Information Platform for Law Enforcement Agencies

Real-time dashboards, operational awareness, and modern communication tools — designed for police departments, sheriff’s offices, campus safety, and law enforcement agencies of all sizes.

Why Law Enforcement Agencies Choose First Arriving

Every day, law enforcement agencies manage a constant flow of information — calls for service, staffing, briefings, BOLOs, training, policy updates, equipment readiness, court schedules, and more. Too often, this information lives in isolated systems or gets lost in email. The First Arriving Information Platform brings it together into a single, clear operational picture so officers, supervisors, detectives, and command staff all stay aligned and informed.
