What is Assist Chat?
What is Motorola Solutions Assist Chat?
Assist Chat is a secure, conversational AI assistant that lets public safety personnel access agency policies, records, procedures, and operational data using natural language questions, all within a CJIS-compliant environment.
Assist Chat is a purpose-built, conversational AI assistant designed specifically for the unique demands of public safety. It allows personnel, from frontline officers to back-office analysts, to securely interact with their agency’s data using simple, spoken or typed questions. Think of it as a digital partner, always ready to surface the critical information needed to make informed decisions.
This is far more than a standard search tool. Assist Chat is intelligently integrated into the public safety workflow, understanding the context of your operations to deliver relevant, actionable intelligence. It combines a sophisticated large language model (LLM) with secure, firewalled access to your agency’s knowledge base. This architecture ensures that all queries and data remain within your controlled, CJIS-compliant environment, safeguarding your agency’s privacy while harnessing the power of AI.
The platform is designed to supercharge productivity and improve compliance. By making it easier for team members to perform “by the book,” you can enhance operational consistency and build greater trust within the community you serve.
How Assist Chat Empowers Your Agency
Assist Chat is engineered to address the core challenges public safety agencies face daily. It provides instant expertise, accelerates workflows, and helps ensure every action is grounded in established procedure.
How does Assist Chat help officers and field personnel?
It provides instant guidance on policies, procedures, and training requirements so officers can act quickly and confidently without searching through documents or returning to a workstation.
Instant Expertise in the Field
With Assist Chat, your personnel no longer need to pause their response to track down a specific policy document or procedure. They can ask questions in natural language and receive clear, step-by-step guidance. Through a new integration with PowerDMS by NEOGOV, a leading public safety policy platform, officers can conversationally access vital information, such as:
Training requirements for new or lateral officers
- Timelines for filing grievance reports
- Procedures for documenting pursuits
This immediate access to expertise ensures that field actions align with agency standards, boosting both compliance and confidence.
Supercharged Productivity and Accelerated Workflows
Assist Chat moves your team faster on tasks that extend beyond simple policy lookups. It can summarize long texts, provide quick definitions, and even offer cultural information to help personnel better serve a diverse community. In the command center, Assist can present real-time radio transcripts and support dispatchers by prepopulating incident details, recommending the appropriate response.
For investigators and crime analysts, Assist Chat becomes a powerful research tool. They can perform deep queries into records and evidence data, asking the system to create a historical map of a vehicle used in a crime or to find connections across previous cases – all within a secure, CJIS-compliant interface. This ability to converse with data dramatically reduces the time spent on manual research, freeing up valuable time for strategic analysis.
Secure Access to Broader AI Tools
Public safety personnel operate in a world that stretches beyond internal policies. Assist Chat allows them to safely and securely get answers to general questions from a popular generative AI large language model without ever exposing internal agency data. Your information remains protected within your controlled environment, giving your team the knowledge they need without risking privacy.
How is Assist Chat different from consumer generative AI?
Assist Chat runs inside a secure, firewalled, CJIS-compliant environment and accesses only authorized agency data, ensuring privacy, accuracy, and operational safety.
The Assist AI Platform: Your Ultimate AI Sidekick
Assist Chat is a cornerstone of Assist, Motorola Solutions’ interactive AI platform. Assist is thoughtfully integrated across the entire public safety workflow – voice, video, and data – to offer insights right where they are needed most. It serves as the central nervous system for your technology, proactively supporting each user with role-specific information contextualized to the time, task, and place.
From the SVX video remote speaker microphone, which allows officers to verbally search for information, to AI-assisted report-writing that helps ensure accuracy and accountability, the Assist platform is revolutionizing public safety operations. Each new data source connected to Assist makes its suggestions more accurate and its capabilities more useful, creating a powerful ecosystem of intelligence.
