Fayetteville Police Department partnered with Code Four to revolutionize report writing for patrol officers and Major Crimes detectives, resulting in measurable crime reduction across the city.
The Challenge
Fayetteville PD's officers were spending hours writing reports for incidents that lasted minutes. Major Crimes detectives faced even greater documentation burdens—complex investigations requiring detailed reports that could take an entire shift to complete.
This administrative workload meant less time on the streets, slower case closures, and detectives buried in paperwork instead of solving crimes.
The Code Four Solution
We deployed our AI-powered report writing platform across Fayetteville PD, with a particular focus on their Major Crimes unit.
AI Report Writing for Patrol
Our platform analyzes body camera footage and automatically generates comprehensive incident reports. Officers review and approve the AI-generated drafts rather than starting from scratch, cutting report writing time by over 75%.
Major Crimes Investigation Support
For Major Crimes detectives, we implemented advanced capabilities that handle the complexity of serious investigations. The AI processes multiple evidence sources—body camera footage, interview recordings, surveillance video—and synthesizes them into detailed investigative reports.
What used to take detectives hours now takes minutes.
Results
The impact on Fayetteville has been significant:
Patrol officers gained back hours each week previously spent on reports
Major Crimes case documentation time reduced dramatically
Detectives can now handle more active investigations simultaneously
Faster case closures leading to quicker justice for victims
More officers on patrol and in the community
Community Impact
With officers spending less time behind desks and more time in neighborhoods, Fayetteville has seen tangible results. More patrol presence means faster response times and greater community engagement. More detective capacity means cases get solved faster.
The crime reduction isn't just about enforcement—it's about having the resources to actually do the job. When detectives aren't drowning in paperwork, they can focus on what matters: solving crimes and keeping the community safe.
Looking Forward
Our partnership with Fayetteville continues to grow. We're grateful for their trust and their commitment to using technology to better serve their community.
