WHAT IT DOES

Deployed is the paperwork half of K9 work, which is most of it. Training sessions, deployments, certifications, medical and vaccination history, equipment — and the reports that have to come back out of all of it. Five tabs: Today, Log, Start, Groups, Team.

iOS today. An Android build is in development and close to beta — plenty of handlers aren't carrying an iPhone, and a records tool that only works on half a unit isn't much of a records tool.

LOGGED LIVE, NOT RECONSTRUCTED

A session timer runs during training, with pause, and the exercise picker is scoped to the discipline being worked. The record gets written while the dog is working.

That is the whole design argument. Records reconstructed at the end of a shift are records written from memory, and a defense attorney will ask when you wrote them.

BLIND DETECTION WORK

A detection record is only worth something if the handler didn't know where the hides were. Hides can be set on the day and stay sealed from the handler until the dog has worked, and it still works in a building with no signal.

HELPERS

Decoys and volunteers sign in free as helpers and can take part in a group's training. A helper never sees a handler's records.

SEARCH PLANNER

From a last-seen point and the direction the subject was headed, the app suggests a perimeter and where to look first. Both are educated guesses. The dog and physical sign come first.

CERTIFICATION AND REPORTS

USPCA patrol and narcotics certification tracking, with expiry in view rather than discovered. Reports generate as PDF over a date range; records export as PDF, CSV or Word.

OFFLINE FIRST

The app is fully usable with no account, and that is the default rather than a degraded mode. Signing in adds cloud backup and training groups, and a signed-in handler who replaces a phone signs in again and gets the K9 and every record back.

AVATARS STAY ON THE PHONE

Files attached to records come back on a new phone, privately. A K9's avatar and cover photo are never uploaded, so export keeps them. It is stated plainly in the privacy policy rather than discovered after a phone dies.

DATA

Device first. Signing in adds cloud backup and training groups; without it, your records never leave the phone.

Training groups share a roster and what gets published to them. Personal training records, deployments and medical history are never shared with a group — joining one gives nobody access to them. A supervisor or trainer sees records only after the handler approves the connection, can't change anything, and loses access the moment the handler ends it.
