CrimeNtel - Criminal Intelligence Software


Product Information Sheet


Product Description
CrimeNtel is a criminal intelligence database system designed to track criminal intelligence information related to subjects, groups, addresses, vehicles, businesses, telephone numbers, images, sources of intelligence and MO's. The software was designed from the ground-up to comply with US Federal guideline 28 CFR Part 23 and other international known good practices for gathering and maintaining criminal intelligence data.

CrimeNtel is easily customized to suit your agency's needs. It is designed to run under all versions of Microsoft Windows™ from Windows 95 on up to Windows XP. It supports industry standard databases including RBASE (included for no additional licensing costs), Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.


Intelligence is the Focal Point
The intelligence submission - not the subject - needs to be the focal point of any criminal intelligence system.

This allows the system to automatically cross-link subjects, groups, addresses, vehicles, businesses, images, sources and MO's through their common intelligence submissions, which in-turn document the tie-ins between these entities.


Simple but Powerful Data Entry
Law enforcement software with sophisticated linking often burdens users with complex data entry. CrimeNtel's intelligence submission interface has been designed and tested with the assistance of key customers.

Our goal is to provide the easiest and most intuitive data entry format that supports CrimeNtel's powerful linking capabilities. A unique feature is the use of icons and "tree views" to show linked elements at a glance.

Multi-layered access/security control
All records entered into the system are assigned an access level (1 through 5). Each user is assigned an access level as well. Users can only access records at or below their access - ensuring screening based on need-to-know.

User Permissions
CI Technologies recognizes that not all users of CrimeNtel will have the same user permissions. The system has been designed so that your agency can define the permissions and features a user has access to. For example a user can be given any of the following permissions:

  • Global Read/Write - The user can edit any record, provided they have the proper access level.
  • Read/Write Own - The user can only edit records they have entered into the system.
  • Read Only - The user can only view records in the system.
Automatic Cross-Linking
CrimeNtel's design is focused around the intelligence submissions in the system. Intelligence submissions are linked to related subjects, vehicles, businesses, groups, telephones, images, sources, and modus operandi (MO's). These records are, in turn, automatically cross-linked to each other via the intelligence they are linked through.

A key advantage of cross-linking is that it provides analytical capabilities by displaying the strength of cross-links. This indicates multiple intelligence submissions linking together two records, multiple times.

Search Capabilities
CrimeNtel offers "Fast Find" and "Query Builders" throughout to easily search any data field or combination of data fields. The ability to conduct a "sounds" like and partial text search is supported, as is the search of all narratives that contain a word or phrase.

The simplicity of CrimeNtel's search capabilities is a key component to CrimeNtel's power.

Link Charts
CrimeNtel 5.0 introduces a link chart feature. This feature allows CrimeNtel users to quickly, with just a few mouse clicks, create charts displaying the relationships between intelligence information.

Link charts can be printed or saved for future reference.
