Field use cases
How officers put LOC8 to work.
One question, answered fast: where am I, and how do I get someone else here? Here is how that plays out across a shift, and where LOC8 earns its place on each call.
Built for the officer, not the dispatch console
LOC8 is a personal location tool. It is not a CAD terminal and it is not a dispatch map. It answers one question fast, where am I, and it helps you put another unit on that spot. No login, no console, no account.
That is the whole job, and it is the job that matters most when a call goes sideways. Here is where it earns its place, call by call.
Scenario by scenario
Foot pursuit
You have left the address behind. Glance down, read your nearest cross street, and dispatch routes backup to the right corner.
Rural or dead-zone call
No bars out in the county. Your coordinates, compass, and pins keep working, and the address fills in when you reconnect.
Calling in backup
An address gets a unit to the building, not to you. Share a three-word address and they land on your exact spot.
Hands full on patrol
Phone holstered, hands busy. Turn your wrist for the full readout, no phone and no taps.
Problem houses and camps
Pin a problem house, an encampment, or a rural site with no address, and find it again any shift.
Traffic stop on the highway
No house number on the shoulder. Call in the nearest cross street or mile-marker position so the next unit finds you fast.
What every call has in common
- Instant position with no taps and no login
- Works offline when coverage drops
- A three-word address to put anyone on your spot
- Everything on your wrist as well as your phone
