How LeoPen works

The model is one part
of the system.

Task-specific workflows, fact-preservation checks, official and agency sources, application rules, and review states determine how the AI service is used inside LeoPen.

Provider, hosting, retention, routing, and data-flow decisions are documented for the exact deployment under review.

System-level differentiation

What surrounds the generation step matters

Better documentation depends on how facts, sources, prompts, review states, and people are connected—not on claiming that one model always knows the answer.

Application workflow

Purpose-built narrative, fact-review, instruction, policy-source, and warrant-preparation flows keep the user inside a defined task.

Fact-preservation checks

The supplied fact set is compared with the working draft so omissions and unsupported language can be surfaced for review.

Official and agency sources

Supported Florida jury instructions and agency-provided policy material remain connected to their retained source documents.

Review-first guardrails

Product language, status states, and provenance keep uncertainty and human responsibility visible.

Request path

Generation stays inside a defined source-and-review loop

The model is one service inside the application. The workflow around it determines what context it receives, which source material is available, what checks run afterward, and who is responsible for the result.

  1. 01

    Define the task

    The user enters a narrative, fact-review, instruction, or policy workflow rather than an unrestricted general-purpose chat.

  2. 02

    Preserve user facts

    Officer-provided notes and statements remain the working fact set used to organize and review the draft.

  3. 03

    Retrieve approved sources

    When the workflow calls for it, LeoPen resolves supported official instructions or configured agency policy material.

  4. 04

    Generate inside the workflow

    The configured AI service produces task-specific language while application rules keep the output in working-draft status.

  5. 05

    Run application checks

    Fact comparison, reviewed instruction matchers, source links, and explicit manual-review states add context around the generation.

  6. 06

    Return control to people

    The officer and agency inspect the facts, wording, sources, prompts, and decisions before the work moves forward.

Architecture questions

Pin down the exact AI service used in the pilot

“AI model” is not enough detail for security, procurement, or operational review. The final architecture should answer these questions in writing.

Provider and version

Which model and provider serve each workflow, and how are model or routing changes approved and communicated?

Data exposure

Exactly which fields, documents, prompts, and metadata are sent to the provider, from which region, and for what purpose?

Retention and training

What does each provider retain, log, or use for training or service improvement under the proposed service tier?

Failure and fallback

What happens when a provider is unavailable, a request is interrupted, a source is missing, or output falls outside acceptance rules?

Evaluation

Which representative, incomplete, contradictory, and adversarial scenarios are tested before and during the pilot?

Change control

How are new models, prompts, source packs, matcher logic, and guardrails evaluated before they affect agency users?

Pilot risk management

Govern, map, measure, and manage the complete workflow

NIST's AI Risk Management Framework is a useful structure for evaluating LeoPen as a system across design, deployment, use, testing, and change—not as a one-time model demo.

Read the NIST AI RMF

Govern

Assign accountable owners, approved uses, prohibited uses, review duties, escalation paths, and change authority.

Map

Document users, scenarios, affected people, data, sources, providers, dependencies, limitations, and potential harms.

Measure

Test fact preservation, source grounding, incomplete inputs, unsupported requests, reviewer behavior, reliability, and security.

Manage

Set acceptance thresholds, human controls, monitoring, incident response, remediation, retirement, and recurring review.

Human and legal boundaries remain unchanged

LeoPen supports drafting and review. It does not determine what charge applies, whether probable cause exists, whether evidence is admissible, whether an agency is compliant, or whether a person is guilty.
