Officer kit requests
Digital requests routed to stores for approval and issue.
POLICE & LAW ENFORCEMENT
Every uniform. Every piece of kit. Every officer. Accounted for.
AssetWave gives forces one record of uniform, PPE, radios and individually issued equipment — with officer requests, stores issues and returns connected to the people who hold them.
THE CHALLENGE
Where police kit budgets come under pressure
Uniform expenditure
Large volumes of uniform are issued every year, often without a clear view of entitlement or what each officer already holds.
Kit requests by email and paper
Officers request items through forms, emails and calls, and stores teams re-key everything.
Radios and individually issued assets
Radios, body-worn equipment and other serialised items must be traceable to a named officer.
Leavers and transfers
When officers leave or move, recovering issued kit is slow and incomplete.
Busy stores across many stations
Stores staff juggle issues, returns and stock checks across several locations.
Replacement purchases
Without reliable records, items are replaced that could have been reissued.
HOW ASSETWAVE HELPS
7 ways AssetWave saves money, saves time and improves accountability
- Save money
Control uniform expenditure
See what each officer holds and how often items are issued, so unnecessary issues and over-ordering are challenged.
- Save money
Recover kit from leavers
A complete record of what each leaver holds makes recovery straightforward and reduces write-offs.
- Save money
Fewer unnecessary replacements
Returned, serviceable items are reissued rather than replaced.
- Save money
Procurement visibility
Consumption by size, station and department supports better-informed orders and contract discussions.
- Save time
Faster officer kit requests
Officers submit requests digitally; stores teams approve and issue without re-keying.
- Save time
Simpler onboarding
New recruits receive standard issues with every item recorded against them from day one.
- Improve accountability
Radio and asset accountability
Serialised equipment is linked to a named officer with a full custody history.
