Elements Checker
Real-time elements-of-the-crime and policy checks while you write—so critical facts aren’t missed.
Elements-First Validation
Checks required elements for the selected offense and flags missing facts.
Real-Time Prompts
Targeted follow-ups for inconsistencies and incomplete details as you write.
Prosecutorial Review Ready
Structured output that supports legal review; officer approval required.
What We Check First: Elements of the Crime
We map draft facts to required elements and surface gaps. Examples below—elements vary by jurisdiction.
Theft / Larceny (example)
- Taking/obtaining property
- Property of another
- Intent to deprive
Burglary (example)
- Unlawful entry
- Structure/dwelling
- Intent to commit a crime inside
DUI (example)
- Actual physical control/operation
- Impairment indicators or BAC
- Lawful stop basis
Battery / Assault (example)
- Intentional/knowing act
- Bodily harm or offensive contact
- Victim identity/relationship
Examples are illustrative. The checker uses your agency’s statutes and charging language.
Why & How We Built Elements Checking
The Why
Reports get kicked back for the same reasons: missing required elements for the offense, policy-sensitive facts not documented, or inconsistencies that create doubt. That costs time and delays cases.
- • Missing/partial offense elements (e.g., intent, entry, control)
- • Policy triggers not documented (Miranda, use-of-force, chain of custody)
- • Inconsistent names/dates that require rework
Our Approach
- Elements taxonomy: we map charging language into checklists per offense, configurable for your jurisdiction.
- Grounded checking: at runtime we retrieve your statutes and policies (RAG) and cite sections in context.
- Targeted prompts: when a gap is detected, the system asks for the specific fact that satisfies the element.
- Review & audit: officer acknowledgement, notes, and an export with an audit trail to your RMS.

How Elements Checker Works
Continuous decision support throughout the writing process.
Draft
Speak or paste notes in plain language.
Detect
Model aligns facts to offense elements; finds gaps.
Prompt
Clear follow-ups (e.g., basis for stop, witness, entry).
Review & Export
Run policy check, acknowledge items, export to RMS.
Outputs require officer review; not legal advice.
