Police Radio Communications

Radio communication is vital and indispensable for law enforcement agencies. Radios are one of the most important tools – police officers have used for coordinating field activities, summoning rapid responses, relaying vital information, and broadcasting alarms and safety calls daily. It’s no exaggeration that there have been instances wherein a single radio call had meant the difference between life and death.

That’s why keeping track of radio communications is important, even from a clerical perspective. And it will take serious manpower to transcribe, proofread, digitize, and file the hundreds of hours of radio recordings that any police department builds up over time. Our boys in blue have enough paperwork on their desks, so why put additional strain on them when you can hire a reliable and accurate transcription company with a spotless reputation for law enforcement transcription?

Why outsource to law enforcement transcription experts?

Efficiency is the name of the game, and you don’t need to hire, vet, and train in-house transcriptionists to handle radio communications and any other type of police recordings. Aside from the onboarding costs, your agency must provide the new employees with sick days and vacation leave, meaning more resources and effort spent on something you could easily outsource. 

Ditto Transcripts has been in the business for 14+ years, providing reliable transcription services to all manner of agencies, from federal agencies and sheriff’s offices to your local police department. We offer accurate law enforcement transcription services at affordable prices and quick turnaround times.

Nothing beats the human touch

Sure, A.I. and other automated transcription technology are widely available, but using them presents a set of challenges that, frankly, aren’t worth the headache. Automated transcription doesn’t have what it takes to create accurate transcriptions from audio recordings taken in nonideal conditions. 

Radio communications transcriptions are particularly susceptible to errors, especially when dealing with files with a lot of background noise, overlapping voices due to the number of speakers, and unstable audio quality. This could lead to inaccurate transcripts that need to be heavily edited by your staff, causing increased delays and unnecessary costs.  

Here at Ditto, we pride ourselves on only hiring U.S.-based human transcription experts with years of experience. We put our client’s transcription needs above everything else, ensuring intelligent verbatim and accurate transcripts, all done in a timely manner. Our law enforcement transcriptionists are trained to handle multimedia transcription, 911 calls, single-person narratives, bodycam footage, files with multiple speakers, or even files that others have found “difficult to transcribe.” 

Give us your files, and we’ll get you your transcripts back to you in no time. No fuss, no muss.
