Create your department
Sign up, name the department, place Station 1, and hand the admin role to the right person before the first incident lands.
Create your department — recording pending
What you need
- A work email. If your department has a claimed domain, signing in with that address joins the existing department instead of creating a second one.
- The station's street address. Station 1 is seeded for you, but it has no location until you give it one, and incident one needs a location to fall back on.
Steps
- Sign up at the app and choose Create department. You become its department admin.
- Place Station 1. The essentials checklist on the dashboard asks for it first. A station with no location is the single most common reason a first incident stalls.
- Invite the crew. Admin → Invites mints a code that reads aloud over a radio: no zeros, no letter O, no symbols. Per-person invites carry the email they were sent to.
- Appoint a second admin. Admin → Members → Transfer admin. A department with one admin cannot delete that admin's account later.
What this does not do
- every permission is enforced in the database as well as the interface — but do not describe it as a security product. Department data is scoped to the department; cross-department access requires an explicit share.
