The command layer for modern policing
See what happened, and if it worked.
Police departments and sheriff’s offices run a lot of systems: CAD, RMS, eCitation, ALPR, and more. None of them give command easy access to the answers they need.

The data to answer for your department already sits in the systems you run. It just never reaches command.
Someone is always asking questions, from command to the press. Have the answers in hand.
The officer still answers for the incident. Now the chief can answer for the pattern.
Command
The monthly command meeting is Monday. Can you see what every shift did last month without asking each supervisor to write it up?
Community
A community officer is presenting to an HOA next week. Can they show how often the neighborhood gets patrolled, what officers did there, and how it compares to the rest of town?
The numbers ready before they walk into the room.
Media
A reporter calls with a question about one neighborhood and wants a comment by five. Can you answer with your own numbers before the story runs?
Your own numbers, before the story runs.
City Council / Mayor
Council asks for an update on the mental health co-responder program they funded in the spring. Can the chief send incidents, time spent and dispositions, the same day?
Ready the same day council asks, not the week after.
Know. Brief. Work. One loop command runs every day.
One platform, on the systems you already run. Each module feeds the next:
what Know sees, Brief reports, and Work acts on.
Know
See what the agency did.
CAD, RMS and operational data, connected and tagged automatically from the reports officers already write. Count it, map it, compare it, without anyone re-keying it.
Brief
Start the day already informed.
What happened, what moved and what needs a decision, built from your agency's own record and ready before you walk in.
Work
Direct the response and prove it.
Where sergeants, lieutenants and the chief run Initiatives, compliance review and the record of what was done and whether it worked.
The question command can now answer: what are we doing, and is it working?
The Gap
Officers doing the work. Systems not talking to each other.
The Fix
CAD and RMS connected. Records pre-populated at the point of activity.
Live In
Five weeks.
Minutes to seconds
Officer time per record.
More complete, more timely
Operational visibility.
Manual gathering to near real time
Leadership access.
Know the progress on your initiatives, whenever you want it.
Faster than writing an email asking for the report.
Answers come from the reports your officers write. No extra forms to fill, and the minutes that used to go into them go back to patrol.
Problem
Speeding in one corridor.
Area, Owner, and Time Frame
Three blocks, the day-shift sergeant, last 30 days.
Outcome
Contacts, warnings, citations, arrests, time spent, and whether the pattern moved.
A workspace for every unit, program, and initiative.
No CAD or RMS covers everything your agency does. A SmartForce workspace covers what's left, without one more standalone form.
Officers
Capture once. No duplicate entry.
Supervisors and Analysts
Watch active operations, assignments, and trends as they happen.
Command
Answer questions quickly, with data you trust.
The brief is ready when you are.
Command Brief turns your agency's day into a short spoken briefing, on demand. Ask for it on the way in, or listen in the car. Either way, you walk in already knowing what moved and what needs a decision.
It is built from the same data as everything else on this page and organized around the problems your agency is working, not a generic crime summary. You define the problems. Each brief covers exactly those, nothing else.
Command Brief uses agentic AI inside SmartForce's CJIS-compliant platform. It is written from your agency's data, and every number in it traces back to the record it came from.
Time back, at every level of the chain.
The alternative is still checking a spreadsheet and waiting on an email back.
Do you have a mandate for stop and contact data?
Eighteen states now require officers to record data on the people they stop, and the list keeps growing. SmartForce's compliance workspace was built for that mandate. A paper form was not.
And command uses that same data every day, for everything else on this page.
WE TRACK THE LEGISLATION
As requirements change, so does what you capture, before deadlines hit.
WE KEEP YOU IN COMPLIANCE
Checked at the point of contact. Nothing lost, nothing missed.
WE GIVE OFFICERS THEIR MINUTES BACK
One capture, in seconds. Every stop, minutes back to patrol.
