The CrimeTracer chatbot is a natural language interface available in Advanced Search that allows users to run queries using plain English instead of traditional dropdowns or forms. It is designed to help law enforcement professionals quickly access relevant information using simple phrases.
• Makes it faster and easier to search your data without needing to know database structure or syntax.
• Converts natural language queries (like "Show me all incidents involving a red pickup truck and a white male aged 30 to 35 with brown eyes.") into SQL queries that are executed against the CrimeTracer database.
• Helps users locate incidents, entities, patterns, and context efficiently through conversational search.
The chatbot is powered by a leading large language model, configured specifically for law enforcement use cases within the CJIS-compliant CrimeTracer platform.
• It does not modify, delete, or alter any data.
• It does not generate assumptions or conclusions about the data. All responses are based on the contents of the CrimeTracer database.
• It does not send data outside the CJIS boundary or log conversations outside the secure environment.
No. The chatbot only assists with query translation. It never modifies, deletes, or interprets data.
