What are Lookups and Runs?
There are two ways to look someone up:
- Run is a quick check on a person, vehicle or licence, showing warrants, licences and alerts in one place.
- Record Search (also called Lookup) searches every record by name, plate, licence, identifier or record number.
Use Run to find out who a person or vehicle is. Use Record Search to find a specific report or record. Both work on every service panel.
Run
Click Run Search in the top bar, pick a tab and enter what you have. You can also open Run from:
- A Run page in a custom layout.
- A quick traffic stop, which runs the plate first.
- The licence scanner in the Melonly desktop app, which opens the scanned licence.
| Tab | Enter |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | Plate (up to 10 characters) |
| Name | First, Last and DOB. DOB is only needed if your server turned off autocomplete. |
| Licence | Licence number |
| You run | You get |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | The vehicle, its registered owner (with warrant status) and the owner's licences |
| Name | The person, active warrants with charges, their licences and registered vehicles |
| Licence | The licence and holder, plus linked records for your panel |
Use Run name, Run vehicle or Open record on any card to dig deeper. Your last 25 runs are in the history icon.
Licence Results
Licence cards show a status (Valid, Expired, Suspended or Revoked), class, conditions, points and dates. Police units can click Suspend.
Licences restricted to other agencies don't appear.
After a Run
- Add to call links the results to your assigned call.
- New Record starts a record filled in from the results.
Record Search
Open Record Search from the CAD menu, the Quick Lookup keybind or the Search tab in Records Centre.
| Tab | Search by |
|---|---|
| Name | First, Last, DoB, middle initial, alias |
| Vehicle | Plate |
| Licence | Licence number |
| ROBLOX | Roblox username (civilians only, if your server uses it) |
| Custom tabs | Your server's search indices, such as phone number |
| Identifier | Unit number, agency, subdivision, badge number |
| Record ID | A record's number |
Switch tabs with Ctrl + 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Results are grouped by record type, up to 50 at a time. Exact name matches have a green outline. Use the create menu on a civilian, licence or vehicle row to start a record filled from it.
Agency-restricted records only show to units in that agency. On the DOT panel, Record Search only finds DOT records, so use Run to check people and vehicles.
Alerts and Warnings
Runs and searches flag anything important. A tone plays and the CAD reads the flags aloud.
| Flag | Color | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Alerts | Red | Active warrant, or a template option your server marks as a flag |
| Warnings | Yellow | Licence expired, suspended or revoked; registration expired or cancelled |
On the Police panel, alerts are also sent to dispatchers. See Flagged lookups.
Licence Data
Click View Licence Data on a licence record to see its history.
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| Demerit History | Each set of points, why and when they drop off |
| Suspension History | Each suspension, its length, RP days left and the reason |
