Resolution Upgrading and
Expanding the Computer Aided
Transcription system
REFERENCES:
It is respectfully requested that a Resolution authorizing the
expansion and upgrade of the Computer Aided Transcription System,
for use by the Miami Police Department's Homicide Unit and
Internal Affairs Section, at a cost not to exceed $45,000, and
allocating funds therefor from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, be
approved.
The Miami Police Department is compelled by the Criminal Justice
System to promptly supply detailed witness statements and
investigative reports. This is necessary to successfully
prosecute homicides and other criminal activity investigated by
the Homicide Unit and Internal Affairs Section.
To assist with this task the police department purchased a
Computer Aided Transcription System from Stenocat. This system
electronically transcribes stenographic materials by computer and
reduces the stenographer's work significantly. The upgraded
system has enhancements that will increase effectiveness even
= more, and add additional workstations for the increased volume of
transcriptions.
It is therefore, recommended that a Resolution authorizing the
upgrade and expansion of the Computer Aided Transcription System,
at a cost not to exceed $45,000, and allocating funding therefor
from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001, Index
Code 029002-247, be approved.
