Overview

• Police departments including Fort Collins, Lafayette, Tampa and Campbell report up to 70 percent reductions in report-writing time after deploying Draft One.
• Axon built Draft One on a modified OpenAI model that it says is calibrated to reduce hallucinations and triggers bracketed fields to prompt officer review.
• CNN observed that officers can remove all prepopulated prompts and submit AI-generated drafts unchanged while the original draft is erased upon final submission.
• The King County Prosecutor’s Office has declined to accept AI-assisted reports and Utah now mandates AI-use disclaimers on finalized police reports.
• Legal experts and civil rights advocates warn that transcription errors, potential bias and lack of transparency continue to challenge the tool’s reliability and admissibility in court.
