Police Pad?(Android): This app from nattayb is a field-reporting tool allowing users to create an “event” with time and date recorded. Events are categorized into tabs such as New Call, On Scene, Interview, Arrest, Ticket, Statement, Car Accident, and Booked. Supporting information such as pictures, voice notes, and text can be added. As with Police Partner, seek legal advice before using this one. Cost: $1.99.
The Police Pad field app for Android allows officers to easily and simply document calls for service. The officer can mark “on scene,” interview time, time of arrest, time the ambulance was called, and so on. There’s a place to type notes, take photos through the device’s camera, and record audio through the device’s microphone.
The best part of the app is that the information recorded during an incident can be e-mailed. This includes typed notes, photographs, and any audio recordings. The app reduces the need to carry a clipboard, camera or digital recording device in the field. It provides these items in one location through an Android phone or tablet.
