Shared incident log
Every log entry carries a priority, status and assignee, with a full history of changes for the post-operation debrief or inquiry.
Policing & Public Safety
Command and control for police operations
A single operating picture for major operations, public order policing and joint-agency response, from the briefing room to the cordon line.
The challenge
What police operations centres are up against
- 01
Joint-agency information gaps
Radio nets, paper logs and separate systems mean commanders and partner agencies build a shared picture by making calls, not by looking at one screen.
- 02
Evidence has to hold up later
Use-of-force, detentions and cordon changes need an accurate, timestamped record made at the time, not reconstructed for the inquiry afterwards.
- 03
Not every partner sees everything
Ambulance, transport and council liaisons need the right updates without access to intelligence or another agency's internal traffic.
How CommandPost® helps
One command platform for the whole operation
Commanders, radio operators, intelligence staff and partner agencies work from the same live picture, each seeing only what their role needs.
Cordons and sectors on the map
Integrated Maps shows cordon lines, sector boundaries, rendezvous points and grid references that every call sign can see.
Use-of-force and stop reports
Forms & Checklists capture use-of-force, stop-search and detention records in the field, with photos, signatures and GPS attached.
Briefings and shift changeovers
The Operation Schedule carries briefing times, route timings and changeover points so every unit works from the same run sheet.
Commander's overview
The Dashboard shows open, critical and resolved entries at a glance for the silver or gold commander running the operation.
Who's on and how to reach them
The Contact List holds sector call signs, partner agency liaisons and who is rostered on, so tasking does not wait on a radio check.
Counterterrorism
From intelligence to a coordinated response
Counterterrorism depends on the right information reaching the right people quickly. CommandPost® links intelligence, the live operating picture and every partner agency in one secure operation.
Real-time situational awareness
Threat reports, sightings and cordons appear on the live map as they happen, so commanders see the whole picture across every agency.
Information sharing
Share an operating picture with partner agencies, venues and transport operators on a need-to-know basis, without sharing everything.
Intelligence reports
Capture intelligence as structured reports, restricted to authorised users, and trace each one to the tasks and decisions it informed.
Secure and auditable
Role-based access and an append-only audit trail record every change and who made it, ready for reviews and inquiries.

What changes in the operations centre
- Commanders and partner agencies work from one shared, live operating picture.
- Partner agencies see only the updates relevant to their role, not the whole log.
- Use-of-force and detention entries carry a timestamped record for later review.
- Sector and unit tasking is tracked to resolution instead of lost on the radio.
