CORE by Badge Apps

Badge Apps

About this app

CORE puts real-time incident command in the palm of your hand. Built for law
enforcement — barricaded subjects, missing persons, homicides, officer-involved
shootings, major investigations, and planned events — CORE keeps every officer,
detective, and commander working from the same operational picture.
Everything syncs live with the CORE command post on the web, so the field and
the command post never disagree.
EVERY CASE, ONE PLACE
• Open incidents, closed cases, and archives in one list
• Case information, narrative summary, and file numbers
• Offense details and legal process tracking — arrest warrants, search
warrants, and court orders move Needed → In Progress → Obtained → Served
• Field Mode turns your agency's paper protocols (officer-involved shooting,
death investigation) into structured, guided forms
THE SHARED OPERATIONAL MAP
• Every address on the incident is pinned automatically
• Draw perimeters, ping radii, routes, staging areas, and evacuation zones
• Live team positions — share your location at High, Balanced, or Battery Saver
update rates and watch teammates move in real time
• Satellite, street, and USGS topographic base maps with live weather radar
• Download offline maps before you lose signal
THE CASE RECORD IN THE FIELD
• Persons, vehicles, and locations with full attributes, photos, and documents
• Officer-safety flags surfaced on every person record
• Suspects, victims, witnesses, and reporting parties organized by role
• Attach photos straight from the camera — they file themselves and log
automatically
COORDINATION THAT KEEPS UP
• Secure incident chat with a channel for every unit, @mentions, photos,
reactions, and pinned orders
• Tasks with one-tap completion, comment threads, and assignment filters
• Event Log — the timestamped record of the incident, one tap from any screen
• Command objectives board: assign, complete, and time-stamp every benchmark
• Push notifications when the app is closed; in-app previews while you work
• Incident timers, negotiator status, and SWAT on-scene tracking
BUILT FOR CJIS ENVIRONMENTS
• Passkey (biometric) step-up before any case data loads
• Automatic idle lock and Edit Mode protection against accidental changes
• Full audit trail of who changed what and when
• Case data is stored in a CJIS-aligned government cloud — never on
third-party relays
PHONE, TABLET, AND WEB
CORE is designed for both phones and tablets. On a tablet the app becomes a
mobile command post — the dashboard runs beside a live event log, and chat gets
a full channel sidebar. Everything stays in sync with the CORE website.
TRY IT FIRST
Tap "Explore the demo" on the sign-in screen to walk through two complete
example incidents — no account required, no real data involved.
CORE requires a Badge Apps agency account for live use. CORE is a product of
Badge Apps and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
