Law Enforcement Mapping Software

It is software that turns incident, call and resource records into a map that patrol operations and analysts can read. Maptive runs in the browser and builds the map from ordinary spreadsheet columns, so no GIS background is involved. More than 60 mapping and analysis tools come on every plan, from beat boundaries and drive-time analysis to spreadsheet exports taken directly from the map. Nothing is reserved for a higher tier. Most users build a first working map in about thirty minutes.

Maptive's 45 Day Pass is $250 for one user, which fits a single study or a coverage review. The Pro plan is $1,250 a year or $110 a month billed monthly. The Team plan is $2,500 a year or $220 a month, and it covers five users with collaboration and a dedicated success manager. Enterprise pricing is volume-based. All 60+ tools and the census data come with every tier, so the choice is about users and data capacity rather than features.

Yes. The trial lasts 10 days and asks for no credit card, with every tool unlocked from the first login. Your team evaluates the platform on its own records rather than demo data, so anything built during the trial reflects your actual jurisdiction. Upload a spreadsheet or paste from the clipboard, and a working map is ready in minutes. When the trial ends, the account expires unless you choose a plan, and no billing information is collected at signup. Support is available during the trial.

No. Maptive was built for people who have useful location data and no mapping specialist on hand. The tools work through the map interface, and every change shows its effect as you click. Most users have a first working map within about thirty minutes. When a question comes up, the US and Canada support team answers by phone and email in under 15 minutes, and onboarding covers data cleaning, map setup and team training for departments that want it. No installation is required.

Export the records to Excel or CSV and upload the file directly, or paste rows from the clipboard. Geocoding happens during the upload and reconciles what the file contains, including missing ZIP codes and inconsistent address fields. Every other column stays attached to its marker, so fields like call type, priority or date become things to color by and filter on. For records that update on a schedule, a connected Google Sheet refreshes the map when the sheet does, and no reformatting is needed first.

Maptive measures reach rather than minutes driven in the field. Drive-time polygons trace the road network from a station and show the area reachable within a chosen number of minutes, and the incidents inside each area are counted. That is the planning view of response. It shows which addresses fall inside a five-minute or ten-minute area rather than timing individual runs. The result exports as an image or a spreadsheet for whoever asked the question. No GIS software is involved.

Every plan includes more than 50 US Census variables at no extra cost, published at state, county, ZIP code, census-tract and block-group level, with Canadian data included as well. The variables cover population density, household income and age, among other measures, and they appear underneath your own records. That pairing lets an analyst compare where incidents concentrate against who lives in each area, which is the basis for coverage and staffing discussions. It is included on every plan, with nothing extra to buy.

Maptive encrypts data with 256-bit SSL in transit and at rest, and access controls include two-factor authentication and single sign-on, with role-based permissions set per user, so a viewer can be given one map and nothing else. Sensitive columns can be hidden from everyone you share with, and passwords can be required on shared links. Audit logging records what was accessed and by whom, and regional data-storage options are available where records must stay in a particular jurisdiction. The platform passed the Salesforce AppExchange security review.

Yes. A shared map opens from a link without a Maptive account, so another department, a council member or a resident needs no login. The map owner controls what each viewer can do, from which tools appear to which data columns are visible. A public-facing version can show less than the internal one, and the same map can export as a presentation image or poster print when a static copy is what the room needs. No license is needed on the viewer's side.

One map can show over 200,000 markers, and a data set can include up to 100,000 locations on the Pro and Team plans, or 50,000 on the 45 Day Pass. Enterprise capacity is volume-based for larger holdings. Every marker has the columns that came with it, so filtering and beat totals work at full volume rather than on a sample. For very large files, the filter tool is the practical way to work, since one beat can be isolated and shared on its own.
