TechHalo Summary
Officers at Fort Collins Police Department are cutting report-writing time by nearly 70% thanks to Axon’s Draft One, an AI-powered tool that generates first-draft police reports from bodycam audio. Initially tested by about 70 officers and now used department-wide, the system lets officers request a transcript-based draft within seconds of an incident. After reviewing and editing the auto-generated text, officers finalize the report themselves. Draft One is gaining momentum across the U.S. as departments seek efficiency amid staffing shortages, with early adoption in cities like Tampa, Lafayette, and Campbell. Axon says Draft One is its fastest-growing product, aiming to give officers more time for calls, community policing, and case prep.
