How Mcmtech Helps Police Departments

For more than 20 years, Mcmtech has been catering best-in-class software solutions to the unique needs of public safety. Today, Mcmtech is the preferred asset, inventory and work order management solution for law enforcement agencies across the country. Here are some reasons why. 

Mcmtech serves + protects police departments  

Police departments are committed to serving and protecting our communities, but who is doing the same for them? [Mcmtech enters the chat.] 

what we protect + how:

police officers  

Mcmtech’s software solutions help ensure that each police officer is assigned the right equipment for their role and mission. Its Quartermaster software makes it easy for an officer to request appropriate gear by only displaying items the officer is authorized to recieve. By supporting proper maintenance, practices and schedules, Mcmtech's software helps ensure gear will work when needed. Departments can confidently invest in new, better equipment, knowing Mcmtech’s safeguards will help maintain and prevent loss. Mcmtech also makes it easier to support officers during multi-agency responses by making sure the equipment and tactics deployed can operate effectively together.  

police assets  

Mcmtech's inspection module ensures that site, vehicle, and equipment assessments are conducted properly and makes it easy to follow up with repair or support when issues are identified. Maintenance tracking and change histories provide accountability, helping supervisors ensure their mission-critical equipment is being serviced by reliable hands. With equipment documents and historical information stored in the asset record, preventive and reactive maintenance is more efficient and effective. Clear, indisputable records of issuance and receipt help locate and/or account for missing items, and improved tracking helps ensure that police equipment is returned after being loaned for disaster relief or multi-agency operations.  

the department itself  

Issues such as lost equipment, excess inventory, unreliable gear, and inefficient processes can drain police budgets over time. Equipment failures like uncalibrated radar guns or malfunctioning body cams can tarnish the department’s reputation and hinder its public safety mission. Mcmtech’s software not only helps to keep assets working properly, it also gives agencies visibility into their assets’ histories and who has been responsible for them today and in the past. Streamlined processes help police departments operate more efficiently, which is crucial in this era of doing more with less. Historical tracking on equipment ownership combined with proper maintenance help departments avoid these catastrophic headaches. 

the department’s future  

Policing technology is constantly advancing. Innovations like eCitation printers, biometric scanners, drones, public space weapon detectors, robots, and Bluetooth SWAT gear may require unique data tracking. Mcmtech’s solutions seamlessly accommodate changing needs as technologies and responsibilities evolve. By providing valuable data insights, Mcmtech enables departments to budget and plan more accurately for the future. Additionally, grant-fund tracking supports compliance, helping departments secure and benefit from future funding opportunities. With Mcmtech’s fully flexible, scalable software platform, departments can track whatever information they need, when and how they need to, ensuring they are always prepared for the future of policing.  

Mcmtech is the only one that can integrate with LMRs  

Mcmtech is the only provider whose asset, inventory, and work order management solutions integrate with radio systems, currently supporting several major radio manufacturers and continually forming new partnerships for public safety customers. This integration allows agencies to manage communications and infrastructure equipment alongside other assets and inventory, capturing essential comm-centric data and simultaneously syncing it with the radio system. 

Features such as radio ID and alias assignment help prevent duplication and affiliation errors. The bulk data import feature enables rapid processing of large datasets, as Julie Gantner, Network Operations Manager at Adesta, noted: “I can bring on 500 or 1,000 radios in the time it takes to bring on 10.” Additionally, radio site management is simplified by having all relevant information—manuals, warranties, maps, vendor details, maintenance histories, and more—centralized in one location, streamlining maintenance and response to disruptions. 

A single software solution solves so many problems.  

How does Mcmtech solve so many mission-critical problems for police departments? By offering a full suite of equipment, inventory, and work order management capabilities in one software solution. Managing disparate spreadsheets is time consuming, error prone and creates a disconnect between vital information. Streamlined processes eliminate duplicate steps and reduce manual errors, making it easy for police to manage every aspect of their equipment and inventory accurately, efficiently, and effectively.
