It is the Homicide Bureau policy not to routinely transcribe interviews when completing deputy/officer involved books. The interviews are to be recorded and the recordings made a permanent part of the file. The interviews will be summarized in reports.
If the District Attorney's Office requests that interviews be transcribed, the Team Lieutenant will contact the concerned attorney, determine the appropriateness of the request and advise him/her of the expense in materials and time involved. We will cooperate whenever the Lieutenant concurs and approves that the transcription is needed.
Transcription of interviews shall be minimized whenever possible.
