Device and connectivity

Set your unit / call sign via admin — see Profile and unit. Use Training Mode for practice without affecting citations or NCIC submissions.
  • Dispatch CAD — dispatcher workflows, command line, and SMS from call detail
  • Web Admin — agency settings that enable NCIC, traffic stops, and notifications
Voice alerts use device volume — adjust before shift. NCIC and CJIS data must stay on approved channels per agency policy.
