Narrative AI vs Code Four

Code Four drafts reports by analyzing body-worn camera footage, audio and video together, from any camera provider, alongside dispatch context and officer notes. Narrative AI drafts from what the officer dictates, so it works the same on calls with no footage, costs about half as much per officer, and audits every draft for liability before it is filed.

Everything stated about Code Four below comes from its own published pages or public contracts, listed at the bottom, and was checked in November 2026.
