About Us

Last updated 2 October 2026

TacAd is a toolkit built for police officers, by people who understand the job — a single place to keep the day-to-day admin and reference material that usually lives scattered across notebooks, group chats, and whatever app happened to be open at the time.

What’s inside

  • Quick reference — a searchable guidance library, definitions, and an offence lookup, so you’re not hunting through PDFs on shift
  • On-the-job calculators — custody and bail time limits, CCTV time differences, age calculations, and a map plotter for recording locations without including anything sensitive
  • Contact Directory — find contact details of partners and interact with them quickly
  • Force Finder — contact details for forces and departments, in one directory
  • Overtime & expenses — log overtime against your contracted hours and pay dates, and track expense claims with receipts, without a spreadsheet. Inspectors and above can track their own hours too
  • Location sharing — a simple, time-limited way to let colleagues in your force see where you are, entirely opt-in and automatically expiring
  • Lock Box — a private, passcode-protected place to leave personal messages and instructions for your family, separate from anything operational

Built with you and your job in mind

Everything here is designed around what the role actually involves, including its risks.

Who it’s for

Serving officers who want less admin friction in their day — nothing more complicated than that. If your whole team ends up using it too, great, but you don’t need anyone else to start.
