Identify schools from imagery when a badge is the only lead

Why this capability matters

When identification is delayed, safeguarding is delayed

In many investigations, the earliest visual indicators are limited, partial, or unclear. School badges and uniform insignia frequently appear in imagery long before a victim, location, or context is known.

When identification relies on manual searching or personal knowledge, valuable time is lost at the very point speed matters most.

How S21 School Badge Lookup works

Investigators often have only a partial badge, crest, or uniform detail to work with.

S21 School Badge Lookup is a standalone, offline investigative tool designed specifically to identify schools from imagery using whatever information is available — including partial visual descriptions, regions, colours, symbols, or known text.

Investigators can search by:

  • School name or partial name

  • Region or country

  • Visual characteristics (e.g. colours, animals, symbols, shapes, wording)

The system returns likely matches in seconds, allowing investigators to quickly narrow down candidate schools and progress identification without manual web searching or reliance on personal knowledge.

S21 School Badge Lookup supports investigations across Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, the USA, and Australia, with additional regions added over time.

It works alongside your existing forensic and investigative tools. Media can be exported from any system and analysed directly — with no changes to your current workflow.
