Vehicle history lookup for law enforcement gives officers instant access to critical data that accelerates crime-solving investigations.

Instant vehicle identification number scanning lets you collect driver information in seconds, whether during traffic stops or investigations. Access comprehensive vehicle history reports to uncover ownership chains, accident history, and registration details that piece together the full picture.
Locate vehicles-of-interest by searching a dedicated crash report database, connecting accident data to ongoing investigations. Complete reportable and non-reportable accident documentation through Driver Exchange, reducing paperwork time and freeing officers for street work. The mobile app and web portal work seamlessly together, so you can start an investigation on the street and finish it back at the station.
