How Fox Valley Metro Police Department Transformed Fleet and Equipment Management with PSTrax
Managing police vehicles and critical gear is more than routine maintenance, it’s about ensuring officer safety, emergency readiness, and community protection. When equipment is well-maintained, officers can respond quickly and confidently, knowing their tools won’t fail them in critical moments. Fox Valley Metro Police Department (Wisconsin) needed a reliable, cost-effective, and user-friendly asset management system. With a combined population of approximately 17,000 residents and a dedicated force of 25 sworn officers, the police department sought a solution that would streamline processes and enhance accountability.
After exploring various options, the Fox Valley Metro Police Department chose PSTrax to simplify and improve how they track and manage vehicles, supplies, and other critical assets. This decision has helped keep everything organized and ready for use, ensuring that officers have reliable tools at all times.
Before PSTrax: Manual Processes and Missed Details
Fox Valley Metro Police relied on spreadsheets and verbal communication to handle inspections and inventory. With critical patrol vehicles and equipment in daily use, the existing solution left too much room for error. Manual processes meant no automated alerts or audit trails, making it challenging to track maintenance schedules, manage compliance, and maintain the highest standards of officer safety.
The Solution: Simple, Affordable, Built for Law Enforcement
Fox Valley Metro Police Department chose PSTrax for three key reasons:
1. Affordable pricing and an easy onboarding process
2. Cloud-based access with no special software required
3. User-friendly design that’s easy for officers to use
Fox Valley MPD now uses the centralized platform tailored to law enforcement to track Vehicles, Stations, Supplies, and Assets modules — covering every mission-critical item, from squad cars and AEDs to facility checks and consumables.
