Automated Incident Report Workflow

Built on ServiceNow’s Case Management foundation, the application automates the full lifecycle of police incident reports — from intake to validation and approval.
Supports the Unified Incident Report Management and Operational Efficiency outcomes.

Automatically captures uploaded police reports through Document Intelligence, populating key fields such as Report Number, Officer, Location, Date, and Nature of Call.
Validates the completeness of the extracted data before routing for review.
Routes incomplete or inconsistent reports to the Needs Review state for supervisor verification.

Document Intelligence Extraction

Integrates with Document Intelligence Admin to automate report data ingestion.
Supports Automated Data Extraction & Validation and Comprehensive Document Management.

Extracts structured information such as Reported Date, Reported Time, Officer, Assignment, Beat, Area, City, Zip Code, and Narrative fields from PDF or scanned reports.
Stores extracted data in the Police Incident Report table extended from Case.
Tracks document ingestion status via the Document Intelligence Status field (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Completed).

AI Validation and Knowledge Integration

Leverages Now Assist Skill Kit and Now Assist in Document Intelligence to verify data against departmental policies.
Supports Improved Accuracy & Compliance and Continuous AI Validation.

Automatically references Knowledge Articles such as:

Validation: Required Fields for All Reports
Validation: Location Format Rules

Determines validation results:

Approved – all required fields complete and valid.
Needs Review – missing, invalid, or inconsistent information.

Updates the Validation State, AI Validation (HTML), and KB Article Link fields with results and reasoning.
Automatically revalidates when any key data (e.g., ZIP Code or Location) changes.

Knowledge-Driven Continuous Improvement

Supports Scalability & Extensibility and Improved Compliance.

Validation rules and field requirements are managed entirely through Knowledge Articles, allowing law enforcement agencies to update policies without changing app configuration.
New rules (e.g., “Mandatory GPS coordinates,” “Suspect ID verification”) can be added through the Law Enforcement knowledge base.
Now Assist automatically references updated content during its next validation cycle.
