The headline itself is the source of the claim about Elliptic, police and AI. No further facts from the article are confirmed, because the article text was not provided.
What is still unclear
The available material does not say whether such a tool exists, is being built, or has been announced. It does not describe how the tool would work, who could use it, which police forces would have access, or what it would cost.
It also does not include any statement from Elliptic, any quoted person, any figures, any launch date, or any timeline. Nothing in the supplied material shows whether the goal described in the headline has been achieved.
