Police Incident Report App
for a Police Force
A police force needed officers to capture incident details in one place, with completed reports locked against changes and every action recorded.
The problem behind the work
Officers needed a consistent way to record incidents, who was involved and the checks completed at the scene. Reports had to be trustworthy: once complete, they could not be quietly edited, and every action needed to be traceable.
Inconsistent capture
Incident details, involvement and checklists needed to be recorded the same way every time.
Records open to change
Completed reports needed protection against edits after the fact.
Controlled access
Information had to be visible only to the right roles.
Accountability
The force needed a full audit trail of who did what, and when.
What was delivered
A model-driven Power Apps application on Dataverse, with security applied from the start.
Checklists
Required checks are completed as part of the report, not alongside it.
Scene sketching
Officers can draw out the scene and keep the sketch with the record.
Locked reports
Completed forms are locked so that nobody can edit them afterwards.
Role-based security
Access is applied by role, so people see only what they should.
Full audit trail
Every action on a record is logged for review.
What changed
One place to record
Incident details, involvement and checklists are captured in a single app.
Protected records
Completed reports cannot be changed, which supports trust in the record.
Traceable actions
A full audit trail shows who did what on every report.
Right access for each role
Security is applied so information is shared only where it should be.
