SAN FRANCISCO — January 2026 — Perplexity has announced Perplexity for Public Safety Organizations, a new program designed to give law enforcement and public safety agencies secure access to enterprise-grade artificial intelligence for high-stakes decision-making.

The initiative makes Perplexity the first frontier AI company to offer Enterprise Pro specifically tailored to law enforcement and public safety use. Through the program, qualifying agencies can access Perplexity Enterprise Pro free for 12 months, with up to 200 seats per agency, and discounted pricing available for larger deployments.

“Law enforcement runs on decisions,” the company said, noting that officers regularly operate in fast-moving, complex environments where accuracy and accountability are critical. Millions of people, Perplexity added, are affected by those decisions every day.

Designed for Real-World Policing Environments

Perplexity Enterprise Pro is built to support public safety personnel wherever they work, including patrol cars, crime scenes, courtrooms, and command centers. The platform offers full mobile functionality, including voice input and image uploads, enabling officers to access information quickly in the field.

Every response generated by Perplexity includes clear source citations, eliminating black-box answers and supporting transparency in investigative and administrative work. Agencies also gain access to multiple leading AI models, allowing teams to select the most appropriate model for specific tasks.

Privacy and Control by Default

Privacy is a central pillar of the offering. Perplexity said it does not train AI models on customer data, ensuring that sensitive investigations, personnel matters, and tactical discussions remain private. Administrators maintain control over what information is shared across teams and departments.

The company emphasized that this approach is critical for agencies handling confidential material and legally sensitive information.

Use Cases Across Investigations and Community Engagement

With these safeguards in place, public safety agencies can use Perplexity to:

• Summarize public reporting, social media discussions, and news coverage across multiple languages

• Upload scene photos and diagrams for AI-generated summaries

• Analyze body camera transcripts by theme, chronology, or policy considerations

• Convert raw investigator notes into structured, comprehensive reports

• Translate witness statements and prepare community outreach materials

Getting Started

Perplexity said the new program reflects its broader goal of supporting consequential decision-making with accurate, secure AI. Agencies interested in participating can apply through the Perplexity for Public Safety Organizations program.

“Good decisions protect people,” the company said. “When the people keeping our communities safe have access to secure, accurate AI, everyone benefits.”
