Digital Witness Statements (DWS)

Capture witness statements digitally

Digital Witness Statements (DWS) supports structured capture of witness accounts using guided inputs designed to assist with the creation of MG11 witness statements.

The service helps reduce transcription time and supports the creation of clear, structured statements that can be exported or transferred into case management systems.

What the software supports

• Structured witness details capture
• Chronological narrative input
• Automated formatting aligned with MG11 structure
• Clear, consistent statement layout
• Export to document format for review or submission

Application interface

Below are examples of the Digital Witness Statements interface used to capture and manage witness accounts.

Witness List
The witness list displays all witness records and will indicate how many statements are on record. Users can quickly review existing entries, add new witnesses, or select a witness to begin capturing or editing their statement.

Statement Input
The guided statement input interface allows officers to record the witness account in a structured chronological format. Prompts help ensure key details are captured clearly to support accurate MG11 statement preparation.

Why structured statements matter

Witness accounts can be complex and time-consuming to record accurately. Structured input helps ensure important details are captured clearly and in a consistent format.

This reduces editing time later and helps maintain clarity when statements are reviewed during investigations or court proceedings.
