evidence, automate routine operational tasks, and maximize the effectiveness of limited staff.
Among its capabilities, Verus Vision AI automates one of the most labor-intensive responsibilities inside a correctional facility: the inmate count. The solution continuously verifies inmate accountability, initiates immediate searches when discrepancies occur, and provides correctional staff with greater confidence while significantly reducing the time traditionally devoted to manual counting procedures.
Beyond operational automation, Verus Vision AI proactively identifies inmate crowd formation, assaults, falls, officer distress, unauthorized movement, perimeter activity, and other emerging security concerns across a facility. The platform also develops long-term behavioral intelligence through Social Network Analysis, helping correctional leaders to better understand inmate relationships, group dynamics, recurring patterns, and evolving institutional risks over time.
Recognizing the critical importance of human judgment, Verus Vision AI incorporates built-in safeguards that ensure alerts and recommendations are reviewed by qualified correctional professionals before action is taken. Artificial intelligence enhances operational awareness while preserving human oversight, accountability, and decision-making.
Verus Vision AI directly supports one of corrections’ most enduring public safety missions: the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). By continuously analyzing live video for observable behaviors associated with elevated risk, the platform helps correctional professionals identify developing situations earlier, preserve objective evidence, strengthen investigations, and improve institutional accountability. Rather than relying solely on retrospective video review after an incident occurs, agencies gain the ability to intervene sooner and better protect incarcerated individuals, correctional professionals, and the integrity of the investigative process.
“Corrections has reached a pivotal moment,” said Elliott Broidy, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LEO Technologies. “Agencies are being asked to improve safety, strengthen accountability, and operate more efficiently despite unprecedented staffing challenges. Verus Vision AI reflects our commitment to developing technologies that solve the real operational problems facing corrections today. This is more than a product launch, it represents another step toward a future where artificial intelligence serves as a force multiplier for correctional professionals, helping create safer institutions and ultimately safer communities.”
“Correctional professionals have always relied on cameras to tell them what happened,” said Steven Harpe, Chief Product and Technology Officer at LEO Technologies. “Verus Vision AI fundamentally changes that relationship. By transforming existing camera infrastructure into an active layer of operational intelligence, agencies can recognize developing threats sooner, automate routine operational tasks such as inmate counts, and allow correctional professionals to spend more time protecting people rather than reviewing video.”
“Agentic AI Video Intelligence represents the next evolution of correctional technology,” said Jeremy Turner, Chief AI & Data Officer at LEO Technologies. “Traditional surveillance systems capture evidence after an event. Verus Vision AI continuously analyzes operational conditions, identifies developing risks, and provides correctional professionals with timely information that supports better decisions while preserving human judgment. It is helping correctional agencies move from documenting incidents to preventing them.”
Verus Vision AI is designed as part of the broader Verus Platform, enabling agencies to integrate video intelligence with communications intelligence, investigative information, voice biometrics, and other operational systems as mission requirements evolve. Together, these capabilities provide correctional leaders with a more complete understanding of institutional operations while supporting safer facilities, stronger investigations, and more informed operational decision-making.
The introduction of Verus Vision AI represents another milestone in LEO Technologies’ mission to modernize corrections through purpose-built artificial intelligence technology. As correctional agencies continue evolving toward intelligence-led operations, the Verus Platform delivers an integrated ecosystem of communications intelligence, video intelligence, voice biometrics, and operational decision support designed exclusively for corrections. Together, these capabilities help agencies strengthen institutional safety, improve operational efficiency, and better protect correctional professionals, incarcerated individuals, and the public.
