Start the crash
Set the roads, location, and severity. Start with default sections or a built-in template, then add the sections this crash needs.
TACWACTake a Crash, Write a Crash.
Crashes
Made Simple.
One clear workspace for crash investigators. Capture roadside facts, shape your notes, and keep the next deadline in view—from the first detail to the final export.
THE WORKFLOW
Your notes.
Better organized.
Record a fact once. TACWAC keeps it connected from the first roadside entry to the final export.
Capture the facts
Connect people, vehicles, property damage, photos, evidence, and measurements with your investigative notes.
Export your notes
Review warnings and the narrative, choose what to include, and export a Word or plain-text document with photos and diagram files as needed.
THE SECTIONS
Only the sections
the crash needs.
Start with the essentials. Add the work areas your investigation calls for, or build your own Custom Sections with TACWAC Pro. Keep every detail connected, from the first person you speak with to the final diagram.
People
Keep identification, contact details, and statements connected.
Vehicles
Keep vehicle details, damage, towing, and bus seating together.
Photos
Capture the scene, then organize photos with tags and notes.
Measurements
Place people, vehicles, evidence, and roadway features.
Diagram
Bring measured points together in a to-scale Factual Diagram.

CAPTURE
Easy Capture.
Don't Miss a Thing.
Scan a supported driver-license barcode and review the captured details. Keep parties and passengers linked to vehicles, record statements and investigation details, and document property damage alongside the rest of the scene.
- Identification, contact information, statements, and injury details
- Vehicle ownership, insurance, damage sketches, location, and towing
- Bus seating layouts and rosters; seat belt and air bag inspections with TACWAC Pro
- Capture or import photos, then add record tags and notes
MEASURE
Measure it
your way.
Work from the map, spot coordinates, or a station line. Measure people, vehicles, evidence, and roadway features such as lane lines and curbs, keeping the same points connected to your tables and Factual Diagram.
- Map distances, saved coordinates, and reusable Quick Actions measurements
- Spot-coordinate and station-line measurements
- TACWAC Pro: triangulation, multiple and intersecting station lines, and slope adjustment
FACTUAL DIAGRAM
Turn your Measurements
Into a Clear Picture.
Measured people, vehicles, evidence, and roadway features come together in a to-scale Factual Diagram. Review the measurement key, choose your layers and scale, and export the drawing for use alongside your notes.
- Scale, north compass, drawing layers, and overturned vehicle markers
- Searchable measurement key with PNG, SVG, and PDF export drawn to your chosen scale
- DXF export for Visio, CAD, and crash-diagramming tools with TACWAC Pro
NARRATIVE + EXPORT
Start with a template.
Keep control of every word.
Write statements, investigative entries, and Summary/Cause with smart fields linked to crash details. With TACWAC Pro, add Custom Sections and create or share reusable boilerplate. Review the assembled narrative, edit text and tables, and keep control of what you export.
- Smart fields keep names and crash details connected
- Review and edit the assembled text and tables
- Select and reorder export sections; add custom headings and default order with TACWAC Pro
- Preview Word pages with photos, vehicle sketches, and bus seating charts, or export plain text with separate photos and diagram files
QUICK ACTIONS + SEARCH
Not your scene?
Capture anyway.
Assisting on another investigator's crash? Be a good beat partner. Quick Actions work without an open crash. Grab a person, a vehicle, a measurement, or coordinates the moment you have them—then hand your work to the investigator with Share Package.
Search saved crashes by name, vehicle details, or words in your notes. Narrow the results by category and crash date.
- Share selected people, vehicles, measurements, and coordinates with another TACWAC user
- From a crash, also share property damage, investigative entries, Summary/Cause, and recommendations
- Review incoming records and choose a crash or Quick Actions where supported

NOTE INTEGRITY
Know what's missing.
Before it's a problem.
As you work, TACWAC flags missing details, invalid values, and broken links in your records. Review those warnings alongside your notes before preparing the report through your agency's own systems.
Warnings name the detail
Warnings identify a missing or inconsistent detail on the record it belongs to.
Review warnings together
The Warnings Hub gathers detected issues by section, from person and vehicle details to narrative links and recommendations.
Tap a warning, fix it
A warning takes you to the relevant editor, page, or section. Resolve the flagged detail, then review your notes for accuracy and completeness.
THE EVERYDAY DETAILS
And so much more.
From bus seating to seat-by-seat inspections, keep the details of a more involved investigation connected.
Bus seating, mapped out
Build a seating layout, place occupants in seats or wheelchair spaces, and record standing passengers. Link occupants to crash passengers and include the seating chart and roster in Word export.
Seat belt & air bag inspections TACWAC PRO
Record belt condition, child restraints, seat condition, and air bag findings seat by seat. Use passenger or bus layouts, note inspection limitations, and carry your findings into the narrative.
Vehicle damage sketches
Draw vehicle and towing damage with your finger. Keep the sketch with the vehicle and include it beside the vehicle details in your Word export.
California location details
Check city and county information for California map locations using built-in boundary data, even offline.
