Caliber Public Safety Helps Agencies Reduce Report Writing Time by up to 40 Percent

New AI Narrative feature keep officers in the field while maintaining strict accountability and CJIS-aligned security

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Caliber Public Safety, a provider of integrated public safety technology to more than 700 law enforcement, fire/EMS, and corrections agencies nationwide, announced new AI Narrative capabilities within Online RMS.

Caliber’s goal is to help agencies leverage AI responsibly to increase efficiency while maintaining transparency, accountability, and public trust. Designed to reduce the administrative burden on patrol officers, this new feature delivers measurable business outcomes. Currently, 34 agencies have the Narrative Draft Assistant feature enabled. During the pilot phase, users reported anticipated time savings of 20 to 40 percent in narrative creation, providing a proven path to faster report completion, improved supervisor review efficiency, and more officer time in the community.

The Problem AI Narrative Solves

Report writing is one of the most time-consuming parts of an officer’s shift. After responding to an incident, collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and ensuring scene safety, officers often spend a significant portion of their remaining shift completing detailed written narratives. That is time away from patrol, away from community engagement, and away from the next call.

AI Narrative addresses this directly. The Narrative Draft Assistant uses data already entered into the incident report to generate a structured narrative draft. Rather than starting from a blank page, officers receive a working framework built from the components of their own report, including persons, offenses, property, and other case elements.

The Human-in-the-Loop Differentiator

Caliber differentiates its approach to artificial intelligence through a strict human-in-the-loop model. The technology is designed to assist the officer, not replace officer judgment. Final accountability always remains with the authoring officer.

The draft produced by the AI includes embedded placeholders, internally referred to as “Easter eggs,” that require the officer to actively review, edit, and complete the narrative before it can be submitted. Officers cannot simply activate the draft and submit it unedited. Online RMS requires each officer to formally acknowledge that the narrative was drafted with AI assistance and to sign off that they have personally reviewed the content for accuracy.

“We did not build this to let officers skip the narrative process. We built it so they do not have to start from scratch,” said Bill Chapman, RMS Senior Analyst at Caliber Public Safety. “Every report still has an officer’s name on it, and that means every report still needs an officer’s eyes and judgment on it. The Draft Assistant gives them a head start, not a finished product.”

For supervisors, AI Narrative also introduces an enhanced Narrative Review workflow. When a narrative is returned for revision, a Toggle Old Narrative view allows side-by-side comparison of the original submission and the annotated version, making it faster and easier for both the reviewing supervisor and the authoring officer to track changes during the approval process.

Security and Compliance

Caliber Public Safety’s platform is hosted at Nlets data centers, which meet stringent FBI CJIS policies, standards, and guidelines, and feature full multi-site hot backup disaster recovery.

To maintain strict data security, the AI Narrative workflow combines efficiency with mandatory human control. During the review process, officers can easily edit or remove CJIS-specific or other sensitive information contained in the generated draft before saving it to the system. This ensures the agency maintains complete oversight of what data is finalized and stored.

A Product Shaped by Practitioners

“The feature came directly from listening to the agencies we serve,” said Josh Bryant, Director of Product Management at Caliber Public Safety. “Officers told us that the hardest part of reporting was not the data entry. It was translating all of that structured data into a written narrative under time pressure. Our development team worked closely with active practitioners to build a tool that respects how officers actually work, gives them a real-time advantage, and keeps accountability where it belongs.”

AI Narrative is available now within Caliber Online RMS.

Nearmap Launches itel Total Price, Bringing Guaranteed Whole-Home Pricing to Property Claims

Published

By

New solution delivers fulfillment-backed pricing across major exterior and interior building materials — backed by a comprehensive pricing database and available now within Verisk Xactimate®

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nearmap, the leading property intelligence provider, today announced itel Total Price, a new whole-home pricing solution that delivers guaranteed pricing for major exterior and interior building materials across the entire claim.

Property insurers continue to face growing pressure to settle claims faster while managing rising material costs, inconsistent estimates, and increased scrutiny around claims settlements. Disconnected pricing workflows and limited visibility into real-world sourcing conditions often lead to supplements, contractor disputes, and delays that impact both claim outcomes and policyholder satisfaction.

Powered by proprietary Nearmap property intelligence, itel Total Price gives insurers a defensible way to manage material pricing across the claim lifecycle. By embedding guaranteed pricing directly into the claims process, the solution helps reduce friction for adjusters, minimize supplements and disputes, and improve consistency from estimate through settlement.

