Analytics Strengthening Law Enforcement in Chile

The National Prosecutor’s Office of Chile employs a suite of advanced analytical tools known as Fiscal HeredIA (Spanish for Prosecutor HeredIA) to strengthen law enforcement. Its criminal network analysis module combines graph theory, optimization methods, and economic principles to identify members of organized crime groups. Additional modules, based on artificial intelligence, analyze massive volumes of text, transcribe and interpret audio recordings, and even summarize video content.

These capabilities have significantly transformed the way prosecutors conduct criminal investigations. In some cases, detection rates have increased from approximately 3% under traditional methodologies to over 40% with the use of Fiscal HeredIA. Moreover, across all applications, the time required for criminal investigations has been drastically reduced.
