SUPPORT OPERATIONS BUREAU
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
TRANSCRIPTION UNIT

The Administrative Support section staff perform clerical, inventory, budgeting, purchasing, and logistical functions for the entire Division.

The Transcription Section transcribes dictation regarding criminal and non-criminal investigations from multiple types of media, (i.e., CD's, DVD's, VHS tapes, micro cassettes). The dictations are submitted by Special Agents of the DCI. The "original" transcribed cases are maintained within DCI Headquarters and date back as far as 1939. These reports are critical documents for prosecutors in criminal cases and for the Racing and Gaming Commission for the purposes of maintaining integrity in Iowa's Gaming Industry. For fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, the Transcription section transcribed more than 2,200 pieces of dictation.
