Law Enforcement Interview Recording Systems—How Does Yours Add Up?

The various law enforcement interview recording systems available today are certainly a step up from the VHS tapes we relied on years ago. We have high-definition video and super-clear audio recording options, so it makes sense that most agencies think their current process is good as-is. But in reality, we should always pursue new ways to collect even more accurate evidence for the court. There’s no reason to sit back and pass up the opportunity for improvement. Today’s law enforcement interview recording systems still require a little troubleshooting.

Interview Evidence Recording Challenges

We can’t deny that HD cameras and modern microphones have brought the quality of interview recordings to new heights in the past couple of decades. Yet some concerns still linger. Without the proper room setup, the law enforcement interview recording systems that we’re using now might actually be worse than in years past.

Obviously audio video quality is key. However, that’s just one piece of the puzzle. LE teams need to ensure that their interviews are conducted in the right spaces, with their cameras positioned at the right angles and their microphones set to record the right sounds. Your interview evidence can’t be compromised with loud voices or noises coming from the hallway. (Not to mention the extra sounds when the room hasn’t been outfitted for echo elimination.)

As for the HD cameras, you’ll want to make sure nothing gets missed when your interview subject presents unique visual cues. It’s not just about the words being said during the interview. The more information the court has to review, the better. How a witness, victim, or suspect sits and repositions their body throughout the conversation can lead to new insights for the court’s ruling. Agencies are sure to face challenges if they aren’t providing the most accurate evidence. That’s why their interview room setup is so important.
