CrimePad® is the professional-grade app to bring the power of today's best mobile technology to criminal incident & case management. We have helped to redefine case management processes to take full advantage of mobile workflow allowing 360º view of an active case with information flowing from minute 1. Personnel can stay in CrimePad all the way through to final report writing and case closure. You will speed up your entire case management workflow allowing CSIs, investigators, first responders, supervisors to go completely paperless, reducing all the duplicate redundancy that is inherently part of a paper-based workflow. CrimePad elegantly scales from a handful of investigators in a small department all the way up to an entire country's case management and case tracking system. CrimePad is currently in use at some of the largest Police Departments and State departments in the US. The system is fully compliant with the latest security requirements of CJIS and FIPS standards for both State, Local, and Federal usage. You can manage the following in CrimePad: • Task Management - Organize workflows for your personnel both within a case or outside of a case. • Incident Management - Capture all the relevant information pertaining to an incident and convert it to a case if necessary. • Case Management - Track Case Status, Leads, Warrants, Operations, Surveillance, Interviews, Tasks, Canvassing, Arrests, and Bookings. • Crime Scene Management - Track Scene, Address, Evidence, Techniques, Sketches, Vehicles, Bodies, Exams, Chain of Custody, Photos, Videos. • File Management - Organize all the photos, videos and files that are relevant to the case. • Field Reporting - Auto generate both field reports and final reports. • Integrations - Integrate into your LIMS or RMS systems to avoid double-entry. ** Please note that this is a US version and is English & Spanish only. If you would like language and workflow support for your country, please contact us on our support site.
