View active BOLOs broadcast from dispatch and search warrant information from the MDT.
BOLOs require the agency CAD module. E-citation-only agencies do not see Warrants & BOLOs in the sidebar.

​
Open

Sidebar → Warrants & BOLOs (or equivalent menu label in your deployment).

​
Prerequisites

  • Your agency has CAD enabled (not e-citation-only).
  • You are signed in on the mobile MDT.

​
Tabs

Use SEARCH DATABASE… to filter by subject name, charge, BOLO title, or summary. Pull down to refresh the list. If load fails, tap RETRY on the error banner.

​
Warrants list

In live mode, warrants are not pre-loaded. Enter a subject last name (or Last, First) in SEARCH DATABASE… and tap the Search arrow (or press Enter). Results come from a CJIS wanted-person query for your agency. Confirm extradition and status with dispatch before enforcement. In Training Mode, the app shows explicit sample warrant records for practice. These are not live CJIS data. If NCIC access is disabled for your agency, the warrants tab shows a notice and search is unavailable. Desktop layout shows columns:
  • STATUS
  • SUBJECT NAME
  • DOB
  • CHARGE
  • BOND
  • AGENCY
  • ACTIONS → DETAILS
Compact layout uses cards with the same information.

​
Warrant details

DETAILS opens WARRANT DETAILS:
  • ACTIVE WARRANT CONFIRMED banner
  • EXTRADITION LIMITS MAY APPLY. CONFIRM WITH DISPATCH.
  • Grid: SUBJECT, DOB, CHARGE, BOND, DATE ISSUED, ISSUING AGENCY
  • CLOSE
Screenshot placeholder: WARRANT DETAILS dialog
In Training Mode, sample warrants are shown for practice only. In live mode, search by name to run a CJIS wanted-person query — there is no standing warrant feed in the MDT until you search.

​
BOLOs grid

Each BOLO card shows:
  • Type (e.g. stolen vehicle, wanted person, missing person, information)
  • Title and summary text
  • Priority badge (High / Medium / Low)
  • Thumbnail image when dispatch attached a photo
  • Time issued (relative, e.g. “2h ago”)
Tap a card for BOLO DETAILS — full image, type, title, summary, and extended details text.

BOLOs update in near real time when dispatch publishes or cancels alerts.

​
Voice announcement

Settings → Announce BOLO When enabled, the device speaks “New BOLO — ” when a new BOLO arrives after you open the screen. See Settings and display.

​
Relationship to dispatch

Dispatchers create BOLOs from Dispatch CAD (header BOLO or dashboard BOLOs tab). Field units see the same active list here. See Dispatch CAD documentation: BOLO, greaseboard, and wrecker.

​
Tips

  • Refresh after long offline periods.
  • Read full BOLO DETAILS before initiating a stop — photos and narrative may not fit on the card.
  • For warrants, always confirm STATUS and extradition limits with dispatch or records.

​
Warnings

BOLO and warrant information may contain sensitive PII — follow CJIS and agency dissemination policy.
Do not rely on training or sample warrant data for enforcement — verify live records through dispatch or NCIC when required.
