Conservation Law Enforcement
SmartCOP is proud to be the leading provider of conservation law enforcement software for Natural Resource Offices and Parks and Wildlife Enforcement agencies.
Maintain Order in Remote and Rugged Environments
SmartCOP products are trusted by more state conservation law enforcement agencies than any other vendor and are designed to support the diverse responsibilities of Conservation Officers in the field.
With a single action, officers can query NCIC, the state’s hunting and fishing licensing system, the interstate compact, and the RMS, providing all the necessary information.
Additionally, embedded ESRI mapping enables officers to access detailed layers of state parks, trails, waterways, and other conservation-specific maps statewide, even while offline.
SmartCAD: Computer Aided Dispatch
SmartCOP’s natural resource dispatch system (SmartCAD) is the hub of coordination for Conservation and Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement. With features tailored for remote areas and multi-agency cooperation, it ensures Conservation Law Enforcement can respond efficiently:
