Case Study: Aransas Pass Police Department Improves Key Tracking and Security with Keycafe

The Aransas Pass Police Department Tracks Patrol Car Keys Using Keycafe

The Aransas Pass Police Department, a municipal police force in Texas, was facing significant challenges with lost keys and department credit cards due to an inefficient paper-based check-out system. This lack of control over their assets resulted in wasted time and frustration for staff. To solve this, the department implemented the Keycafe SmartBox.

Using the Keycafe system, officers now check out and return patrol vehicle keys and credit cards through a secure SmartBox and mobile app, which creates a digital record of every transaction. This Keycafe solution has eliminated missing assets, saved the department considerable time previously spent tracking items down, and reduced the risk of unauthorized use, bringing their "aggravation level related to these issues is at an all-time low."
