About Us

Law Enforcement Software Solutions was created in 2004 to develop emerging technology and software solutions for public safety and law enforcement agencies.

Law Enforcement Software Solutions developed Traffic Stop Reporting (TSR) software to meet the need of agencies to report, track and analyze the 1.5 million traffic stops made each year. RSMo (2000) Section 590.650, loosely termed the “racial profiling law,” requires agencies to determine whether peace officers have a pattern of stopping members of minority groups for violations of vehicle laws in a number disproportionate to the population of minority groups. If reviews reveal patterns, agencies have to provide appropriate counseling and training within 90 days of the review to any peace officer found to have engaged in race-based traffic stops. TSR software provides multiple capabilities to identify trends and identify peace officers in need of counseling and training. TSR is easily modified to meet the needs of other states by adding or modifying the software to track additonal components.

Attorney General Jay Nixon said: “Missouri leads the country in assessing traffic stops, the overwhelming majority of law enforcement agencies and their officers have diligently complied with Missouri law by collecting this information and have worked with my office to ensure that our analysis is as accurate as possible.”
