ROOK BY CANIS VIAE

A managed field workspace for agency information and activity

ROOK combines agency-approved references, optional offline GIS tools, officer access, operational notices, structured Citizen Encounter Log submission, and managed Windows updates. Administrators control what is published and who can use it.

THE OFFICER EXPERIENCE

A focused workspace for fast reference

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.

Only published tools appear

The dashboard gives officers a direct path into the references their organization has approved. Unpublished and empty sections stay out of the way.

THE ADMINISTRATOR EXPERIENCE

One workspace for oversight and deployment

Authorized administrators can see current readiness, review field activity, manage officer-facing content, and move verified releases through a clear organization-bound workflow.

01 / ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

Operational status without guesswork

Readiness controls, computer health, support work, and the next recommended action stay together so an administrator can identify what needs attention.

A CONNECTED SYSTEM

Built for the full field-information lifecycle

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.

01

Searchable field references

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.

02

Agency-controlled content

Organization owners choose what officers receive. Packages can be prepared, previewed, released with required notes, updated, or removed without changing another organization’s workspace.

03

Officer accounts and PIN access

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.

04

Structured Citizen Encounter Log

Authenticated officers can submit required stop information without ROOK retaining a local stop history. Authorized reviewers receive organization and officer statistics, state-data and PDF exports, and an immutable correction workflow.

05

Selectable location sources

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.

06

Offline GIS assistance

An approved GIS package can provide touch-oriented maps, literal road suggestions, cross-street selection, address matching, and local nearest-intersection context without sending routine location telemetry to Canis Viae.

07

Operational notifications

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.

08

Verified application updates

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.

09

License and access visibility

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

One workspace for content, people, and deployment

Licensed organization owners can publish information, manage officer access, issue protected downloads, monitor computers and release adoption, review Citizen Encounter Log activity, and manage licensing without moving between separate systems.
