Organization
Callyo provides policing technology that aims to help officers protect children from exploitation and human trafficking.
Police agencies often praise Callyo for its efficiency. Detectives are able to use its mobile technology to easily preserve evidence and prosecute child predators in a timely manner. One of Callyo’s more prominent services is its 10-21 app, which allows officers to contact citizens directly from their cellphones without disclosing their identity. Since the company’s expansion into downtown St. Petersburg, it has partnered with the International Association of Human Traffickers Investigators (IAHTI), which has also relocated to St. Pete. The partnership opens the opportunity for Callyo to further its services, and for IAHTI to develop more advanced human trafficking training and education.
