Sharing Live Tracking With the Police — Safely and Properly

Recovering stolen tools is a team effort: your tracking finds them, the police retrieve them. The smoother you make that handover, the better your chances. Localizit is built to give officers exactly what they need — accurate, live, verifiable — without any fuss.

Create a secure share link

From any tagged item in Localizit you can generate a secure share link. It opens a live, read-only view of that item's current location and recent movement history in any web browser — the officer doesn't need an account or the app. You stay in control: the link only shows what you choose to share, and you can revoke it at any time.

What to send the officer

1. Your crime reference number, so everything is logged against your case.
2. The secure Localizit share link showing live location and history.
3. Your serial-number register for the stolen items, with photos.
4. A short, factual summary: what was taken, when, and from where.

Let the professionals make the recovery

Your job is to provide accurate information. Recovering the tools — and any confrontation — is the job of the police. Never attend a location yourself.

Why this works

Police forces deal with a flood of tool-theft reports, and many go nowhere simply because there's nothing to act on. A live location, a movement trail and matching serial numbers turn your report from a statistic into an actionable lead. It's the difference between 'we'll log it' and 'we can do something with this'.

Tag your tools, register your serials, and keep a calm plan for the worst day — and you turn tool theft from a disaster into something you're ready for. That's what Localizit is built for.
