Built by a working patrol sergeant who got tired of running out of the one form a victim needed. Most agencies have documents they’re legally required to get into a victim’s hands. Not all of them know it, and a stack of printed forms in a trunk doesn’t manage itself. On scene, the officer picks the incident type. The rights notices and documents the law requires for that type are attached automatically. The officer sees exactly what’s going out, then sends it by text, email, or QR code. The recipient opens it on their own phone, no app needed, and can read the notices in 22 languages. The agency manages its own documents and local resources in one place, sorted by incident type: domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, and more. Update a document once and every officer has the current version. Officers also carry the agency’s own reference material, like checklists and call-out lists, in the same app. No victim names or case narratives are collected. Your agency decides whether a case number is required. What goes out is the same information an officer would already hand someone on paper, just faster and more reliably. PatrolDocs is issued per agency. Officer accounts are provisioned by your department, not self-registered.
