RiskJockey

What RiskJockey does

RiskJockey, Inc. is a privately held open-records and investigation technology company founded in 2008 by licensed private investigators Michael Connell and Andrew Bone. The company serves law firms, property and casualty insurers, claims professionals, accident reconstructionists, public defenders, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies that need to obtain traffic-accident and law enforcement evidence, including court records, 911 audio, body camera and dash camera footage, traffic or security camera recordings, accident reports, toxicology reports, CAD records, DOT records, DUI records, EMS records, fire records, and NHTSA/FMCSA/NTSB-related reports.

Its core product is a patent-pending open-records platform that lets a user submit one request and then contacts responding law enforcement agencies across local, state, and federal jurisdictions. The platform automates outreach, follow-ups, agency fee payments, tracking, and evidence delivery, while storing evidence in an AWS data center for retrieval. RiskJockey reports an 88% success rate for evidence retrieval and an 87% reduction in manual paperwork, and it has integrations or partnerships with Guidewire PartnerConnect, Filevine, MyCase, and Verisk; it also offers a free Law Enforcement Portal for agencies to manage records requests, share evidence, maintain compliance, and collect fees.

The company monetizes primarily through transaction and convenience fees rather than subscription pricing. Published pricing includes $75 per video recording, $25 for 911 audio and accident or incident reports, $10 per item when no record is found, and $150 per hour for investigative services, with agency fees passed through to customers and commercial insurance carriers eligible for monthly invoicing. Go-to-market is a mix of self-serve web requests through app.riskjockey.com, enterprise sales and demos for carriers and law firms, industry events, referrals, and embedded distribution through software integrations.
