Law Enforcement Transcription Rates – CJIS compliant
Our basic rates are classified into three categories: A, B and C.
Category A: A one-person dialogue recorded in digital format. This may be a single person narrative, i.e., an officer’s traffic report, a crime scene report, detective case notes, etc. This category also includes one-on-one interviews/interrogations of witnesses, suspects, victims, et al., involved in a case.
Category B: Verbatim interviews with no more than three people. Difficult audio with significant background noise and speakers that are difficult to understand (i.e. poor recording, soft voices, etc.). Interviews with three or more people can be more difficult to transcribe because of over talk, mic proximity, etc. Heavy accents and whispering will also fall in this category.
Category C: Four or more speakers. Scientific terminology or very thick accents. Conference calls. Undercover wires that have multiple speakers. This type of audio is hard to determine without hearing the actual audio.
