using regexp_instr in a where clause - invalid relational operator

oaksongOct 23 2013 — edited Oct 24 2013

Whey I try to run this query in TOAD I get an ORA-00920: invalid relational operator error. It's part of a 10g stored procedure. When I highlight it and run it it prompts me for the missing values and then the error pops up. The AND in line 4 is highlighted.

select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNT
From vaps.vw_offenses
    where regexp_instr(valoc,to_char(location_id))
        AND ( fromdate is null or
         offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy')
         )
group by crime_classification_id, crime_type
