“After several headaches with a company that will remain nameless, we were referred to ParCode by another business we work with. Life has been much easier ever since. What a great group of people to deal with.”

What goes on the tag
| Field | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| “Property of” your department | Ownership, readable on a radio or an AED without a scanner |
| Patch or logo | Tells your radios from a neighboring agency’s at a mutual-aid scene |
| Asset or unit number | The same number as the item’s record in your system |
| Barcode (Code 128 or Code 39) | One scan at issue, at return, and at inspection |
| QR code | A phone scan when there is no handheld scanner on the rig |
| Station or apparatus | Where it is assigned, such as Engine 3 or Medic 12 |
| Stripe color | Keeps police, fire, and EMS equipment separate |
| Return phone number | Gets equipment left at another agency back to you |
Equipment tags continue the numbers your system already uses, and location labels carry your own location codes.
Property & evidence room
Evidence room labels for every shelf, bin, and locker.
Barcode the storage locations, including the evidence refrigerator. When an item goes in or comes out, scanning the item and its location gives your evidence system a timestamped entry.
At audit or purge time, the count goes shelf by shelf.
- Labels laid out from your room map or location list
- Freezer-grade labels for the evidence refrigerators and freezers
- Pre-numbered barcode labels for items and containers, in one unbroken sequence
- Label printers, die-cut stock, and ribbon for the labels your evidence software prints
- Arrows and color bands, so a shelf label points at the right level
Radios, AEDs & issued equipment
Asset tags for radios, AEDs, and the equipment you issue.
Radios walk between shifts, cars, and mutual-aid scenes. A tag with your department name and the number from the issue record tells anyone who finds one where it belongs. With tamper-evident material, a tag peeled off one radio for another gives itself away.
- “Property of [your department]” with your patch or logo
- 0.3″ × 1″ and 0.5″ × 1.5″ sizes for radios, gas meters, and thermal imaging cameras
- A 2-part tag whose matching tab goes on the issue form
- Laptops and MDTs in the same number series as the rest of your equipment
Apparatus & station supplies
Fire apparatus compartment labels for the daily rig check.
Put a barcoded label in each compartment, and the crew can check its contents against that compartment’s list in your inventory system. Compartments see weather, washing, and exhaust. Test samples on the rig first.
- Compartment labels with the rig, the compartment number, and a barcode or QR
- Shelf and bin labels for the station supply room, with item and par level
- Magnetic labels for steel shelving where the layout changes
- Color coding by station, apparatus, or supply type
Case files & reports
Case file labels for folders that go to court and come back.
Case folders go to detectives, the prosecutor’s office, and court. Scan the folder’s barcode at each checkout, and your records management system keeps the history.
- Pre-numbered labels that can carry the year prefix your case numbers use
- Archive box labels, plus a barcoded location on every records room shelf
- Color stripes by year or case type, so a misfiled folder stands out

Tamper-evident material. A lifted ParVoid tag leaves VOID on the radio, and a ParDestruct tag breaks apart before it comes off whole.
That depends on the compartment and what it faces. From a photo, we can recommend a material to try on the truck before you order.
Yes. Each locker gets its number and a barcode. A pass-through locker can be labeled on both the officer’s side and the property room side.
Yes. Your patch or logo goes on the tag with the “Property of” wording and a return number, and you approve it on the proof.
