Chief Mobile is has redundant alerting using a combination of Tone Alerting & CAD Alerting. Allows you to receive & map incidents from your 911 dispatch center quickly. A push notification will alert you when a new dispatch occurs and forward you to the incident information and map. With Tone Alert, Chief Mobile works like your Fire Pager providing two sources for alerting. You can also receive messages that are sent out by other personnel. Get notified of open shifts, training, and other announcements instantly. The latest version allows you to reply to messages. Allows your personnel to update their status (i.e. Responding Station 1, Available, etc.). Their ETA is tracked while responding. Allows companies that use Chief Scheduling to view the company schedule by day and their own schedule. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Your license depends on your CE. OnTrack CE shows you exactly where you stand: what you owe, what you have done, and how long you have left. Set up in under two minutes. Pick your credential and state, and OnTrack CE fills in your board's cycle length, required hours, and mandated courses. Then it shows your whole plan on one screen, with the monthly pace that keeps you on track. PRE-FILLED REQUIREMENTS • Registered Nurses (RN): 20 states • Physical Therapists (PT / DPT): 10 states • Dental Hygienists (RDH): 12 states • Registered Dietitians (RD / RDN) • Any other license: add it yourself and set your own requirements. Physicians, respiratory therapists, social workers, pharmacy techs, counselors, and many more already do. You can edit every number. Your board has the final word, not the app. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log a credit in seconds: course, provider, date, credits, and category. • Attach the certificate. Snap a photo or add a file, so every record is in one place if your board asks. • See progress by requirement. Mandated topics such as ethics, medical errors, or human trafficking each get their own tracker. • Know your pace. See credits remaining, days left, and whether you are on track. • Watch self-study limits. If your board caps self-paced CE, the dashboard tells you when you pass the limit. • Get reminders before your renewal date, and a nudge if you fall behind. • Track more than one license or renewal cycle. • Check progress from your Home Screen with the widget. FREE TO START Set up one certification and log your first credit free. OnTrack CE Pro unlocks unlimited credit logging and more than one license. Choose monthly or annual, both with a free trial, or pay once for lifetime access. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your CE records stay on your device. OnTrack CE helps you track continuing education credits. Pre-filled requirements come from publicly available information and may change.
