CENTREVILLE, VA – CARFAX for Police, the law enforcement division of the world’s leading source of vehicle history information, recently announced that its digital traffic solution, Driver Exchange, now delivers on-scene, actionable alerts powered by the CARFAX Vehicle History Database of more than 34 billion vehicle history records. Most crimes committed involve a vehicle, and CARFAX’s unique vehicle intelligence can help improve situational awareness, officer safety and aid in officer collaboration. 

Driver Exchange is a cloud-based traffic solution that provides accurate, digital crash information capture and distribution. Now, entering a VIN or license plate into Driver Exchange activates a search for possible anomalies in the CARFAX Vehicle History Database.

Alerts include notifications for stolen vehicles, odometer inconsistencies and title washing, as well as VIN Alerts, which are set by officers in the CARFAX for Police network of more than 5,800 partner agencies. VIN Alerts notify officers when the Vehicle History Report gets a new record on a vehicle of interest. When a VIN Alert appears in Driver Exchange, the officer can collaborate with other investigators monitoring the vehicle. Officers can also set a new VIN Alert via Driver Exchange at the scene.

“The majority of crimes of all types involve a vehicle, and unique vehicle history data at the scene of a crash is a powerful addition to the ecosystem of law enforcement intelligence,” said Lieutenant Michael Ledoux (ret.), business development director at CARFAX for Police. “Officers need real-time information to help make informed decisions on how to respond in any scenario. CARFAX for Police Driver Exchange continues to provide time and cost savings for understaffed agencies and now delivers real-time intelligence and on-scene collaboration that you can’t get anywhere else.”  

Driver Exchange can deliver an estimated 35% cost and time savings by creating new efficiencies both at the scene and during records processing. The solution features a quick scan for driver’s licenses, registration cards and VINs, as well as auto-populate, GPS, auto-save, touch diagrams, dropdown menus and photo upload. Officers and citizens can input information simultaneously. Officers remain in control and can take over the data collection at any time, easily edit reports and review and finalize all information prior to submission. A link to the digital exchange is sent to involved parties so they can begin their insurance claims.
