ROOK 1.2.59 / BY CANIS VIAE
ROOK gives officers a consistent, touch-friendly Windows workspace for the information their organization has approved. Its purpose is to reduce time spent searching through disconnected files while keeping content, access, computers, and releases under organization control.
PURPOSE & BOUNDARIES
Each organization receives its own portal, enrolled computers, officers, settings, and published reference release. Different departments can supply different information while ROOK keeps the package structure, navigation, search, and display behavior consistent.
ROOK brings approved reference material, optional offline location context, time-limited notices, protected officer access, Citizen Encounter Log submission, and verified updates into one organization-bound application.
ROOK is not CAD, RMS, dispatch, emergency communications, certified navigation or location equipment, legal advice, or a substitute for current law, agency policy, formal training, supervision, or professional judgment.
SUPPORTED DATA PACKAGES
Administrators select organization-specific packages, review the release, and publish a versioned snapshot. Only published, licensed content is delivered to computers enrolled to that organization.
People, units, courts, posts, assignments, and other contact lists.
Searchable titles, codes, summaries, and detailed reference entries.
Titled floor plans, facility maps, photographs, diagrams, and passive PDFs with optional officer notes and full-screen viewing.
Agency-approved web links, portals, document paths, and external resources.
Sensitive operational codes that stay concealed until an officer deliberately reveals one for 10 seconds.
Step-based procedures, field checklists, and repeatable operational guidance.
Facilities, addresses, access instructions, contacts, and location-specific notes.
BOLOs, advisories, shift notices, and other time-sensitive information.
Policies and directives with dates, summaries, and implementation guidance.
Services, eligibility information, contact details, and referral resources.

Platform-managed: Offline Map packages are prepared and validated by Canis Viae for the licensed organization; they are not general-purpose file uploads.
THE OFFICER EXPERIENCE
ROOK keeps navigation consistent across every approved package. Officers can search, select, and review structured information without leaving the application or sorting through unrelated files.
The current dashboard uses larger touch targets, a wider navigation scrollbar, visible agency assignment, direct encounter and correction actions, and one search across published references. Empty sections stay out of the way.
Searchable lists and a stable detail pane keep the selected reference visible while an officer moves through related results.
Quick guides and charging-language views organize the approved material into a clear, repeatable reading experience.
THE ADMINISTRATOR EXPERIENCE
Authorized administrators can see current readiness, review field activity, manage officer-facing content, and move verified releases through a clear organization-bound workflow.
Readiness controls, computer health, support work, and the next recommended action stay together so an administrator can identify what needs attention.
Filters, summaries, distributions, officer comparisons, permanent records, and exports use the same selected scope.
Administrators can select packages, preview the deployment, publish a verified snapshot, and confirm the live organization release.
Product preview. Every officer and administrator screen on this page uses synthetic public-demonstration profiles, references, and activity only. The featured officer dashboard was captured from ROOK 1.2.46; the supporting screens illustrate the same ROOK 1.2 interface family. Current procedures are maintained in the ROOK 1.2.59 user guide. No real customer, department, device, location, access code, encounter, or user information is shown.
A CONNECTED SYSTEM
ROOK connects the officer-facing application to an organization-specific administrative workspace. References and maps remain usable from the last verified local release, while connected services handle enrollment, current access checks, updates, notices, and Citizen Encounter Log submission.
Move from a broad search to the exact reference without working through folders or unrelated material. Title 39, the 2C Charging Manual, and field-sobriety references form the starting library.
Organization owners choose what officers receive. Packages can be prepared, previewed, released with required notes, updated, or removed without changing another organization’s workspace.
Organizations can require officer sign-in using an organization-scoped badge number and a six-digit PIN. Access, session timing, computer enrollment, and account status remain under administrative control.
ROOK 1.2.47 lets authenticated officers save encrypted stop drafts offline, queue completed stops, and view their own recent log in My Stops. Upload requires a valid connected officer session. Authorized reviewers receive statistics, exports, and an immutable correction workflow.
Location begins off. The officer can scan available Windows, USB or serial NMEA, and supported network NMEA sources, choose one, and enable it separately. ROOK does not connect automatically during a scan.
An approved GIS package opens in a dedicated full-width map workspace and can provide touch-oriented maps, literal road suggestions, cross-street selection, address matching, local nearest-intersection context, and straight-line guidance to a selected parcel address without sending routine location telemetry to Canis Viae. Guidance is not turn-by-turn road routing.
Authorized administrators can send time-limited notices to ROOK. Officers can check immediately, review received notices, and receive updates through the application’s normal synchronization process.
The shared Windows application is distributed through protected organization enrollment. Approved production releases are Microsoft-signed and timestamped, and enrolled computers check for verified application and content updates.
The portal brings license status, protected downloads, release adoption, enrolled computers, officer access, delegated permissions, and operational health into one organization-separated administrative workspace.
ROOK / CUSTOMER ACCESS
Licensed organization owners can manage the complete workspace. Delegated administrators have no commercial seat cap and see only the ROOK areas explicitly assigned by the owner. Ownership, billing, license keys, and administrator management remain owner-only.
Sign in with the organization owner or delegated administrator account connected to ROOK. Eligible portal access will appear directly on this page.
