Police use-of-force record review services build the injury record into a cited timeline: the first medical contact and its documented mechanism, every photograph and imaging study, and the treatment course, set against the incident chronology. Mechanism opinions stay with your experts.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In use-of-force cases the legal standard and the documentation method are both published, and the referee is a federal court applying them to this record. The standard and the referee The rulebook - 42 U.S.C. §1983 and the objective reasonableness standard of Graham v. Connor, under which what the officers perceived and what the body shows are separate questions on the same record - The Istanbul Protocol, 2022 edition, whose method for documenting injuries inflicted by state actors applies to custodial and use-of-force injury regardless of the forum - The Minnesota Protocol on the Investigation of Potentially Unlawful Death and the NAME Forensic Autopsy Performance Standards, where the encounter was fatal - Fed. R. Evid. 702 as amended in December 2023, under which a mechanism of injury opinion has to be reliably applied to this record The referee - The federal district court at summary judgment on qualified immunity, which reads the medical record against the force the officers say they used - The medical examiner or coroner in a death case, whose manner of death finding the case either adopts or has to overcome - A monitor under a consent decree or a Department of Justice pattern or practice review, which read the same records across incidents rather than one at a time An injury record never lined up against the incident timeline From 10¢ to as low as 5¢/page here, duplicates free Injury and force timeline · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged First documented mechanism — Carried verbatim from the first medical contact — cited Injury inventory — Every finding, photograph and imaging study — cited Account conflicts — Where the records describe the mechanism differently — flagged Timeline delivered · cited 100% · no mechanism opinion How it works ### 3 steps between the incident file and the timeline. 01 #### Send the incident file EMS and jail intake records, emergency department and hospital charts, imaging, clinical photographs, and the autopsy where there is one, in any format. 02 #### We return the timeline, page-cited Every injury documented at each contact, the mechanism as each provider recorded it, the imaging and photographs, and the treatment course from first contact forward. 03 #### Your experts take it from there How each injury was produced, and whether the force used was objectively reasonable, are questions for your medical and police practices experts. The boundary, in writing ### A timeline of the injury record, not an opinion on the force used. We assemble and cite what the medical and forensic records document. We do not opine on how an injury was produced, whether the force was reasonable, or whether an officer’s account is truthful. Those belong to your retained experts and to the court. In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In a custodial file that error moves an injury onto the wrong person, so it is quarantined rather than reconciled quietly.

IN ACTION · timeline → expert packet ](https://medrecords.ai/product/summaries/) [ #### Medical Record Deduplication Forty charts pulled from multiple practices and EHR migrations carry their share of duplicate visit notes. Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter. IN ACTION · 40 charts → duplicate visit notes collapsed to 1 record each ](https://medrecords.ai/product/medical-record-deduplication/) [ #### Missing Records Identification A prescribing pattern read across 40 charts is only as sound as the file behind it. When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission ](https://medrecords.ai/product/missing-records-identification/) [ #### Cross-Exam Simulator (beta) A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern → likely hearing questions mapped (beta) ](https://medrecords.ai/product/cross-exam-simulator/) FAQ ### Police use-of-force record review, answered. No. We carry the mechanism verbatim from each medical record and flag where the accounts differ. A mechanism of injury opinion is expert testimony, offered under Rule 702 by a qualified physician or forensic pathologist. Because it is usually recorded before anyone has a legal theory. What EMS or jail intake wrote down, and when, is the least contested description of the injury in the file, which is why it belongs at the head of the timeline with its page attached. The autopsy findings and the certified manner of death are carried verbatim and placed beside the clinical record, with conflicts flagged. We do not contradict the medical examiner. A competing opinion is expert testimony from a qualified forensic pathologist. No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes. ### Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read. No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
