Sentinel ID Field
Field work on Android phones and tablets
Approved devices connect officers to complaints, dispatches, authorised searches and emergency response.
- Approved Android phones and tablets support the Field workflow, responsive screens and portrait or landscape capture.
- Device-owner biometrics or PIN can unlock protected local access. The built-in phone sensor does not export public identity-search fingerprints.
- Offline access follows cached authorisation and expiry rules. Encrypted drafts and a retry queue preserve supported work until connectivity returns.
- In-app conversations support replies, with SOS, dispatch, voice and requested live video subject to permissions and connectivity. Location reporting suppresses unchanged coordinates and GPS jitter.
SOS and control-room contact
- Send an SOS with optional coordinates. If GPS is unavailable, the app can still submit a report.
- Call headquarters or an available colleague. Control can call back if a one-to-one call drops.
- Receive a dispatch, accept it and report arrival or completion. Network and device notification permissions apply.
The phone’s built-in fingerprint sensor unlocks the app. Identity enrolment and searches require a suitable external scanner or an imported fingerprint sample.
The complete field workflow
From a record check to the next assignment
Explore the individual screens and tasks. Images show fictional demonstration records; the available actions follow the user’s permissions and device configuration.
Check a plate and papers
Read or enter a plate and review the available vehicle, document and flag records.
Works without a signal
Save supported complaint drafts in encrypted local storage and synchronise when connectivity returns. Fresh server searches still need a connection.
Dispatches
Receive instructions, accept an assignment and report arrival or completion.
Calls and backup
Contact colleagues or headquarters. Control can call back after a dropped one-to-one call. Voice across networks may need a configured relay.
Messages and broadcasts
Receive targeted notices and supported voice broadcasts, subject to connectivity, app settings and device permissions.
The phone as a remote camera
Headquarters requests camera sharing; the officer controls permission before the view is shared.
Wanted list and my cases
Review permitted wanted records, assigned cases and investigation details from the field.
A complaint from the scene
Capture descriptions, statements, photos and available GPS. Review spelling suggestions before applying them.
Warnings in context
Review vehicle flags and document warnings alongside the source record. A warning still needs an appropriate officer decision.
Device approval and app lock
Use approved devices, secure storage, session controls and supported biometric or PIN unlock.
Officer settings and managed updates
Configure the field workflow and notification permissions. Headquarters manages the supported Android release process.
Phone and tablet layouts are supported. Built-in device biometrics unlock the app; they do not supply fingerprints for searching another person’s identity.
