Strengthening Our Digital Capability: Partnership with Blue Lights Digital
In 2025, Locate International was proud to formalise support from Blue Lights Digital, whose generosity has significantly strengthened our investigative capability.
Through this partnership, Blue Lights Digital has provided pro bono access to specialist technology, enabling us to deepen the level of analysis we can conduct on behalf of families.
Expanding Analytical Insight
Access to advanced digital tools allows our teams to:
Conduct more detailed case analysis
Strengthen evidential review
Enhance open-source and digital research
Improve the quality and depth of investigative outputs
For families, this means more robust, structured, and technically informed case review - delivered without cost to them.
The support ensures our volunteer investigators are equipped with professional-grade resources typically reserved for statutory agencies and private sector specialists.
Investing in Volunteer Development
In addition to technology access, Blue Lights Digital has generously donated places on their best-in-class training courses for all Locate volunteers.
This investment in training:
Raises professional standards
Strengthens digital investigative skills
Ensures consistent, ethical practice
Supports continuous professional development across our teams
As a volunteer-led organisation, access to high-quality training is transformative. It enables us to grow capability without increasing financial burden.
Enabling Greater Impact
This partnership demonstrates how collaboration with specialist organisations can meaningfully enhance independent investigative work.
By combining volunteer expertise with professional-grade technology and training, we are able to deliver deeper analysis, stronger case preparation, and improved support for families affected by cases involving missing and unidentified people.
We are grateful to Blue Lights Digital for their generosity and for recognising the value of our mission.
