Swedish Police chats with teenagers

Swedish Police have in coorporation with Indico Systems build a chat programme similar to the ones the teenagers use when they chat with each other on the Internet.

The object is to connect two computers, without any connection with another network so the Interviewing Officer can have a dialogue by chatting with the teenager. The chat will then be transcribed as an alternative to an ordinary dialogue interview. At the same time, a web camera in the computer and another camera installed in the room, will record the teenager. If the teenager manages to talk about the difficult things during the chat, the Interviewing Officer can take over and proceed with the interrogation the normal way and record it.

- The entire chat session will be recorded (Both the chat session [the text] and video of the person who sits at the computer)

- Indico will run on the Interviewing officers PC

- Indico PC will capture the screen of the chat PC as a video picture

- Indico will capture a picture of the person on the chat pc into a PiP

- The transcript/log from the chat session must be included in the Indico session

- The transcript/log from the chat session must be cleared between each interview
