Everything a case investigation needs,
in one place

CrimePad is purpose-built for the minute-to-minute reality of criminal investigations — not just case storage, but active case management while the case is unfolding.

Assignments & Approvals

Coordinate every task across the investigation in real time. Assign, approve, and track progress across your entire team without leaving the app.

Lead Management

Every tip, lead, and follow-up tracked, assigned, and tied to case status. Cases can't go cold while active leads remain unresolved.

Field Capture & Interviews

Mobile-first capture for canvassing, interviews, and observations — entered once in the field and instantly available to the entire team.

Supervisor Oversight

Real-time command visibility across every active case. Approve, redirect, and intervene without waiting for status meetings or phone calls.

Task Management

Coordinate Every Activity
in Real Time

Whether you're a solo lead investigator or managing a large-scale case with dozens of personnel, CrimePad gives you complete real-time control over every assignment, approval, and handoff.

  • Assign tasks instantly to lead investigators or supporting personnel from anywhere in the field
  • Approval workflows for reports, evidence submissions, and custody transfers before they're finalized
  • Supervisor review queue — approve, redirect, or escalate assignments without leaving the platform
  • Progress tracked live — as tasks complete or stall, every supervisor sees it immediately
  • Real-time notifications when a lead is cleared, evidence is uploaded, or a new task is generated in the field

Never Let a
Lead Go Cold

Every tip, follow-up, and dead end is logged, assigned, and tied to case status. From anonymous tips to leads generated during canvassing — nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Tip tracking — every incoming lead is logged, reviewed, and assigned to an investigator
  • Real-time status visibility — lead owners, due dates, and progress are visible to the whole team
  • Generate leads from activity — create new leads directly from interviews, canvassing, and surveillance
  • Case status alignment — CrimePad prevents a case from going cold while active leads remain open
  • Full lead history — every action taken on a lead is logged with investigator, timestamp, and outcome

  • Canvass planning — assign areas in real time, track every door knocked and every interview completed
  • Structured interview logging — capture witnesses, suspects, and subjects with full contextual detail and role tagging

Watch Your Crime Scene
From Anywhere

Supervisors no longer need to be physically present to know exactly what's happening at the scene. Monitor activity, review evidence as it's logged, and intervene if something's missed — from any device, in real time.

  • Live activity feed — see every entry, photo, and note as field investigators log them, in order
  • Scene status at a glance — which zones are active, what evidence has been collected, which leads are open
  • Remote approvals — approve evidence submissions, custody transfers, and scene closeouts without being on-site
  • Multi-scene visibility — supervisors can monitor several active scenes simultaneously from one view
  • Automatic alerts — get notified when critical actions occur or when time-sensitive tasks go unaddressed
Operations

Plan, Execute, and Document
Major Operations

CrimePad provides a structured framework for any complex tactical operation — from drug buys to hostage negotiations. Every person, fund, asset, and event is documented in real time, feeding directly into the final report.

  • Pre-op planning — upload briefing documents, assign personnel, coordinate across departments
  • Fund and asset tracking — log buy money, seized assets, and every transaction with a full chain of custody
  • Live event timeline — record every event as the operation unfolds for a complete, sequenced narrative
  • One-click final reports — all data captured during the op flows directly into the final report with no re-entry

Evidence Management

Complete Evidence Control,
Integrated With Your Property System

CrimePad doesn't replace your property management system — it integrates with it. Evidence is captured in the field with full detail, and every custody transfer is verified digitally at the moment it happens.

  • Type-aware evidence forms — money denominations, firearm serials, narcotics weights — forms show only what's relevant to that evidence type
  • Verified chain of custody — every handoff signed with a password or one-time code, creating a tamper-evident audit trail
  • Property management integration — syncs with your existing system; no double entry, no transcription errors
  • Field-level capture — evidence is logged the moment it's found, not reconstructed hours later at the desk
  • NIBRS compliance — every detail is structured for one-click NIBRS reporting

Digital Evidence

Not Just Storage —
Contextually Integrated

Body-cam footage, cell phone extractions, surveillance video — digital evidence in CrimePad isn't stored in an isolated folder. Every file is linked to the case, the scene, the interview, or the person it belongs to.

  • Terabyte-scale storage — no file size limits; large video uploads continue in the background over days if needed
  • Contextual linking — files are attached to the specific person, evidence item, or activity they relate to
  • Instant access for investigators — as digital evidence is uploaded, every investigator on the case sees it immediately
  • Secure external sharing — share with prosecutors, other agencies, or attorneys via time-limited, audit-trailed secure links
  • Full access audit trail — every external user who views or downloads a file is permanently logged

Command & Control

Full Command Visibility
Across Every Active Case

Supervisors in CrimePad have real-time visibility into every case under their command — not just a list of names, but actual activity: who's assigned, what's been done, what's stuck, and what needs approval.

  • Live case dashboard — all active investigations with current investigator activity and case health at a glance
  • Approval queue — reports, evidence submissions, and field actions requiring supervisor sign-off in one place
  • Assignment oversight — see every task across every case; reassign or escalate with one click
  • Cold case monitoring — cases with unresolved leads are flagged before they go cold
  • Confidential source management — privately track CIs and undercover agents with need-to-know access controls

AI Ready

Built for the
Intelligence Era

As artificial intelligence comes to law enforcement, the agencies that benefit most won't just have data — they'll have it organized the right way. CrimePad has been built that way from the start.

One record, the full picture Every lead, interview note, suspect connection, and timeline event lives together in one complete case record — not spread across binders, spreadsheets, and handwritten notes that are impossible to search or connect.
Context is already built in A lead knows which case it belongs to. A suspect is connected to every scene, evidence item, and associate in the record. Investigators working a case and AI tools reviewing it both see the same complete web of relationships — nothing has to be inferred.
Ready when AI arrives Every field, timestamp, and action is stored in a consistent structure. When AI tools come to law enforcement, your case data won't need months of cleanup or data migration — it's already in the right shape to use.
Built for Detectives

The Whole Case.
In Your Hands.

Every lead, interview, operation, and piece of evidence — organized in a single connected record. CrimePad gives investigators the full picture from the first assignment to the final court submission.
