CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland police say they hope to have all officers trained by the end of the year to file reports from their in-car computers in an effort to increase the time spent patrolling streets and decrease time filling out paperwork at the station.
Cleveland.com reports (https://bit.ly/2xCddph ) the field-based reporting system is a mandated part of a 2015 settlement that the city reached with the Justice Department to reform the police force.
In a video posted to Facebook on Wednesday, police officials say about 120 of the city’s 1,400 officers are currently trained to use the system.
