Several police departments, including the Oklahoma City Police Department, have begun using artificial intelligence tools to produce first drafts of police reports. Products such as Draft One, developed by the company Axon, generate text in seconds using audio captured by body camera microphones. Law enforcement officers have welcomed the technology for saving time on tedious data entry and accurately capturing details from incidents. Conversely, some prosecutors, legal scholars, and police watchdog organisations have expressed concerns over how AI-created details in police reports could influence criminal investigations and trials.
