15-minute fit call. Free 30 to 90 day pilot for up to 50 officers, subject to approval. No credit card required.- No camera swap to start
- No per-officer license
- CJIS Security Policy-aligned
- SOC 2 compliant architecture
Sixty seconds, then decide
Who this is for, and who it is not for
"Law enforcement software" covers dispatch, records, jail management, evidence lockers, scheduling and license plate readers. CLIPr is one narrow slice of that, so here is the slice.
CLIPr fits when
- Your officers record body-worn or in-car video, and the end of shift goes to the narrative box.
- You already have an RMS and you are not looking to replace it.
- You want to add one capability without an IT project, a dock or a camera swap.
- You buy under a chief's or sheriff's signing authority, or you want to prove value before the next budget cycle.
Probably not your tool when
- You need computer-aided dispatch, records management, jail management, scheduling, evidence lockers or license plate recognition. CLIPr is none of those.
- You are replacing a whole stack and want one vendor to carry all of it.
- You need the finished report pushed straight into your RMS on day one. That depends on the RMS vendor, the API, a security review and a contract.
- You want something that files the report without an officer reading it. That is not what this is.
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.
Where this sits
Six layers get called law enforcement software. CLIPr is one of them.
Most departments already own several of these. The useful question is not which vendor is best, it is which layer is missing.
Layer 1
Records management (RMS)
Where the finished report is stored, searched and reported onward to state and federal systems. You almost certainly already have one. CLIPr is not one and does not want to be.
Layer 2
Computer-aided dispatch (CAD)
Where calls come in, get assigned and get tracked in real time. Different system, different vendor, different procurement. CLIPr does not touch it.
Layer 3
Digital evidence management (DEMS)
Where video, audio and photos are retained, shared with prosecutors and eventually purged. CLIPr reads a copy of what you already store. It does not replace the system of retention.
Layer 4
Cameras and the camera platform
The hardware on the officer and the software behind it. CLIPr sells no cameras. CLIPr's homepage names fifteen camera and evidence vendors it works across, including Axon, Motorola, Getac Video Solutions, Utility Associates, i-PRO and WOLFCOM.
Layer 5
Transcription
Vendors that return a transcript, usually billed per minute. CLIPr produces a transcript too, but treats it as an intermediate artifact on the way to a draft rather than the deliverable.
Layer 6, this is CLIPr
Report drafting
Body-worn camera audio in, an AI-assisted first draft out, and the officer reviewing, editing and owning the report that gets filed. That is the whole product.
Camera and evidence vendors are named as compatibility facts from CLIPr's own homepage, verified 2026-08-09, and imply no endorsement or partnership in either direction. Confirm your exact camera, export format and evidence platform during evaluation.
How it works
Three steps, and the third one is an officer
Nothing here needs a dock, a new camera or a change to your RMS on day one.
Drag and drop the footage
Upload audio or video from the body-worn camera platform you already run. Departments choose which video types are processed automatically, so you can start with one report type and widen later.
There is no dock to install on day one and no camera to swap out.
The clip comes back indexed
Every clip returns a timestamped, searchable transcript synced to the video, a Topics Index of named topic and subtopic segments, and Question and Answer cards with their own time ranges.
A supervisor reviewing a report against the footage jumps by marked moment instead of scrubbing through the recording.
CLIPr drafts. The officer reviews, edits and owns it.
CLIPr drafts the report and emails the officer when it is ready. The officer reads it against the footage, corrects it, and copies the finished report into the agency's RMS.
A department admin can train CLIPr on the agency's own report format, and a CLIPr dictionary corrects repeated errors so they do not recur on later reports.
Copy and paste is the honest day-one answer
Getting the finished report into the RMS starts as copy and paste. A direct push depends on the RMS vendor, the API, a security review and contract terms, and it is not available by default.
CLIPr's pilot signup asks which RMS you run: Mark43, Tyler Technologies, Axon Records, Motorola PremierOne or CentralSquare.
Author of record
The question your prosecutor will ask about any of this
Whichever layer you buy, the report is the artifact that ends up in a case file. Who wrote it should not be an open question.
