Sources in TruAssist

TruAssist prides itself on transparency. Every answer delivered by the assistant cites the manuals, policies or statutes it consulted. These citations make it clear where the information comes from, down to the exact page numbers. Officers can verify the guidance they receive by opening the referenced documents and reading the source in context.

How sources are cited

  • Direct citations with page numbers – When TruAssist responds to a query, a Sources link appears above the answer. Clicking this link expands a list of the documents used and the specific page numbers. For example, a search about DUI‑stop indicators cites the Field Training Program Manual on pages 151 and 152 and the Police Report Writing guide on page 17.
  • Clickable source names – Each citation is a live link. Selecting a source opens the document on the exact page used, letting you review the full text for yourself. This helps officers confirm the context and avoids misinterpreting policy language.
  • Multiple source types – TruAssist pulls from training manuals, report‑writing guides, departmental policies, statutes and other uploaded materials. The assistant selects the most relevant portions based on your question and lists all sources consulted.

Viewing sources

  1. Submit a question – Ask TruAssist a question or describe a scenario. The assistant will search relevant documents and provide a concise answer.
  2. Open the sources list – Look for the Sources (n) label above the response. Click this to expand the list of citations. Each entry shows the document name and the exact page number(s) where the answer was drawn.
  3. Access the original document – Click any citation to open the corresponding manual or policy. The document viewer will load at the referenced page so you can read the source in context and confirm the information.

Example: preparing for a DUI stop

An officer asks TruAssist: “I’m approaching a vehicle on a suspected DUI stop – what indicators should I be looking for?” The assistant replies with a step‑by‑step checklist covering driving indicators, vehicle observations and occupant behaviour. Above the answer, the Sources link shows that the guidance was taken from the Field Training Program Manual (pages 151‑152) and the Police Report Writing guide (page 17). By clicking these citations, the officer can review the full text of the manual for additional context. This ensures the advice matches departmental training and builds trust in the AI’s recommendations.

Benefits of source transparency

  • Accountability – Citations let officers verify that recommendations align with official policies and training materials.
  • Confidence in AI guidance – Knowing exactly where information comes from helps officers trust the assistant’s advice.
  • Training and review – Being able to open the cited documents makes it easy to study policies, reinforce learning and prepare for exams.
  • Audit trail – Supervisors and trainers can see which documents were referenced during an interaction, helping with oversight and accreditation.

Summary

The Sources feature in TruAssist promotes transparency by clearly listing every document and page used to craft an answer. Officers can click the citations to verify guidance and explore the underlying manuals, policies or statutes. Whether you’re checking DUI‑stop procedures or confirming a legal standard, the sources list ensures that TruAssist remains an accountable and trustworthy research assistant.
