While law enforcement transcription is a bit more difficult to transcribe than certain other types of transcription, usually due to poor audio quality, sometimes much speaker overlapping, and background noise, it is also much more colorful and interesting than most all other kinds of transcription. There is never a dull moment with this type of transcription work!
You will be taken into the subculture world of criminals, gangs, and corruption. If you like to snoop on phone calls just to see what someone is saying, you will probably love transcribing 911 calls or calls from jail (Oops, did he just confess to his grandma on the phone? BUSTED!).
