Why the police love stashcat

Security through encryption

Business information such as shift changes or deployment plans in a secure environment - even if this information is exchanged on private devices - thanks to end-to-end encryption of chats and transport encryption of files.

Mobile communication

Simple and mobile communication with stashcat within operational teams. For example, searches can be quickly distributed to colleagues via Messenger and coordination in teams or with the control center can also be carried out at any time in the field.

Always up to date thanks to GPS

The location can easily be sent to colleagues in the chat or #channel. Police officers on duty can share their current locations directly via Messenger with just one click and with pinpoint accuracy.
