Explore an end-to-end investigative workflow and the people, evidence, organizations, locations, and events connected to it.
Every criminal investigation moves through six stages — from first report to case disposition. Here's how Hubstream structures that journey for investigative teams.
Investigations may begin with a local law-enforcement referral, statewide intelligence lead, prosecutor or AG referral, government-agency referral, public complaint, partner-agency request, or connection to an existing investigation. The initial question: does this matter require statewide authority, specialist capability, or coordination across jurisdictions?
The bureau evaluates jurisdiction, public-safety impact, statewide relevance, links to existing investigations, specialist-unit requirements, partner-agency involvement, and investigator capacity. The matter may be assigned to major crime, organized crime, public corruption, financial crime, cybercrime, human trafficking, or narcotics units.
Investigators connect information across people and aliases, cases and referrals, organizations and criminal enterprises, locations and jurisdictions, vehicles and devices, communications and online identities, financial accounts and transactions, and partner-agency records. The objective is not only to solve one case but to develop the wider statewide intelligence picture.
The investigation may involve interviews, surveillance, warrants, subpoenas, digital and financial analysis, confidential sources, deconfliction, task-force coordination, and prosecutorial consultation. Hubstream maintains one connected investigative view while preserving permissions, source provenance, and agency boundaries.
Possible outcomes include coordinated arrests, search-warrant operations, seizures, charging or indictment packages, referrals to state or federal prosecutors, intelligence dissemination, and continued enterprise investigation. An enforcement action may be one stage in a broader network investigation rather than the end of the matter.
The bureau records enforcement and prosecution outcomes, seizures, recoveries, disrupted networks, related subjects, partner-agency activity, and intelligence relevant to future cases. A closed investigation continues contributing knowledge to later referrals and investigations.
Every entity Hubstream tracks in a criminal investigation — organized by how central each is to the selected organization's workflow. All records remain available; emphasis changes by context.
The connections this organization is trying to uncover — shown as the investigative thread that reveals what no single record could show alone.
What the investigation produces — enforcement actions, intelligence, accountability, and the knowledge that carries into future cases.
The Crime Investigation template covers the full investigative lifecycle. These add-ons bolt onto specific stages when your team needs a dedicated sub-workflow for specialized activity.
A public or internal reporting portal that lets citizens, Crime Stoppers, or internal units submit crime reports directly into Hubstream — automatically creating a case record and routing it for triage.
A specialized intelligence layer for investigations involving criminal organizations and street gangs — mapping membership, territory, hierarchy, and cross-case criminal activity into a persistent intelligence picture.
