"The Anchorage Police Department (APD) has concluded its three-month trial of Axon’s Draft One, an AI system that uses audio from body-worn cameras to write narrative police reports for officers—and has decided not to retain the technology. Axon touts this technology as “force multiplying,” claiming it cuts in half the amount of time officers usually spend writing reports—but APD disagrees.

The APD deputy chief told Alaska Public Media, “We were hoping that it would be providing significant time savings for our officers, but we did not find that to be the case.” The deputy chief flagged that the time it took officers to review reports cut into the time savings from generating the report. The software translates the audio into narrative, and officers are expected to read through the report carefully to edit it, add details, and verify it for authenticity. Moreover, because the technology relies on audio from body-worn cameras, it often misses visual components of the story that the officer then has to add themselves."

2025 Iditarod Ceremonial Start in Anchorage. Almost no snow in Anchorage, so shortening the route considerably meant bigger crowds downtown. 33 teams this year, the smallest field ever with 16 rookies. They had to move the real start to Fairbanks on Monday and change the race route because of lack of snow. #Alaska #Anchorage #Iditarod2025

The dog team of Jason Mackey mushes down 4th Avenue in Anchorage during the Ceremonial Start of the raced. Snow that was trucked in forms a track in the street for the dogs. Big crowds line the sidewalks. The Anchorage Hilton rises in the background.
Happy dogs! The team of Mike Parker heads down Cordova Street. Mike high fives spectators along the street. His all-white dog team runs with black booties. Floppy pink tongues out.
Sprinting sled dogs fill the frame.
