Unlocking the Power of Technology to Scale Witness Interviews

For decades, community members with valuable information about a crime have faced a difficult choice: speak directly to an officer and risk feeling exposed or remain silent and hope someone else comes forward.

Now imagine a world where that choice looks very different.

A Safer Way to Share Information

A witness sees something, but instead of sitting nervously in the passenger seat of a patrol car or across from a detective in an interview room, they connect through a secure phone number.

On the other side isn’t an officer but advanced technology that guides them, step by step, through a series of interview questions.

• They don’t have to identify themselves.
• They don’t have to worry about how their words might be received.
• They don’t have to relive their fear of “getting it wrong.”

They simply provide the information they have, in their own words, on their own terms.

How the Technology Works

This isn’t a basic voicemail box. It’s an intelligent system designed to conduct full interviews without an officer present.

• Guided prompts ask the right follow-up questions automatically.
• Transcripts are generated instantly, capturing details without error or bias.
• Prioritization algorithms highlight the most significant facts so detectives can focus quickly on the strongest leads.

When multiple witnesses respond, the technology does more than collect statements. It organizes them, connects them, and surfaces contradictions or consistencies, giving investigators a clear roadmap of where to dig deeper.

The Officer’s Advantage

For officers, the benefits are immediate.

Instead of spending hours chasing down interviews, transcribing statements, and manually sorting through details, they receive:

• A structured interview transcript ready to add to the case file.
• A summary of prioritized details pointing to the most critical leads.
• Time back to handle urgent calls, patrol their community, or follow up on investigative tasks.

It’s not about replacing human judgment. It’s about giving officers the bandwidth to use their judgment where it counts most.

Why This Matters for Communities

When technology reduces barriers to speaking up, more people feel safe coming forward. That means fewer missed opportunities, faster case resolution, and stronger connections between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Every detail matters. Sometimes the smallest observation, a car turning down a street, a voice overheard in passing, can break open a case. By giving people a safe, unbiased way to share, law enforcement gains access to information that might otherwise remain hidden.

Looking Ahead

The next era of policing won’t hinge on outdated processes; it will be built on smarter, faster, more secure ways to deliver justice.

At TRULEO, we believe technology should make both communities and officers feel safer. That’s why we’re building tools that:

• Empower witnesses to speak freely.
• Help officers cut through complexity.
•  Move cases forward faster without sacrificing trust.

When information can be shared safely, processed quickly, and acted on with clarity, everyone benefits. Justice is strongest when it’s a unified mission.
