From First Call
to Final Verdict
Complete incident documentation, seamless handoff to crime scene and investigations — all in one record. E-citations coming soon. Everything you capture from the first moment follows the case all the way to court.
Your report sets the foundation
for everything that follows
What you capture in those first minutes becomes the foundation for the investigation, the evidence chain, and the court case. CrimePad makes sure none of it is lost — and none of it needs to be entered twice.
E-Citations · Coming Soon
Issue digital citations for traffic violations, misdemeanors, and warnings. NIBRS-compliant, signature-captured, and instantly on record.
Incident Documentation
Complete incident record — parties, narrative, photos, location, and evidence — captured digitally on arrival. Nothing reconstructed from memory later.
Seamless Handoff
When an incident becomes a case, crime scene and investigators receive everything you've captured — briefed and ready before they arrive. No callbacks.
One-Click Reports
Field reports and final incident reports generated instantly from data already entered — not re-typed. Approval workflows built in.

Capture the Complete Story
While You're Still on Scene
CrimePad gives first responders structured digital forms to document every detail while it's in front of them — not reconstructed from notes hours later at the station.
- Parties, witnesses & subjects Log every person involved with role, statement, and identifying details in a structured form
- Photos & video at the scene Capture and tag photos directly in the incident record — organized and immediately available to investigators
- Narrative building Enter bite-sized activity notes as things unfold; they compile into the final narrative automatically
- Offline support Keep documenting in basements, rural areas, or any low-signal environment — everything syncs when you're back in range
- Structured for investigation Everything is captured in the format investigators and CSI need — not freeform notes they have to re-interpret
Accurate Evidence Records
From the First Touch
Evidence logged by first responders doesn't get re-entered — it becomes the foundation of the chain of custody. What you record at the scene follows the evidence all the way through the case.
- Type-aware forms Evidence forms adapt to the type — firearms show serial/make/model fields; narcotics show weight fields — nothing irrelevant clutters the screen
- Photo documentation built in Photograph evidence in context without leaving the evidence form; photos are linked to that item automatically
- Chain of custody starts here The moment you log it, the custody trail begins — every subsequent handoff is tracked from this record
- Verified transfers Handoffs to crime scene or property management are verified by password or one-time code, creating a tamper-evident trail
- Property system integration Syncs with your existing property management system — no duplicate entry when the evidence reaches the property room
Crime Scene & Investigators
Arrive Already Briefed
When an incident escalates, crime scene investigators and detectives don't start from zero. They receive everything the first officer captured — before they even arrive on scene. No callbacks. No re-entry. No lost context.
- Instant context for CSI Crime scene investigators see the full incident record — parties, evidence already logged, photos, narrative — before touching anything
- Detective briefing from day one Investigators receive all early witness statements, evidence, and incident details as part of the case record automatically
- Zero duplicate entry Data entered by the first officer flows directly into the case — CSI and detectives build on it, never re-enter it
- Early photo library Scene photos taken before CSI arrives are preserved in the case record and immediately available for investigation use
- Supervisor notification Supervisors are notified the moment an incident is escalated to a case and can monitor progress from any device

Documentation That Works
When It's Dark Outside.
First responders work at all hours, in any conditions. CrimePad's field-optimized interface captures everything — incident details, witness information, and more — from the moment you arrive, whether it's 2pm or 2am.
