FINDER® Pawn

Stolen property has a paper trail. Follow it.

Automated, paperless reporting of pawn, secondhand, and scrap metal transactions. FINDER Pawn puts shop transaction data next to your case records, so property leads surface while they still matter.

Why it works

Property crime crosses jurisdictions faster than the paperwork does.

An item taken in one city gets pawned in the next one over. When transaction data sits in an isolated system, that connection never gets made. FINDER Pawn reports shop transactions into the same platform your agency already searches, and participating agencies can see pawn, secondhand, and scrap activity from across the network.

Agencies searching FINDER Investigate query pawn transactions and police reports at the same time, which means a property lead and a case record surface together instead of in two separate searches on two separate days.

> item serial number + description
> checked FCIC / NCIC stolen property
> matched 2 transactions, 2 shops, 1 seller
> linked seller appears in 4 agency reports
For law enforcement

Built around the work property crime detectives already do.

Every FINDER Pawn subscription includes the full toolset. No per-feature upsell.

Automated stolen property checks

Transactions run against FCIC and NCIC automatically, so a hit surfaces without anyone remembering to look.

Frequent pawners and scrappers

Reporting that surfaces repeat sellers by volume and pattern, which is where property crime cases usually start.

Shop compliance reporting

Automated compliance reports per shop, so you can see who is reporting, who is late, and who is not reporting at all.

Network-wide visibility

View pawn, secondhand, and scrap metal transactions reported to other FINDER agencies, not just your own.

Hosted in AWS GovCloud

Your agency retains ownership of its data. Access and user administration stay under your control.

Simple user administration

Agency administrators add, remove, and manage their own users and shops without opening a support ticket.

In the platform

One search across pawn transactions and case records.

FINDER search results across connected data sources
Participating agencies query pawn and police reports together.
For pawn shops

Shops report at no cost, and the manual work goes away.

There is no charge to pawn shops reporting to a participating FINDER agency. Shops get finance charge calculation on pawn loans, searchable and editable tickets, FTP and bulk transaction upload, and their own user management.

The result is fewer hours on paperwork, cleaner compliance records, and less risk of taking in property that turns out to be stolen.
