Digital Witness Statements (DWS)

Beta This service is under development.

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.

DWS software

Digital Witness Statements is currently in development as part of the PatrolNet software suite.

What the software supports

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.

Important

DWS is an independent tool designed to assist with drafting statements. It does not replace official systems or procedures used by police forces.

Part of PatrolNet

DWS is part of the PatrolNet portfolio of operational software developed by Mestro, alongside tools including vCheck and Sentinel.
