K9 Training and Live Tracking Native Mobile Application

当警察使用他们的狗来追踪嫌疑人时，就会出现一个必须完成后续文书工作的时刻。这个记录狗和警察活动的过程必须经受住法律审查的严格要求，通常是在法院系统内。K9活动跟踪系统(KATSK9)是一种犬活动跟踪系统。该系统为警方K9操作员提供了一个动态记录管理系统。它包括关于狗的训练和部署的信息。KATK9面临着在实时跟踪方面融入创新的挑战。地理空间技术的使用可以为这一挑战提供解决方案。南艾伯塔省理工学院(SAIT)创新信息技术解决方案中心(CIITS)将与KATSK9咨询和培训公司(KATSK9)合作开发一种新型移动应用程序，以满足警官识别的犬只跟踪和现场部队在参与追捕时的培训需求。这项研究的结果将为拍摄和地理标记证据提供方便的移动相机。它将显示狗和警官所走的路线。该项目的一个优先事项是让该应用程序在Android和iOS设备上进行本机操作。这将通过使用Xamarin(基于C#语言的双平台开发的开源产品)的原型研究和开发来实现。该应用程序将实现强大的GPS路径跟踪，遵守严格的UI/UX标准，并集成到KATSK9的S云跟踪系统中的报告系统中。对于用户来说，结果将是一个最先进的GPS跟踪系统，用于官员和安全记录，经得起我们法律制度的严格要求。交付成果是一种工具，可促进培训、跟踪、记录管理，并最终降低K9警察可能面临法律挑战的可能性。

When police service members engage the use of their dogs to track a suspect, there comes a point where follow-up paperwork must be completed. This process of recording the dog and officer's activities must stand up to the rigors of a legal review, often within the court system. K9 Activity Tracking System (KATSK9) is a canine activity tracking system. The system provides a dynamic record management system for police K9 operators. It includes information about the training and deployment of the dogs. KATK9 is challenged to incorporate innovations in real-time tracking. The use of geospatial technology can provide a solution to this challenge. The Center for Innovative Information Technology Solutions (CIITS) at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) will work with KATSK9 Consulting and Training Corp. (KATSK9) to develop a novel mobile application that addresses officer identified canine tracking and training needs for units in the field while involved in a pursuit. The outcome of this research will provide easy access to mobile cameras for photographing and geotagging evidence. It will show the route taken by the dog and the officer. A priority of this project is to have the application operate natively on Android and iOS devices. This will be achieved through the research and development of a prototype using Xamarin (an open source product for dual platform development based on C# language). This application will implement robust GPS route tracking, adhere to strict UI/UX standards and be integrated into the report system within KATSK9's cloud based tracking system. The outcome for the users will be a state-of-the-art GPS tracking system for officer and secure records that hold-up to the rigors of our legal system. The deliverable is a tool that facilitates training, tracking, record management and ultimately reducing the potential that K9 police officers might face legal challenges.
