Streamlined investigations and effective enforcement of environmental crime
Comtrac can be configured as a solution for environmental crime and regulatory enforcement teams managing complex environmental law investigations. With extensive experience working with environmental regulators, Comtrac helps reduce administrative burden and supports the efficient preparation of briefs of evidence.
Building a prosecutable environmental crime case has never been more challenging
Environmental regulators often deal with complex multi-jurisdictional investigations. They need fit-for-purpose tools to ensure seamless handover to prosecutors.
Fragmented regulatory responsibility
Environmental crime is often spread across local, state, and federal jurisdictions, leading to inconsistent processes, duplicated effort, and gaps in coordination between agencies.
Complexity and variety of evidence
Environmental crime evidence is often collected in the field under time pressure by multiple officers or agencies, creating challenges in consolidating information.
Challenging progression to prosecution
Evidence is often not structured to clearly support the legal elements of an offence, causing delays, rework, and challenges in preparing a court-ready brief.
One place to manage the full investigation and brief of evidence
From intake through evidence collection such as witness interviews, mapping evidence to allegation elements, and brief of evidence for prosecutors.
Evidence in the field
The frontline mobile app allows the capture of field notes, photographs and supports the conduct of interviews.
Event chronology
Timeline of key events that are associated with the matter under investigation.
Evidence mapping
Link exhibits such as documents, interviews and photos directly to the allegation it supports.
Brief of evidence
Builds prosecution-ready briefs from day one, not just assembled at the conclusion of an investigation.
Structured evidence analysis
A proven methodology for mapping every piece of evidence to every allegation
Comtrac supports a clear and methodical approach to managing evidence. Targeted AI can assist with analysis of exhibits relevant to an element of an offence, summarising findings. This operates under a human-in-the-loop model, ensuring investigators retain full control and validate outputs.
Frontline capability
Seamless in-field evidence collection for frontline investigations
The Comtrac Frontline mobile app (iOS and Android) enables investigators to capture field notes, photographs, and evidence in real time, and conduct interviews on the spot. AI capabilities then analyse and summarise interviews instantly, generating draft witness statements for immediate review and signature in the field.
Prosecution ready
Building prosecution-ready briefs from day one
Comtrac builds your final report as you investigate, not after. Every finding is backed by linked evidence, every decision is timestamped, and the full audit trail is one click away when the executive or regulators ask for it.
Results speak for themselves
Leading law enforcement, government regulators and private enterprise handle their most critical investigations with Comtrac.
The role of technology and AI in combatting environmental crime
Environmental crime in Australia is a complex and growing challenge, involving offences such as illegal logging, fishing, waste dumping, water theft, and wildlife trafficking across multiple regulatory frameworks and agencies. Increasingly, AI is helping agencies integrate data, identify patterns, and automate evidence analysis and reporting, improving efficiency and strengthening prosecution outcomes.
