Frequently asked questions
How does licensing work?
Each plan is a flat annual department license that covers up to the stated number of sworn officers, payable by purchase order or invoice. There is no per-officer monthly billing; the per-officer figures shown are simply the license divided across a full roster.
Does CodeBlu count toward POST in-service training hours?
De-escalation and crisis-intervention training are non-perishable topics that can count toward the discretionary 12 hours of the Rule 28 annual 24, and this training addresses the de-escalation requirement in C.R.S. 24-31-315. It is not perishable-skills credit, and CodeBlu does not submit to POST: the chief or sheriff, through the training officer, owns the credit decision and the POST entry. CodeBlu provides the performance tracking and transcripts to support that record and any credit application. Colorado's Rule 28 and C.R.S. 24-31-315 are the worked example; your state's POST-equivalent sets the analogous requirement, and your chief owns the credit decision.
What training methodology is CodeBlu based on?
CodeBlu is built on published research from the Force Science Institute and the broader public literature on crisis intervention and de-escalation training. The CodeBlu Method, including the C1-C8 competency framework and the Behavioral Read, is CodeBlu's own framework, developed specifically for AI-delivered voice practice.
Does the Force Science Institute or any other organization certify or endorse CodeBlu?
No. We build on established public research with appropriate attribution. No outside organization formally partners with, certifies, or endorses CodeBlu at this time. Updates will be posted here if that status changes.
Can we use our own scenarios?
Every plan includes the full scenario library. Custom scenario development is included starting at the Agency plan.
How does the pilot work?
The Department Pilot runs 30 days for up to 10 officers with the full scenario library, and no card is required. Start one from any plan, or contact us about a larger evaluation.
What is required for CJIS compliance?
CodeBlu does not process criminal justice information: training scenarios are fictional, and session transcripts and officer training records are not CJI. The FBI CJIS Security Policy's requirements therefore do not attach to the current product. No central body certifies vendors against the policy; compliance is validated through state CSA and agency agreements. If future capabilities involve agency records, we will address CJIS Security Policy alignment then. Request a quote to discuss your specific requirements.
Where is data stored?
Session data is stored in US-based Supabase infrastructure. Agency administrators control retention and export.
