RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that a resolution be passed
allocating funds for the purchase of a Computer Aided
Transcription System, at a total cost not to exceed forty-six.
thousand six hundred dollars ($46,600), funding to be from the
Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001.
BACKGROUND:
The Miami Police Department currently utilizes stenographers in
its Criminal Investigation Division to assist in recording the
statements of witnesses and victims. These stenographers are
also responsible for the recording of supplemental reports
prepared by the investigating officers. The current process of
transcribing the stenographer's notes into a comprehensible
document is slow, repetitious, expensive and outdated.
The proposed computerized system would facilitate the.trans.lation
of the stenographer's notes into a readable document. The
computer translates the notes as they are being typed thereby
eliminating the need for the stenographer to perform the
translation and entry of the reports. This will also allow for +
the utilization of the stenographers in other` duties if
necessary. ;
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution authorizing
.the
allocation of funds for the purchase of a Computer Ai4e4
Transcription System, at a cost .not to exceed $46,600,-'-fun ding:to`
be from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001',
