Abstract
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is soliciting information in an upcoming Criminal Justice Testing and Evaluation Consortium (CJTEC) report that will provide a functional overview of how criminal justice stakeholders (i.e., law enforcement, courts, and correctional agencies) can implement chatbots. This report is a follow- on to Chatbots in the Criminal Justice System; a report that provides an overview of chatbot technology and examples in the criminal justice system. This RFI is seeking information about best practices for the development and implementation of chatbots in the criminal justice system. The resulting report will educate criminal justice agencies on implementation pathways and will highlight selected chatbot developers and providers with previous experience specific to the criminal justice system or local government. The goal of the report is to be a resource for stakeholders to reference when considering their chatbot development plans.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information sought: CJTEC is seeking information and insights into
the design, development, and implementation of chatbots in the criminal
justice system. Specifically, CJTEC is seeking information about
successful implementation that fit one or more of these categories:
<bullet> Chatbots designed for the criminal justice community, such
as law enforcement, court systems, correctional agencies, and victim
service organizations.
<bullet> Chatbots designed for other industries or applications
that could be applicable to the criminal justice community (i.e.,
municipal agency).
Usage: Information provided in response to this request may be
published in a report on chatbots in the criminal justice system. This
RFI is intended to solicit important general information from vendors,
developers, industry observers, or the criminal justice community which
may lead to later discussions to help understand best practices, case
studies, product technical specifications, etc. that might be used in
the report.
CJTEC is seeking a response from technology vendors, developers, IT
consultancies, or the criminal justice community that includes:
1. Name and description of company/organization.
2. Case studies or user testimonials highlighting criminal justice
or similar use cases, including description of product or service.
3. Contact information for a future conversation (name, role,
email, phone number).
An independent response should be submitted for each product that
respondents would like CJTEC to consider in their report. NIJ
encourages respondents to provide information in common file formats,
such as Microsoft Word, pdf, or plain text. Each response should
include contact information.
