Notes
The Hartford Courant, in an article of 20 April 2026 republished by Police1, reported that the Connecticut State Police have a ten-year, $120 million contract with Axon, with options for items such as drones and Tasers that activate body cameras, and that 'Draft One AI report writing software amounts to a relatively small portion of the state police contract'. A State Police captain, Ryan Maynard, said the software generates reports only from body-camera audio and requires officer input at several points: 'It is not going to fill in gaps.' The article says senior officers were reluctant to discuss AI, 'saying whatever plans they have are on hold' pending the results of any inquiry during the statewide moratorium on AI programs 'to draft, author and/or narrate criminal reports', which the State Police support. It does not say that the State Police have used the tool, so the record is proposed on the basis of the contract.
