How It Works
From field notes to review-ready draft.
See how IncidentDraft helps turn structured details and messy officer notes into a draft narrative the officer can review before RMS handoff.
Workflow
A practical path from incident capture to RMS handoff.
One drafting workflow, shaped around the steps officers, supervisors, and records teams expect before RMS handoff.
Start with your notes
Choose the report template and enter the incident details in your own words using Quick Notes or Dictate.
Generate a draft
Review the proposed narrative alongside the information you provided.
Clarify what needs clarification
When a material detail needs clarification, review a focused follow-up question. A complete block may need no questions.
Review proposed changes
Compare the original and revised wording. Accept the changes you intend to keep; reject or correct the rest.
Complete your review and copy the narrative
Verify the finished draft before copying it into your RMS.
Illustrative example
Clarify your observations—not a checklist of suggested answers.
Officer's note
I observed damage to the rear door.
Clarifying question
What damage did you observe on the rear door?
Why asked: Your note identifies damage but does not describe it.
Officer's answer
The wooden frame was split next to the strike plate.
Proposed revision
I observed that the wooden frame of the rear door was split next to the strike plate.
