“The detective took down his testimony on the spot”.
Is “tirato giù” a literal translation?

Interesting. It reminds me a little of “Mi butta giù!” (It really got me down!) so perhaps this is how a Detective would speak. Aspettiamo…

“Tirare” is a very versatile verb. Take a look at the variety of meanings on Wordreference, at least one of which will, er, raise an eyebrow.

Ciao @morbrorper A madrelingua commented “Dante si rivolta nella tomba :-D” Better to say “ha raccolto la testimonianza…” Evidently in Eastern Lombard dialects and in the Veneto, the “giú” is used a lot.
Interesting.
