CCTNS Modernisation: How Natural Language Search Could Change Crime Database Access

An investigating officer needs to check whether a specific modus operandi, a particular method of breaking into ATMs, say, has shown up anywhere else in the state in the last year.

Finding it means knowing which fields to search, which filters to apply, and how the data was likely entered by whichever officer logged it months ago in another district, possibly with a slightly different spelling or category tag.
