The most technologically advanced and convenient way to document, photograph, search and share all aspects of your law enforcement contacts directly to your iPhone. Field Contact is the most convenient way to document, save and send your field contact information. Field Contact makes it simple to enter all pertinent I.D. information directly to your iPhone: names, addresses, vehicle information, aliases, location of incident, etc… with advanced search features to recall stored contacts. Rather than fumble with a pen and notepad, or worry about remembering to take your camera out in the field with you that day, simply use Field Contact as the perfect tool to digitally capture all aspects of your contact.
Application Details
- Add new contacts with numerous law enforcement specific data fields.
- Specific data fields have predefined options allowing the user to scroll to their desired choice. Information can be entered quicker and easier.

- Add photos and enlarge the photos for in-field recognition

Is this going to be released for Droid
Thats the plan Dave! Check out our website for further: http://www.fieldcontactapp.com
Wouldn’t this open up your personal phone to defense attorneys? Last time I checked, police departments weren’t handing out iPhones.
It possibly could if you mention your personal phone as being used. You could always email the information to your department email and use that as your point of reference.
The Field Contact App for the iphone is awesome. It is very useful. Now I can get rid of all those Field Contact Cards I have to fill out. It seems to work fine on OS 4.
The only thing I can think of at the moment, is that a feature that would generate a report or spreadsheet listing ALL of your field contacts would be very helpful in intelligence sharing with detectives and other partners. Of course, we would also have to be able to email the report or spreadsheet right from the app too.
Great work.
Thanks Bill!
How long before this app is available for t-mobile android phones.
No timeframe yet – but you can sign up for an email notification here: http://www.fieldcontactapp.com/android-and-blackberry-app/
Hey, I emailed you a few weeks ago and asked you when this app might be out for the droid….something or a future enhancement, is being able to hit a button and the location could be mapped and entered based on the gps etc of your phone at the time. that may be tough, but I had seen that in another product at some time, cant recall the name.
thanks
Hello Gary!
I never received an email from you. Not sure what happen there but I guarantee I would never ignore you! The android version is currently in development and I’m shooting for a late February release. However I won’t release anything that isn’t perfect, so that is a tentative date for right now.
I couldn’t agree more about mapping, but as you said it is tough. I’m hoping to accomplish this in the future.
Thank you for the feedback!
Is there any future hope of being able to input data on a computer and transfer it to your Iphone? I use it all the time in the field and sometimes create new contacts in the field when I am out with a subject or on a call… But I would love to be able to input a bunch of my old contacts from my “Frequent Flyer” list on a computer and transfer them to my phone (rather then entering it all on my phone)… I have circulated this around my department (Over 300 sworn – In California) and we love the app, just a suggestion to steam line it that much more.
Keep up the great work!
Hello Brenton,
Yes I have plans to make a computer or web app that works seamlessly with the mobile app. Thank you for your support, as a fellow law enforcement employee myself I appreciate it.
I haven’t tried the app, but just looking at it I get the feeling it could be great to have. As far as making this friendly with transfering info from a computer sraight to iPad or iPhone, any chance of being compatable with RIMS? I would be awesome if it could share the data. Thanks
You have access to your raw data file through iTunes. I’m not sure what RIMS is???
