Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A method of operating an electronic computing device to determine inconsistencies in digital evidence, the method comprising:
receiving, with an electronic processor of the electronic computing device, electronically stored video data from a first data source;
receiving, with the electronic processor, an electrically stored first responder note or report from a second data source;
determining, with the electronic processor, that the video data and the first responder note or report both include information associated with a common incident;
determining, with the electronic processor, an inconsistency between the video data and the first responder note or report by:
processing, with the electronic processor, the first responder note or report to identify a characteristic of a first person or object of interest who was present at a first time during the common incident,
analyzing, with an image analysis engine of the electronic processor, video frames within the video data that were captured at the first time during the common incident,
determining, with the electronic processor and based on analyzing the video frames, that a person or object of interest matching the characteristic of the first person or object of interest is not present in the video frames, and
in response to determining that a person or object of interest matching the characteristic of the first person or object of interest is not present in the video frames, determining, with the electronic processor, the presence of the inconsistency between the video data and the first responder note or report; and

in response to determining the presence of the inconsistency between the video data and the first responder note or report, providing, via a visual or audio output device, a visual or audio notification indicating the inconsistency between the video data and the first responder note or report;
in response to determining the presence of the inconsistency between the video data and the first responder note or report:
identifying, with the electronic processor, (i) users associated with inconsistent data and (ii) potential sources of supplemental data not yet included in an electronic incident record associated with the common incident,
transmitting, with the electronic processor, user notifications to respective user devices of the identified users,
querying, with the electronic processor, the potential sources of supplemental data,
receiving, with the electronic processor, supplemental data from a potential source of supplemental data, updated data from a user device, or both the supplemental data and the updated data,
adding, with the electronic processor, the supplemental data, the updated data, or both the supplemental data and the updated data to the electronic incident record to create a modified electronic incident record.
