Police Radio Communications Transcription Services

Police Radio Communication Transcription Like No Other

Police radio communication is vital and indispensable for law enforcement agencies. Radios are one of the most critical tools police officers use to coordinate field activities, summon rapid responses, relay vital information, and broadcast alarms and safety calls daily. It’s no exaggeration to say that there have been instances wherein a single radio call meant the difference between life and death. That’s why keeping track of radio communications is essential, even from a clerical perspective—and this is where law enforcement transcription services like Ditto can help.

It takes 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 us, a reliable and accurate transcription company with a spotless reputation for law enforcement transcription?

Why Outsource Police Radio Communication Transcription 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 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 For Police Radio Transcripts

Sure, AI and other automated transcription technologies 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 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 promptly. 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 police radio communication recordings, and we’ll send you your transcripts quickly —no fuss, no muss.
