Investigation plan prompt
Sets out the work before interviews or evidence review begin.
Create a security investigation plan for the issue described below. Include scope, known facts, people to speak to, evidence to review, risks to manage, confidentiality points and a suggested sequence of actions. Keep the plan neutral and do not decide the outcome.

- site context
- available evidence
- deadline
Witness interview questions
Builds open questions that avoid leading the witness.

Replace or add
- incident type
- witness role
- known timeline
CCTV review framework
Keeps video review notes consistent.
Create a CCTV review note template for this investigation. Include camera reference, review time, observed activity, confidence level, gaps in coverage and follow-up checks. Use factual language only.
Replace or add
- camera list
- time window
- incident location
Evidence gap analysis
Shows what is known and what still needs verification.
Review the investigation notes and create an evidence-gap table with columns for allegation or issue, evidence available, evidence missing, reliability concerns, next action and who should confirm the information before any conclusion is reached.
Replace or add
- investigation notes
- policy requirements
- decision deadline
How to customise them
- State whether the work is fact-finding, disciplinary support, client assurance or operational review.
- Ask the AI to identify uncertainty instead of smoothing it away.
- Keep interview and evidence prompts separate so the output remains easier to audit.
Responsible use
- Remove personal data, confidential client details and sensitive site information unless your organisation has approved that AI use.
- Check every fact against the original notes before sending, filing or escalating the output.
- Treat each response as drafting support. The security manager, supervisor or authorised reviewer remains responsible for judgement and final wording.