“Insurers have told us they want material pricing backed by fulfillment without adding complexity to the adjuster workflow,” said Paul Disney SVP of Product at Nearmap. “itel Total Price gives carriers a single trusted source for guaranteed pricing across the entire home, helping improve claim outcomes within the trusted Verisk Xactimate(R) platform.”

At the core of itel Total Price is the industry’s most comprehensive building materials pricing database, built on more than 30 years of proprietary materials intelligence and historical pricing data from more than 15 million claims. Part of the Nearmap proprietary property intelligence platform, pricing is continuously validated using localized market data sourced from manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, retailers, distributors, and big box stores nationwide, enabling pricing that reflects real sourcing conditions and current market dynamics. The result is accurate, defensible pricing backed by the itel Guarantee, which ensures the fulfillment of the materials at the provided price.

In addition to real-time integrated pricing delivered nearly instantly within Xactimate®, the itel Total Price solution supports deeper, specification-driven analysis via the itel NOW mobile app and physical sample submission, both of which provide lab-verified, like-kind-and-quality pricing with typical same-day or next-day service. When adjusters encounter an unfamiliar material or need greater certainty, they have a clear, simple pathway to get the right answer, all included in the itel Total Price solution at no additional charge. 

Because of the unique combination of like-kind-and-quality analysis and market-specific pricing, early customers adopting itel Total Price are realizing up to a 10x return on investment through reduced supplement frequency, faster cycle times, less adjuster rework, and tighter control over indemnity spend.

“Property claims decisions are only as strong as the intelligence behind them,” said David Tobias, Chief Product Officer at Nearmap. “itel Total Price represents an important step forward in our vision to deliver connected property intelligence that enables faster, more consistent, and more defensible claims decisions across the entire home. When you combine 30 years of proprietary materials data with localized, real-time market intelligence and back it with a robust and proven fulfillment system, you get pricing that holds up from the estimate through to settlement.”

With new materials continuously added to increase indemnity improvement, exterior materials span complete roofing systems, including primary shingles, ice and water shield, roofing felt and ridge cap, as well as siding, exterior paint, windows, and doors. Interior coverage includes all major flooring categories and associated installation accessories, interior paint, drywall, cabinets, insulation, and more. Adjusters can easily receive pricing for nearly all materials in a claim with just two clicks in Xactimate, which frees them to focus on other critical parts of making policyholders whole.

itel Total Price further extends the Nearmap offering for the P&C industry, which supports insurers across the full claim lifecycle from pre-event impact predictability and preparation, all the way to property measurements and repairability analysis with guaranteed pricing and post-claim repair validation. itel Total Price is available today.

It represents the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening the brand, expanding customer choice, and creating sustainable growth for customers, dealer partners, and employees alike.

Reinforcing that commitment, Mitsubishi Motors recently hosted a confidential, invitation-only dealer meeting where company leadership shared future product plans and strategic initiatives that will drive the next phase of growth for the brand, as well as revealing concepts and designs of models that will underpin this product-led growth.

Central to the North American strategy is an expanded focus on adventure-oriented and off-road-capable vehicles.

In a separate announcement from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in Japan, the company also announced the return of the legendary Pajero (Montero) nameplate. While no decision has been made regarding a U.S. introduction of this vehicle, the model’s return strengthens Mitsubishi Motors globally by reconnecting the brand with one of its most iconic and celebrated nameplates.

“When we launched Momentum 2030, many questioned whether such an ambitious vision could be achieved. Today, that vision is taking shape,” said Mark Chaffin, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. “Mitsubishi Motors is fully committed, and the path forward for the U.S. market is clear. This is the most comprehensive growth plan we have ever undertaken in the region, built around delivering greater value to customers, creating new opportunities for our dealer partners, and strengthening the long-term future of the brand.”

In the near term, Mitsubishi Motors will expand its U.S. lineup from four vehicles today to six vehicles in 2027. The lineup will include the Outlander Sport; Eclipse Cross; the all-new Eclipse Sportback EV; Outlander; Outlander Plug-in Hybrid; and a new rugged Outlander variant, with the model name to be announced in the coming months.

Customers and dealer partners have consistently expressed a desire for Mitsubishi Motors to compete in additional segments. Through Momentum 2030, the company is delivering on that expectation with a broader product portfolio, expanded customer choice, and a clear vision for long-term growth.
