Police departments often struggle to communicate their contributions to the public, especially when budgets are questioned. A simple tool for publishing key metrics—response times, solved cases, community programs—could bridge this gap. Charge departments a monthly fee based on size. Start with basic reporting templates, then add customization options. The biggest risk is adoption—many departments may resist transparency.
