Thirty years of building trust.
Founded in 1994 to serve the CJIS community. Today all 50 states run their CJIS programs on Peak.
Founders John and James Yearty set out to improve how agencies access NCIC and Nlets.
Three decades on, we serve the whole CJIS community: state, federal, and Tribal agencies, and the companies that sell to them.
Every product exists to meet FBI requirements with less of the work falling on public servants.

What are Peak's company values?
We measure the work by whether the customer's problem is actually solved, not by whether the task got closed.
Say the hard thing early. Almost every problem is cheaper to fix when someone raises it first.
Compliance work is never finished. We show up the same way in year thirty as we did in week one.
We own the mistake, fix it, and then change the process so it does not happen twice.
We do what we said we would do, including when it costs us and no one would have known.
Rested people do better work. We are building for the long run, not the sprint.
We believe in doing business with integrity, pride, and attention to detail.
