Police Records
Manages police incidents from filing through investigation and closure. Incident reports track persons involved, arrests with status tracking, and evidence chain-of-custody. Investigations link to incidents with their own status workflow. Officer assignments are managed per incident. Evidence tracking covers intake, storage location, and disposition. Integrates with the Court & Citations module for cases that result in prosecution.

Why this matters
Small and mid-sized police departments rarely need a full-CAD RMS with a six-figure license and a forklift upgrade every three years. What they need is a records system that holds incidents, investigations, arrests, and evidence together — and that integrates with the rest of city hall when a case moves to the city attorney or an abatement gets billed to the property owner. MuniNow's Police Records module keeps each incident linked to the parties, vehicles, and evidence involved, with a chain-of-custody log that records intake, storage location, transfers, and disposition. Officer assignments and shift schedules attach to the incident. Investigations run on their own status workflow and can pull in multiple incidents. When a case results in a citation or arrest that goes to court, the data flows directly into the Court & Citations module without re-entry — including defendant information, charges, and case-history notes. For departments integrating with state CAD systems or county jail management, the open API keeps the integration surface small and documented.
