Where I worked we gave up trying to have police officers write reports. Their handwriting, spelling, and structure was horrible. It was so bad people laughed at the reports. Only a handful could write a decent report. All of these officers had high school degrees and some had college degrees. Generally, they couldn't write. So, we had them carry inexpensive tape recorders and dictate their reports to be typed by typists. I suppose in your world, they were still "writing" their reports.
