Software To Cut Form-Filling Time - Police - FOI Request

Liz R (Account suspended) made this Freedom of Information request to National Policing Improvement Agency

The request was successful.

Dear National Policing Improvement Agency,

Is software being used to cut to the cost of police time in
form-filling? I am hoping to help present to you an idea for a
fairly simple software that simply states the type of crime and
gives options, culminating in a printable crime report with room
for any additional comments prior to the officers' signature. This
is roughly estimated to cut police form-filling time by
approximately 70% speaking generally, if such software can be
developed by the Polices' own IT teams, all the better, do let me
know if I can assist, meantime, is there any restriction on
software for the police? I noted that local social work departments
use the very best voice to text 'DRAGON- naturally speaking' which
speeds up reports considerably also- do the police who have to
write reports have access to this software also please?

Thanks for your time

Yours faithfully,

Liz R
