The Challenge
This California Police Department serving a population of 200,000 has over 300 sworn officers. They started off in 2015 using SpeakWrite for Detectives, but expanded to Patrol officers and other personnel when they ran into staffing shortages.
This police department is a full dictation department and maintains an in-house word processing staff to complete reports and produce interview transcripts. However, when the department’s normal staff was cut in half due to promotions and other opportunities, they began to fall behind. That is when they turned to SpeakWrite to supplement their in- house team.
The Solution
SpeakWrite’s Law Enforcement Transcription Services was able to absorb the overflow work on an as-needed basis to ensure that criminal reports and interviews are returned to the officers on time. Detectives use SpeakWrite to transcribe difficult interviews, while field personnel submitted dictations when they needed a report returned quickly. “We encouraged field personnel to use this service whenever they needed a report quickly, or wanted to review a draft prior to final submission. We increased our users to accommodate that need in our department.”
By adding SpeakWrite to their current workflow, this department is saving on average 54 hours of employee time each month. That is almost seven 8-hour shifts per month that the department is not trying to fill while already being short staffed. When asked if this department would recommend SpeakWrite to a department like theirs, the admin said, “Do your research and really determine what type of return you are looking for. If you are looking for speedy returns, then SpeakWrite can assist you.”

Chula Vista Police Department
The Challenge
This police department in a city with a population of 200,000 has approximately 300 sworn officers. In 2016, the department sought a solution to help free up their detectives’ time, and that’s when they discovered SpeakWrite.
Before using SpeakWrite, detectives had to type up all of their interview and interrogation transcripts themselves. This took up a significant amount of their time and prevented them from focusing on their primary job, solving cases. Administrative tasks such as transcription were becoming a burden on their productivity, and the department needed to find a solution that could help them overcome this challenge.
The Solution
SpeakWrite’s Law Enforcement Transcription Services provided the department with a transcription service that allowed their detectives to generate accurate and timely transcripts of their interviews and interrogations without having to type them out themselves. By using SpeakWrite, the department’s detectives were freed up to work on their cases, allowing them to focus on solving crimes and bringing justice to the community.
The SpeakWrite solution proved to be a tremendous help to this department, with their detectives now able to spend more time working on cases and less time on administrative tasks. This has resulted in faster case resolution times and more efficient use of the detectives’ time. This police department has been using SpeakWrite since 2016, and their captain has recommended the service to others, stating, “Give it a try, I think you will be happy with their service.”
SpeakWrite has proven to be an invaluable tool for this department, helping to improve detective productivity and reduce administrative burden. By freeing up their detectives’ time, the department has been able to solve cases faster and more efficiently.
