Every solution is available individually. Start with one and add more when you are ready.

Deployed out of the box

Pre-built and ready to run on your own infrastructure, on-premises or in your own cloud, whichever suits your force.

Built on a governance layer

Each solution runs on a shared governance and assurance layer, keeping outputs observable, auditable and defensible. That assurance is essential wherever AI touches the evidential chain.

Front door

1
Instigation and report

A report comes in, by 999, 101, online or in person at the front counter, and the first investigative steps begin.

2
Crime and incident recording

Recorded under Home Office Crime Recording Rules and the National Crime Recording Standard.

3
THRIVE assessment and grading

The THRIVE assessment is applied, threat, harm, risk, investigation, vulnerability and engagement, and the response is graded.

Response

4
Allocation and deployment

Following the THRIVE assessment, the case is allocated by impact, seriousness and complexity.

5
Initial engagement and golden hour

Attendance, scene, first accounts, fast-track actions.

6
Investigation and evaluation

Lines of enquiry, gathering material, testing hypotheses.

7
Case file and disclosure

File built and supervisor-reviewed before CPS; CPIA disclosure; record, retain, reveal.

Common questions

Where does Great Wave AI run?

On your own infrastructure, on-premises or in your own cloud, whichever is right for your force. Your data stays under your control.

Can we buy a single solution?

Yes. Every solution is available individually and deploys out of the box. You can start with one and add more over time.

Is it aligned to College of Policing guidance?

Yes. The solutions map to the investigation lifecycle and authorised professional practice, and run on a shared governance and assurance layer that is observable and auditable.

HOCR coding check

Applying the Home Office Counting Rules by hand is slow and error-prone, which creates inconsistent data and compliance risk. Built with the Alan Turing Institute, this applies the Counting Rules to each crime report automatically.

91%recording accuracyvs 70% by hand
~70%less time applying the rules

More consistent recording, and more reliable data for planning and resource allocation.

CAD in Records Management System check

Information from command and control (CAD) does not always transfer cleanly into the Records Management System. This checks that all CAD information has reached the RMS and flags anything missing or inconsistent.

THRIVE check

THRIVE assessments are made under time pressure at first contact, so threat, harm, risk and vulnerability can be graded inconsistently. Getting this right is critical: it determines how a call is graded and resourced, including which incidents receive an emergency response.

This reviews the report against the THRIVE model and flags missing or inconsistent indicators, helping ensure the assessment is done correctly every time.

ReportTHRIVE checkRight grading and deployment

More consistent grading, with vulnerability surfaced earlier.

PNC requirement check

Deciding whether a Police National Computer check is required, and justifying it, is a manual judgement on every case. This determines whether a PNC check is required and drafts the supporting justification for review.

MG11 statement creation

The MG11 is the standard statement form, used for witnesses, victims and any official statement. Writing accounts up into it by hand is slow, repetitive admin. This transcribes the interview and structures it into the MG11 template, in the person's own words, ready for verification.

InterviewStructured MG11 in minutes
Worked exampleAn officer taking several statements a week gets hours back, with a consistent format every time.

MG1 file front sheet

A single investigation bundle can run to hundreds of documents: witness statements, exhibits and more. Producing a court-ready MG1 from it by hand is slow, error-prone and hard to keep consistent. This takes the full bundle and builds the MG1 automatically: a chronology of key events, a summary of every witness even across multiple statements, and the legal points to prove.

Hundreds of documentsCourt-ready MG1
<10 minto compile a casevs half a day to a week by hand

MG series case file creation

A CPS case file is made up of many separate MG forms. We extend the MG1 capability to further forms on an MG form by MG form basis, building the file out one form at a time rather than attempting the whole series at once.

Case file review

Every case file must be reviewed by a supervisor before it goes to the CPS, and reviewing files takes up most of a sergeant's day. This reviews each file to check that procedures have been followed and recorded correctly, ready for sign-off.

~30 minsaved per review
Worked exampleA force reviewing 2,000 files a month saves around 1,000 hours, roughly the equivalent of six full-time roles freed for higher-priority work.

HOCR outcome check

At case closure, selecting the correct outcome against Home Office guidance carries real nuance, and inconsistent outcomes are a recurring focus of HMICFRS data integrity inspections. This checks every closed case and confirms the outcome is correct and consistently applied.

100%of closed cases checked, not just a sample

Missing person summaries

During a live missing person investigation, the duty inspector has to keep track of a fast-growing set of notes and actions. This gives the inspector a running, up-to-date summary of everything as the case unfolds.

Sergeant reviews

Sergeants spend much of their day on periodic case reviews. This reviews each case to check that procedures have been followed and recorded correctly, on whatever cadence your force sets.

~30 minsaved per review
Worked exampleA force carrying out 2,000 reviews a month saves around 1,000 hours, roughly six full-time roles freed for higher-priority work.

Inspector reviews

Inspectors carry out periodic case reviews on a longer cadence. This reviews each case to check that procedures have been followed and recorded correctly, configurable to your force's intervals.

~30 minsaved per review
Worked exampleAcross a force's full review workload, the time saved adds up to several full-time roles returned to higher-priority work.

Crime audits

Auditing investigation quality by hand takes 30 to 60 minutes per crime, so only a small sample of cases is ever audited. This audits investigation quality automatically, so far more cases can be reviewed.

~100×more audits per persona day's work covers what once took a team a month
100%of recorded crime auditable, not just a sample

Overtime claims

Checking overtime claims by hand is slow and inconsistent, and the rules are complex, so incorrect payments slip through. This evaluates each claim automatically against the full set of overtime rules, deciding eligibility, the correct rate and the allowable hours.

97%agent accuracyvs 73% by hand
Worked exampleFor one force, removing manual checking and cutting incorrect payments added up to roughly £147k a year.

Vetting interview summary

Writing up vetting interviews is repetitive documentation work. This produces a clear, consistent summary of each interview, ready to be shared with the person being vetted.

Vetting interviewSummary sent to the person being vetted

Rehabilitation of Offenders checklist

For each vetting case, checking the relevance of previous convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act is manual and time-consuming. This automates those checks, helping determine the relevance of previous convictions.

~15 minsaved per vetting case
Worked exampleA force handling several thousand vetting cases a year saves well over a thousand hours annually.

HR query answerer

Routine HR queries eat into the team's time and reduce their capacity for strategic work. This answers common HR questions instantly from the force's own HR policy, freeing the team for more complex tasks.
