Field, law, warrants, reports — one app built for the shift. Officer One is built by bigBespoke LLC, a private company. It is not a government app, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government entity, court, or law enforcement agency. All legal text in the app comes from the official government sources listed at the end of this description. WARRANTS BY VOICE Talk through the stop like you would on the radio. Officer One fills every blank on the state form as you speak. Upload your court's own PDF once and every warrant lands on the judge's exact form. You confirm every field. You swear. You print. WHAT'S THE CHARGE? Tell it what happened. It lays out the charges that fit, every element each one requires, which elements your words already carry, and what's still missing. When the facts don't make the charge, it says so. It never tells you to arrest anyone — that call stays with you. THE WHOLE LAW BOOK, OFFLINE Every section of the criminal code, criminal procedure, and the rules of the road for forty-nine states and D.C., each from the legislature's own publication. Searchable official text on your phone — dead zones don't blank it. New states land every day. Share a statute and it opens for the other officer, cited. NARRATIVES THAT HOLD UP Speak the facts and get a first-person draft that keeps the beats your case type needs. Your original is always preserved. You edit, you sign. SCRIPTS AND WALKTHROUGHS Miranda with the juvenile variant and court-safe Spanish. Consent. Implied consent with the real cost of refusal. DUI, blood draw, K9 timing, traffic stops. FTO SHEETS Daily observation reports on the San Jose scale — signable PDFs, no printer. YOUR WORK IS YOURS Everything you make stays readable and exportable on your account, even if your subscription ends. Officer One is a reference and drafting tool for sworn law enforcement officers. It is not legal advice and it never replaces your agency's policy, your training, or your judgment. Independent product, not affiliated with any government agency. SUBSCRIPTION The first seven days are free on a first subscription. Then $8.99 a month or $88.99 a year through the App Store, renewing automatically until you cancel; cancel inside the week and nothing is charged.
