Training Mode lets officers practice MDT features with mock data without affecting real citations, NCIC submissions, or similar records.

​
Activating training mode

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Find ROOKIE / TRAINING MODE.
  3. Tap ENABLE SANDBOX.
  4. Enter the Supervisor PIN (default training PIN: 0000).
  5. Training mode is now active.

​
What changes

Visual indicators:
  • Orange banner: TRAINING MODE - MOCK DATA ACTIVE
  • Simulated data for training modules
  • No real submissions or transmissions from training modules
Module behavior (typical):
  • NCIC: Mock search results
  • E-Tickets: Preview only — nothing printed or transmitted
  • FIR: Saved in memory only (live mode stores drafts and submissions on the server)
  • Unit calendar: Sample events for practice (live mode loads agency Ops Calendar data)
  • BOLOs: Session mock data
  • Chat: Simulated messages
  • Calls/CAD: Often remains live — confirm your agency SOP; many deployments keep real call data visible for context

​
Deactivating training mode

  1. Return to Settings.
  2. Tap DISABLE SANDBOX (no PIN required to disable).
  3. App returns to live mode.

​
Tips

  • Use training mode during academy or FTO shifts before going live on citations or NCIC.
  • If your agency uses a Sandbox organization in admin, prefer that for full end-to-end testing instead of device-only training mode.
  • Supervisors should change the default PIN if your agency policy requires it.

​
Warnings

Training mode behavior varies by module — do not assume all data is mock. Verify with your agency before relying on it for compliance testing.
Do not use training mode on shared devices without telling the next user — the orange banner is easy to miss if the device stays logged in.
