From body-camera recording to first draft
CLIPr turns body-camera footage into a review-ready police report draft
Not a blank template. CLIPr transcribes and indexes the recording, then builds a populated narrative the officer verifies, edits and owns.
15-minute fit call. Fully subsidized 30-day pilot. No credit card required.
- CJIS Security Policy-aligned
- SOC 2 compliant architecture
- 6 U.S. patents, CLIPr-stated
- Patrol and interview room in one pilot
How CLIPr works
From recorded incident to officer-reviewed draft
Four clear steps. The recording stays connected to the facts, and the officer stays in control.
- 1
Upload the recording
Send audio or video from the body-camera platform already in use.
- 2
Transcribe and index
CLIPr makes the recording searchable by timestamp, topic and exchange.
- 3
Find and verify
Jump from transcript or Q&A cards back to the exact recorded moment.
- 4
Draft and review
CLIPr prepares the narrative; the officer verifies, edits and submits it.
Source-grounded drafting
Every key exchange, already indexed.
Find the moment. Verify the wording. Draft the report.
CLIPr connects searchable transcripts, topic markers and timestamped Q&A to the recording officers already captured.
Inside the workflow
See what happens at each step
A closer look at how CLIPr turns a recording into a source-grounded draft without removing the officer from authorship.
- 1
Send the recording in
Drag and drop audio or video from the body-worn camera platform you already run. There is no dock to install on day one and no camera to swap out.
- Mixed fleets are fine.CLIPr reads Axon Body 3 and Axon Body 4 footage the agency already records, so a department running two or three brands does not have to standardize first.
- The agency sets the rules. Departments choose which video types CLIPr auto-processes, so a shift can start with the report types that cost the most time and widen from there.
- What it takes to start: a recording and a browser. Confirm your exact camera, export format and evidence platform during evaluation.
The upload queue, live
- 2
The clip comes back timestamped and searchable
Every clip returns a timestamped, searchable transcript synced to the video, so the facts are addressable by time before anyone starts writing.
- Search in transcript finds the words. Jump to current snaps the video to the line being read, and the transcript downloads.
- A Topics Index breaks the call into named topic and subtopic segments, each with its own time range, so reviewers jump by marked moment instead of scrubbing.
- Where CLIPr helps: the detail a narrative turns on stops being something an officer has to remember and becomes something they can look up.
The transcript that comes back
- 3
Every question and answer is already indexed
Footage arrives pre-indexed into timestamped Question and Answer cards down the right rail, color-coded question against answer.
- Every card carries its own time range and its own download control, so a single exchange comes out without exporting the whole transcript.
- Interview room recordings get the same index. That is what turns a detective's backlog into something reviewable rather than something to re-watch.
- Where CLIPr helps: the exchange the narrative needs is found by reading a card, not by watching the recording a second time.
The index, as it arrives

CLIPr drafts. The officer reviews, edits and owns it.
CLIPr drafts the report and emails the officer when it is ready for review. The officer reads it against the footage, corrects it, and copies the finished report into the agency's RMS.
- Confidence transparency flags the words CLIPr is least sure of, so review time goes where the risk actually is instead of being spread evenly across the page.
- Speaker labels separate officer from subject, so an attributed line does not have to be reconstructed from memory.
- The agency's own format. A department admin trains CLIPr on it, and a CLIPr dictionary corrects repeated errors so they do not recur on later reports.
The review pass, confidence on
The draft is a starting point, not a filing
Output is an AI-assisted first draft, never a finished or filed report. Nothing leaves CLIPr as a completed document, and nothing is submitted without an officer reading it against the recording.
More than a blank police report template
A template gives an officer fields to fill. CLIPr starts with the actual body-camera recording, organizes the source material and prepares a populated first draft for officer review.
How authorship works in 
The officer reviews, edits and owns the final report.
- 1
The officer is the author of record
CLIPr produces a draft. The officer reads it against the recording, corrects it, and is the person who signs and submits.
- 2
The output is an AI-assisted first draft
It is never a finished or filed report, and it is never described as one.
- 3
The tool assists, it does not decide
AI does not supply observations, sensory detail, training-based inference, legal judgment, probable cause or credibility findings. Those stay with the officer.
- 4
The agency sets the policy
Departments choose which video types are auto-processed, and a department admin trains CLIPr on the agency's own report format.
Several states now require agencies to disclose when AI assisted in drafting a record. California SB 524 and Utah SB 180 are the two worth reading before you write your policy. Bring your prosecutor into the pilot rather than after it.
"This is a game changer. We can finally Protect more and Document less using CLIPr's Generative AI."

