Notes
Manchester Ink Link reported on 6 November 2025 that Lt. Matthew Barter described to the police Community Advisory Board on 5 November an earlier six-week pilot of Axon Draft One, which drafts an incident report from body-camera audio, in which 87 officers took part and half were given access to the software. According to the article, officers felt the software was helpful and quicker, but Barter said 'We found no difference' in the time spent writing reports and 'It was not what we expected at all', and raised the question 'Who is writing the report? The officer or AI'. The article says the department was the first in the country to use Draft One and that the pilot programme was funded by a federal Bureau of Justice Assistance SMART Policing Program grant. It describes the Draft One pilot as finished and says officers were by then testing a different tool, PoliceNarratives.AI. The article does not give pilot dates.
