Law vs. Disorder
Police officers and investigators dream of extra hours in the day.

When reputations are on the line, we put ours out there with you. We’re here to handle any to all of your law enforcement transcriptions.
By the book is a phrase we understand—and well. We value punctuality and accountability. And we never cut corners. Integrity is everything. Case closed.
Police Transcription Services: Keep Your Officers and Investigators on the Job
There’s no doubt about it, police agencies are overloaded with work and short on resources. One of the most important yet time-consuming tasks is law enforcement transcription. That’s why time and accuracy are two areas where criminal justice transcription makes a difference; without a quick turnaround, accurate interpretation, and a format acceptable to the prosecutor or district attorney’s office, the system fails to function.
For every hour of dictation, it takes four to five times to convert the contents of each file to written text. That means officers spend too much of their time on reporting. It takes them out of the field and away from doing more of the activities that keep the community safe.
Our specialized team provides the best online transcription services for the law enforcement and criminal justice industry. At Ditto, we know that being the best is more important than being the biggest. This is why we offer reliable transcription services for law enforcement with personalized support, no matter what.
Use Ditto, and cases close fast, and your agency avoids the risk of losing cases due to violated statutory requirements.

How We Process Audio/Video for Law Enforcement Transcription Services
As audio and video recording technology advances, outsourced law enforcement transcription allows you to stay ahead of the curve. Today, police cruisers now offer law enforcement professionals the ability to verbally dictate and record traffic accidents or violations as they occur or immediately thereafter.
Officers in the field can carry handheld digital recording devices for similar purposes. This gives the police officer the ability to record his or her thoughts or notes on-site without the need to try and remember everything later. Audio and video surveillance equipment has also gone digital. Law enforcement professionals can now hide micro-cameras and recording devices in the most discreet places.
Law enforcement transcription is no different from any other professional service type. After receiving the digital or analog video or audio file, we carefully listen to the source material and transcribe it verbatim to a written format. Once the transcript is finished, it is rigorously reviewed and proofread to ensure complete accuracy.
When your transcript is finalized, we return it to the client in the desired digital or hard copy format. The transcription can be delivered in multiple digital formats and professionally printed documents if requested. The law enforcement transcript can be securely archived indefinitely for the client’s benefit. When necessary, law enforcement transcripts can be certified and/or notarized.
Completion time can vary when producing accurate law enforcement transcription services for police agencies. Twenty-four to forty-eight hours is the norm for a police transcription assignment of average length. However, it is not uncommon for bulk projects to take anywhere from one to two weeks.
Ditto Saves You Money With A Fast and Accurate Turnaround Time
The cost of using a high-quality transcription service provider might be one of your first thoughts when considering how to improve your documentation process. And thanks to budget cuts, it’s easy to think of paying per page as a less efficient solution over the long term. However, this is not necessarily as simple as it might appear.
When you do your own transcription, you pay for recording and playback devices and the technology and support. For every hour of recorded audio (i.e., dictated police reports), transcribing each file’s contents is one task that takes 10-15 times that. This often results in paying overtime as officers are bogged down with paperwork, spending too much time transcribing their reports. The result? Your law enforcement officers aren’t out in the field protecting the community.
That’s why dictating straight into the smartphones your officers already have and using Ditto to transcribe the audio is your best bet to save your department both time and money.
