Carfax for Police Revolutionizes Crash Scene Response
Carfax for Police has announced an upgraded Driver Exchange tool that gets to the crash scene before officer arrival , or even responds when officers are not dispatched . At a time when law enforcement agencies are suffering from staffing shortages and may need to prioritize other duties , Driver Exchange delivers digital boots on the ground that expedite scene clearance and provide better customer service to citizens . All Carfax for Police tools and solutions are free for law enforcement partner agencies . Driver Exchange crash response scenarios include :
1 . Officer-Operated Reporting : The officer collects information about reportable and non-reportable crashes via the digital app , eliminating errors , and delivering the crash information to citizens from the scene .
2 . Officer-Guided Reporting : Citizens are sent a secure link to begin the information exchange while the officer investigates and clears the scene .
3 . Remote-Start Reporting : The agency sends involved parties a secure link to begin information exchange in advance of the officer ’ s arrival on the scene .
4 . Citizen Self Reporting : When an agency cannot send an officer to the scene of a minor crash , a secure link is sent to involved parties for them to complete their own information exchange .
The cloud-based traffic tool provides accurate , digital crash information capture and distribution . Driver Exchange features a quick scan for driver ’ s licenses , registration cards , and VINs , as well as auto-populate , GPS , auto-save , touch diagrams , and dropdown menus . Multiple parties can input information simultaneously . Officers remain in control and can take over the data collection at any time , easily edit reports , and review and finalize all information prior to submission . A link to the digital crash information is sent quickly to involved parties so they can begin their insurance claims .

Driver Exchange is a game-changing technology that saves agencies time in responding to minor crashes while delivering a better customer service ,” commented Michael Ledoux , Business Development Director at Carfax . “ Smarter crash response is an imperative , especially as larger agencies are no longer going to the scene .”
