i do this on occasion for local law enforcement agencies.

if this is for a police agency, then the "fidelity" doesn't matter, just intelligibility. do extreme bandpassing & eq, then de-noise that. often, i'll find myself using multiple instances of a denoise plug... denoise, then eq, then denoise, then declick, etc. etc. play around with your "signal flow" until you get the best results. you can download the sony oxford restoration plugs for 15 days--they're pretty remarkable, and it's a really easy demo process (unlike waves... who want a blood sample, semen sample, etc.). if you get a good check from the job, consider buying the plugs... karma and all ;-)