How authorship works in CLIPr
The officer reviews, edits and owns the final report.
- 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.
- The output is an AI-assisted first draft. It is never a finished or filed report, and it is never described as one.
- 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.
- The agency sets the policy. Departments choose which video types are processed automatically, 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, and Utah's requires every agency in the state to have a written generative AI policy at all.
Measure it on your own reports, not on a slide
CLIPr publishes a reduction in report writing time of up to 50%. Independent research on AI report drafting has not consistently found time savings, so run the pilot and measure your own before-and-after rather than taking any vendor's number on faith.
How a department this size actually buys
Most agencies here do not run an RFP, and they should not have to
Nine in ten US police departments have fewer than 100 sworn officers. The buying motion that fits them is a signature and a pilot, not a twelve-month procurement.
The math
Usage, not headcount
There is no per-officer license. CLIPr's published position is to pay only for what you need, with pricing that adapts to actual utilization and underutilized capacity carried forward to the next budget year.
The path
No RFP needed in most cases
At this size the purchase usually sits under a chief's or sheriff's signing authority. Run the pilot first, then price the annual total against a number you have already measured yourself.
The timing
A pilot fits inside the current fiscal year
Thirty to ninety days is enough to produce your own measurement before the budget conversation, instead of asking for money against a vendor's number.
How to buy this, in order
1. Take the 15-minute fit call and confirm your cameras, your RMS and your sworn count. 2. Run the pilot on real reports with a small cadre. 3. Ask for the annual total in writing, not a seat price. 4. Sign under existing authority if the total sits below your threshold, or take the measured result into the next budget cycle if it does not.
CLIPr does not publish subscription pricing for police report automation, so the annual total comes from your own processed volume rather than from a rate card.
| Duration | 30 to 90 days. |
| Officers included | Up to 50 officers. The pilot cadre is usually smaller and scaled to the agency. |
| Cost | Free. No credit card required. |
| What you need | Recordings from the cameras you already run, and officers who will use the review step. |
| How it starts | A 15-minute fit call, then pilot setup, subject to approval. |

Questions chiefs and IT ask first
The five that come up on every call
No. The officer copies the finished report into whatever RMS you already run, and that is a valid way to run a pilot and a valid way to run day one.
A direct push into the RMS is a later phase and depends on the RMS vendor, the API, a security review and contract terms. CLIPr's pilot signup asks which RMS you run: Mark43, Tyler Technologies, Axon Records, Motorola PremierOne or CentralSquare.
None of them, and it does not replace any of them. CLIPr is the drafting layer that sits on recordings you already store and produces the first draft of the narrative.
If the gap on your desk is dispatch, records or evidence retention, a different category of vendor is the right answer and this is not it.
CLIPr does not publish subscription pricing for police report automation. The model is usage-based rather than per-officer, and CLIPr's published position is that underutilized capacity carries forward to the next budget year.
Practically, that means a 20-officer department is not paying for 20 seats regardless of use. Run the pilot, then ask for the annual total against the volume you actually processed.
No. The pilot covers up to 50 officers and the cadre is usually smaller than that, scaled to the agency, so a department with a dozen sworn can run it properly.
CLIPr states it is actively used by law enforcement agencies across the U.S., and larger agencies review the architecture and deployment model on their own terms. Size sets the shape of the deployment, not the answer.
Recordings you can export, a browser, and officers who will use the review step. CLIPr works across mixed fleets, so a department running two or three camera brands does not have to standardize first.
Confirm your exact camera, export format and evidence platform during evaluation. If your state or your agency requires a written generative AI policy, get that started in parallel with the pilot rather than after it.
Add one layer, keep everything else
Fifteen minutes is enough to tell whether a pilot makes sense for your agency. Bring your camera platform, your RMS and your sworn count.
15-minute fit call. Free 30 to 90 day pilot for up to 50 officers, subject to approval. No credit card required.There is a separate self-serve route. If your department has fewer than 50 sworn officers and recently upgraded, or is about to upgrade, its mobile data terminals (MDTs) through a reseller partner, you qualify for a self-serve 30-day trial at app.clipr.ai/agencysignup. Every other agency should use the fit call above.
