How ARMS Works

A structured workflow from authentication to accountability — every transfer logged, every location known.

Tag Weapons, Gear & Containers

Attach RFID tags within weapon grips using cyanoacrylate adhesive, or apply barcode labels to gear and ammo. RFID suits high-frequency issue-return environments; barcodes are ideal for long-term issuances and cost-sensitive items.

Authenticate Personnel

Officers present ID cards, biometrics, or PIN codes at the armory window. The armorer’s screen instantly displays the officer’s photo, assigned weapons, post requirements, and any certification flags – red for expired or Do-Not-Arm, green for cleared.

Validate Transfer of Custody

Display ID numbers and descriptions on electronic signature pads or touch screens. Personnel sign or enter PIN to confirm custody. The ARMS database updates location in real-time and creates a permanent chain-of-custody event record.

Audit, Inventory & Report

After each shift change, ARMS scans the armory to confirm all returns. Run complete audits at any time, find missing items instantly, and generate chain-of-custody reports for any asset from acquisition through disposition.

Chain of Custody Tracking

Complete event history for every weapon from acquisition through final disposition. Electronic signature validation on every transfer.

  • Display ID #’s and descriptions of weapons, gear and ammo issued on electronic signature pad
  • Display photos, ID #’s and descriptions of weapons, gear and ammo issued on touch screen monitor with PIN # input
  • Personnel sign electronic signature pad or input PIN # to validate custody of weapons, gear and ammo issue to their custody
  • The locations of issued weapons, gear and ammo update the ARMS database
  • A transaction history ‘chain-of-custody’ record is created in the event history of each weapon, gear and ammo transferred

RFID Doorway and Issue-Return Window Detection Zones

Prevent unauthorized asset removals before they happen. The software integrates directly with hardware peripherals to trigger flashing lights, audible alarms, and horns if a weapon breaches a security perimeter without clearance.

  • Quickly identify personnel and the specific weapons, gear, or ammunition being issued or returned via seamless RFID or barcode scans.
  • Display high-resolution photos of both “assigned-to-personnel” equipment and “required-for-post” assets side-by-side on a flat/touchscreen monitor, giving armorers instant clarity during handoffs.
  • Mitigate liability instantly. The system dynamically highlights asset or personnel photos in Red if an officer’s weapon certification has expired or if they have been explicitly flagged as ‘Do-Not-Arm’.
  • Approved assets are clearly highlighted in Green, giving armorers an immediate visual confirmation that the weapon is safe, certified, and cleared for deployment.
  • Every single transfer of custody—whether an issue, return, or relocation—automatically updates the secure central database for a bulletproof, real-time audit trail.

Weapon Certification Management

Automate tracking of weapon certification due-dates per officer. Flag expired certs or Do-Not-Arm status before issuance.

  • Eliminate manual spreadsheets. The system proactively tracks upcoming due dates for officer weapon certifications, sending automated alerts well before qualifications expire.
  • Not all duties carry the same requirements. Easily differentiate, tailor, and track distinct recertification intervals based on specialized tactical authorizations, such as SWAT, No-Knock Entry, specialized firearms, or active-shooter protocols.
  • A dedicated, intuitive software interface allows training coordinators or armorers to quickly log live-fire test results, range scores, and updated qualification statuses directly into the system.
  • Enforce compliance at the point of handoff. The software performs an instantaneous, automated background lookup of an officer’s weapon certification status prior to any asset issuance, locking out human error before a weapon can be checked out.

Inventory Weapons after Issues and Returns

Inventory weapons and gear after each shift change. Perform complete armory audits and validate location of every item at any time.
  • Accelerate handovers seamlessly. Conduct lightning-fast verification of weapons, tactical gear, and ammunition during shift changes, ensuring incoming and outgoing personnel are perfectly aligned with zero downtime.
  • Transition from stressful spot-checks to effortless compliance. The system orchestrates comprehensive armory audits using advanced RFID or barcode scanning, generating instant, legally defensible discrepancy reports.
  • Maintain absolute control. The platform continuously validates the exact location of all weapons and gear across multiple racks, rooms, or mobile units – ensuring 100% accountability at all times.
  • Eliminate frantic searches for misplaced assets. Use the software’s intuitive search engine or precise handheld RFID geolocating features to instantly pinpoint the exact physical location of a specific serial number or piece of gear.
