Field notes
The interface offers two answer modes: a short AI explanation with sources, or excerpts matching the question. Users can follow a topic and check collected records again, but saved topics stay on that browser and do not trigger alerts. The Police & safety section directs visitors to Bedford’s official crime map; the site says incident records are not imported and warns that the map is not a complete log of police calls.
