How Pocatello PD Cut Report Writing Time by 75% with Code Four

The Challenge

Pocatello PD officers were spending 2-3 hours writing reports for incidents that lasted minutes. The body camera system, i-PRO, captured everything, but extracting value from the footage was entirely manual and time-consuming. Officers would finish a shift and then spend hours writing reports before they could go home.

This was not just an efficiency problem. Tired officers make mistakes. Important details get missed or misremembered. And every hour spent writing reports is an hour not spent on patrol, follow-up investigations, or community engagement.

The Solution

Code Four integrated directly with Pocatello's i-PRO body camera system, automatically ingesting footage and analyzing it frame by frame. The system identifies key events, stops, conversations, actions taken, evidence collected, and generates a comprehensive timeline with timestamps.

Most importantly, Code Four produces a first draft of the incident report. Officers review and refine the draft rather than starting from a blank page. The AI catches details that might otherwise be missed, and the entire workflow fits naturally into how officers already work.

The Code Four team spent several days embedded with the department, sleeping on the station floor, to truly understand their workflows before building the integration.

The Results

Report writing time dropped by an average of 75%. Officers are getting home to their families hours earlier. Report quality and comprehensiveness actually improved because the AI catches details that might otherwise be missed.

When asked if they would want to go back to the old way, the response from officers was unanimous disbelief.