CLIPr turns body-camera recordings into searchable transcripts, indexed exchanges and an AI-assisted first draft, so officers spend less time rewatching footage and rebuilding the narrative from scratch.
Five questions to ask anything in this category
These are the questions worth asking, and CLIPr's answers to them. Ask the same five of every product you look at, including this one.
| Ask this | Why it matters |  The drafting layer, on the fleet you already run |
|---|---|---|
| Who is the author of record? | The first thing a prosecutor asks. It is also the objection that has stopped AI report deployments elsewhere. | The officer is the author of record. The officer reviews, edits and owns the final report.The output is an AI-assisted first draft, never a finished or filed report. |
| What does it need from our cameras? | A rip-and-replace answer turns a software decision into a capital project. | Drag and drop from the platform you already run. No dock on day one.CLIPr works across mixed fleets. Confirm your exact camera, export format and evidence platform during evaluation. |
| How does the report reach our RMS? | Copy and paste is a fine place to start and a poor place to stay. Ask what the next phase requires. | Copy and paste today.
|
| What does it cost per officer? | Per-seat pricing sets the annual number by headcount, not by how much documentation the agency produces. | Two commercial models.
|
| Where does it not fit? | Every tool has a boundary. Finding it before the pilot is cheaper than finding it during one. | A drafting layer, not a system of record.
|
CLIPr's pilot signup asks which RMS you run: Mark43, Tyler Technologies, Axon Records, Motorola PremierOne or CentralSquare. That is the enumerated list on the application, not an integration claim. CLIPr does not publish a subscription price for report drafting, and the pricing quotations above are CLIPr's own published wording.
Who this is for, and who it is not for
This is agency software, bought by an agency. Read the second column first and close the tab if that is you.
fits when
- Your officers record body-worn or in-car video, and the end of shift goes to the narrative box.
- You want the officer to stay the author of record on every report that gets filed.
- Your detectives have interview recordings sitting in a backlog. Patrol and interview room workflows are in the same pilot.
- You want to start without a dock, a camera swap or an IT project.
Probably not your tool when
- You want something that files the report without an officer reading it. That is not what this is.
- You are shopping for an RMS, CAD, evidence management system or camera hardware. CLIPr is none of those.
CLIPr states it is actively used by law enforcement agencies across the U.S. Agency size sets the size of the pilot cadre, not whether CLIPr fits.

The five questions that come up often
No. CLIPr produces an AI-assisted first draft from the recording and emails the officer when it is ready. The officer reviews it against the footage, edits it, and owns the report that is filed.
AI does not supply observations, sensory detail, training-based inference, legal judgment, probable cause or credibility findings.
A general-purpose chatbot or a free web form starts from whatever the officer types into it. CLIPr starts from the actual recording, and the draft arrives with the transcript, the Question and Answer index and the timestamps alongside it.
The rest is agency machinery those tools do not have: CJIS Security Policy-aligned handling, SOC 2 compliant architecture, department control over which video types are auto-processed, and an admin who trains CLIPr on the agency's own report format.
Not to start. Day one is drag and drop from the body-worn camera platform you already run, and CLIPr reads Axon Body 3 and Axon Body 4 footage the agency already records.
CLIPr works across mixed fleets, so confirm your exact camera, export format and evidence platform during evaluation rather than standardizing the fleet first.
Based on the objections that have stopped AI report deployments elsewhere, three things: who is the author of record, whether the officer reviewed the source recording, and what the agency's disclosure policy says.
California SB 524 and Utah SB 180 both address disclosure when AI assists in drafting a record. Bring your prosecutor into the pilot rather than after it.
After the fully subsidized 30-day pilot, choose predictable annual per-officer pricing based on observed usage or a shared prepaid-minute pool across the agency.
