ABOUT STRIX

Built by Investigators. For Investigators Everywhere.

Strix was founded by a Canadian police officer with 20+ years of frontline investigative experience. We build software for the people who actually close files — in uniform, in government, and in the private sector.

The Problem We Lived.

After two decades investigating everything from volume crime to major cases, our founder watched the same pattern repeat: officers lose the majority of their shift to paperwork. Disclosure packages pile up. Case quality varies investigator-to-investigator.

The best tools sit outside Canada, send data through foreign APIs, and ignore the Criminal Code. Strix exists because no off-the-shelf product was going to solve this — so we built one.

Sovereign. Investigator-grade. Deployed on your infrastructure.

"We built Strix for the investigators who are still working files at midnight — not for the vendors who want their data."

— Shawn Cunningham, Founder

Who Strix Serves.

From the front lines of Canadian policing to public-sector oversight to private-sector investigations.

Canadian Law Enforcement

Municipal, regional, provincial, and First Nations services — from patrol to major case.

Government & Public Enforcement

Regulators, transit police, housing and municipal enforcement, public-sector SIUs.

Corporate Security & Insurance SIU

In-house investigators, workplace investigations, insurance SIU, internal fraud teams.

"Strix represents 20+ years of frontline experience transformed into technology that serves investigators everywhere. Every feature reflects real-world needs because I've lived them."

— Shawn Cunningham, Founder & CEO
