Patrol vehicle inspection and fleet management software for law enforcement

Every patrol vehicle inspected at shift change. Every issue documented before a unit goes out. Every record available when an incident, an audit, or an accreditation review requires it. PSTrax gives law enforcement agencies the vehicle inspection documentation that paper logs cannot consistently produce.

The liability exposure in patrol vehicle inspection documentation

Patrol vehicle inspection documentation is a liability question before it is an operational one. When a vehicle is involved in a pursuit, a collision, or a use-of-force event, inspection records become part of the investigative file. If those records are incomplete, unsigned, or absent, the department faces questions it cannot answer with documentation.

Most agencies understand the requirement. The problem is that shift-change vehicle inspections done on paper produce records that are filled in quickly, inconsistently, or after the fact. Supervisors have no way to verify that inspections were completed without physically checking or calling around. When a vehicle goes out of service and the outgoing crew does not communicate it clearly, the incoming crew may not know until they need that unit.

How PSTrax manages patrol vehicle inspections

Shift-change inspection workflows

Every officer completing a patrol vehicle inspection follows a guided workflow on any phone or computer. Every item is documented at the time of inspection, not reconstructed afterward.

Built for patrol vehicle accountability

PSTrax was built for the accountability standards law enforcement agencies operate under. Vehicle inspection workflows are configured for patrol vehicle types and shift structures before go-live. Most agencies are operational within a few weeks with no IT project and no disruption to daily operations.
