Evidence-grade chain of custody.

Controlled access, equipment accountability, and emergency-readiness.

Every call

Custody across the response.

Patrol to property room, engine bay to ambulance — every weapon, key, and kit accounted for before the call comes in.

The problem

Accountability you can defend in court.

Weapons, equipment, and fleet keys need controlled access and a verifiable chain of custody. Gaps don't just cost money — they jeopardize prosecutions and trigger six-figure audits.

The cost of doing nothing

A custody gap is discovered at the worst possible time: in a courtroom, or in a forced audit.
