BLACK STARPROTECTIVE SERVICES

Planned product / Agency discovery

Bring incidents, records
and responsibility together.

Black Star Command is a planned Public Safety and Law Enforcement Management System. Its initial focus is a controlled web workspace for the essential workflow from incident creation and officer assignment to reporting, evidence organisation and case review.
Status

Not yet deployed. In discovery with prospective agencies. Capabilities below describe planned scope, not available features.

Planned product — illustrative demonstration

One role-based workspace for the essential workflow.
