KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. (WACH) — The Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office has announced that it is the first sheriff’s agency in South Carolina to use AI tools for investigators.
KCSO will utilize TRULEO’s AI-powered investigative suite.
These tools will provide KCSO investigators more efficient ways to review and organize case files, extract key details, and prepare for court.
The platform can improve tasks that would previously slow investigations down like looking over extensive records and finding missing information.
It can also build structured timelines, suggest investigative next steps, and even simulate courtroom questioning to strengthen case strategy.
TRULEO’s AI system facilitates anonymous witness interviews by categorizing and summarizes responses during the conversation, and flags leads, giving investigators quick information.
“This is a big step forward for our investigative team,” Sheriff Lee Boan said. “With minimal investigators serving the entire county, every tool that helps them save time and work more efficiently has a large impact on public safety. TRULEO gives them the support they need to keep cases moving forward and produce effective outcomes.”
TRULEO will also review body-cam footage.
According to the Sheriff’s office, agencies can manually review only 1% or less of their footage each year and the software will identify positive interactions, standout professionalism, and moments ideal for training.
“We’re proud to partner with KCSO as they lead the way in using AI to empower their deputies and investigators,” Anthony Tassone, TRULEO CEO and Co-Founder said. “These capabilities don’t just improve productivity; they strengthen every step of the investigative process, helping the department solve cases faster and deliver quality public safety to the citizens of Kershaw County.”
