Self-Service for Law Enforcement
Empower Your Law Enforcement Agency with Secure Self-Service Kiosks
Law enforcement agencies are under constant pressure to do more with fewer resources. Our self-service kiosks give police departments, sheriff’s offices, and correctional facilities a secure and efficient way to manage documentation, automate routine processes, and improve public access – without pulling officers away from their core mission of protecting the community.
From gun registration and visitor check-in to incident reporting and public record access, kiosks provide 24/7 availability and ensure cleaner, more accurate data entry. By reducing paperwork and streamlining workflows, agencies can free up officer time, cut administrative costs, and deliver faster service to the public.
Common Use Cases:
- Gun registration
- Incident and accident reporting
- Public record requests
- Sex offender registration
- Visitor management
- Inmate services
- And more
Meeting Public Needs with Limited Resources
Across the country, law enforcement agencies are being asked to do more with less. Rising operational demands, increasing public expectations, and limited staffing often force officers and administrative staff to spend valuable time on paperwork and visitor processing instead of community safety.
The result can be:
- Long wait times and frustrated citizens
- Administrative bottlenecks that delay service delivery
- Compliance and security risks in visitor management
- Officers spending more time on clerical work than on policing
