Peregrine Technologies, an AI platform that helps police and emergency agencies search their own data, raised $250 million（約400億円） at a $6.8 billion（約1.1兆円） valuation—tripling its worth in 15 months and underscoring rapid investor appetite for law enforcement tech even as civil liberties concerns mount.

What happened

Peregrine Technologies, a San Francisco-based AI data integration platform, raised $250 million（約400億円） in Series D funding at a $6.8 billion（約1.1兆円） valuation. The company now serves more than 400 agencies and organizations representing roughly 125 million people across North America, and is running the security fusion center for eight of the 11 host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

What to watch

Peregrine's leadership said the company has not yet decided whether to go public, but is building internal infrastructure to be ready; founder Nick Noone expects the company to be working with close to 1,000 cities by year-end. The new capital will fund product development, engineering and implementation hiring, international expansion, and employee liquidity.
