About

CapturePatrol

Features
Read full description

CapturePatrol is the intelligent field documentation platform built exclusively for law enforcement officers. Capture field encounters, generate legally defensible incident reports, and manage case files — all from your mobile device. FIELD RECORDING & TRANSCRIPTION Record subject interviews, field encounters, and witness statements. AI automatically transcribes every recording using Soniox, the leading law enforcement speech recognition engine, and generates structured incident reports ready for departmental submission. GPS LOCATION TAGGING Every recording automatically captures your GPS coordinates, linking each encounter to an exact location for court documentation and case mapping. MIRANDA & LEGAL COMPLIANCE Walk through a structured Miranda rights checklist before any subject interview. Each completed checklist is permanently saved to the encounter record, protecting you and ensuring due process. USE-OF-FORCE REPORTING A five-step guided workflow walks you through every required field: incident details, subject description, resistance type, force applied, injuries, medical attention, and supervisor notification — all saved as a formal report. SHIFT LOG Start your shift, log every call, traffic stop, incident, and admin activity throughout the day, and end with an auto-compiled shift summary. Past shifts are archived for review. EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT Capture photos and videos directly from the field and attach them to any case. Every evidence item has a full chain-of-custody audit trail tracking collection, transfer, storage, court submission, and release. SUPERVISOR REVIEW & APPROVAL Submit generated reports to a supervisor for review. Supervisors can approve or reject with comments. Approval status is tracked in real time. CROSS-REFERENCE SEARCH Search across every case, transcript, document, involved party, and note simultaneously. Find any name, vehicle description, or location across your entire case history in one search. REAL-TIME TRANSLATION Communicate with non-English speaking subjects using live bidirectional translation across 20+ languages. Translated conversations are saved with the encounter record. AI-POWERED REPORT GENERATION Generate incident reports, arrest reports, witness statement summaries, and case summaries automatically from your recordings. Templates are customizable by department administrators. CAD / RMS EXPORT Export generated reports as NIBRS-compatible XML or CSV files for direct import into your department's Records Management System. CASE MANAGEMENT Organize all recordings, documents, and evidence by case. Track case status (open, closed, pending), threat level, involved parties, crime scene locations, and protective orders. SECURE BY DESIGN All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Row-Level Security ensures officers can only access their own records. Organization administrators control access and permissions. AI consent is managed per-user. DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD Works in low-connectivity environments with offline recording queuing and automatic sync. Background recording keeps capturing audio even when your screen is locked. CapturePatrol is a documentation assistance tool. Officers should always follow department policies, exercise professional judgment, and review all AI-generated content before submission.
