Pedro Intel
A high-level description of how Pedro turns public-source incident references into structured records and dashboard outputs.
Last updated: May 4, 2026
Pedro is a public-source incident intelligence system focused on organizing incident records for trend analysis, mapping, preparedness awareness, and historical comparison.
The system is designed to transform scattered public references into structured records that can be searched, reviewed, mapped, and compared over time.
Pedro ingests public-source references from local news, regional news, official public-safety agencies, government alerts, emergency management channels, transportation feeds, and other public references relevant to public-safety monitoring.
The system is designed to track incidents, not simply collect headlines. Source links are preserved so users can verify the original reporting directly.
Each incident record may include incident type, county, city, general location, timing fields, timing confidence, source role, severity, priority, verification notes, and a source link.
Pedro separates occurrence timing from publication timing. Publication time is not automatically treated as the time the incident happened.
Pedro applies incident classification, source evaluation, location normalization, timing interpretation, and duplicate handling so that records can be compared consistently across reporting cycles.
Where exact details are unavailable, records may carry date-only, approximate, or limited-confidence fields rather than false precision.
Confidence and verification labels reflect source quality, incident clarity, timing certainty, location certainty, and corroboration. Official or multi-source records may receive stronger confidence. Single-source or incomplete records may be retained with lower confidence or listed as unvalidated leads.
Pedro produces structured incident views, trend summaries, map products, TXT reports, and report archives. These outputs are designed to support pattern recognition and situational review, not to replace official emergency communication.
Pedro depends on public-source reporting. Records may be delayed, incomplete, corrected later, or revised when stronger evidence becomes available. Absence of a record does not mean absence of an incident.
