ARMS Mobile Home screen
The first screen that officers see after login is the Home Screen, as shown below. This screen will provide the Officer access to each section of ARMS Mobile.
Figure 1 ARMS Home Screen
Officers can check the current version of their ARMS by hovering over the ARMS logo at the upper left corner of the page. This can also be considered a home button, so no matter where the Officers are on the ARMS Mobile website, clicking on that logo will bring them back to the Home Screen.
Figure 2 ARMS Version
At the bottom left corner of the page, the Officer can see three buttons named "NTF", "Message" and "Officer".
Figure 3 Bottom Menu
The First option is "NTF", which notifies the Officer when they receive any notifications.
The "Message" button with the envelope icon will take the Officer to the Instant Messaging page. This page is for communicating with other officers, dispatchers, and administrators through the ARMS system. This is also where Officers are alerted if they have a case submitted, approved, or kicked back to them.

The "Officer" button has a small menu with multiple options that appear when the officer clicks the button.
Figure 5 User Menu
The first option is "About". It shows the ARMS version number and information about their department according to their ARMS Support Site records. It includes information such as Site name, Department Name, Address, Chief of Police, Chief Police Email Address, Next Support Due date, Invoice Address, Invoice for the department, and email address that the invoice will be sent.

Under that, a button lets the Officer toggle between day mode and night mode. Day mode has a white background so that the dark icons are easier to see in sunlight, and night mode has a background so that the site is not too bright. Below is an example of the Home Screen in night mode.

Next to it is "My Account", which allows Officers to change the password for their account and Manage Security Questions to enable password recovery if they have permission.

The final button on the menu is the "Logout" button for when Officers are done in ARMS and need to log out or log in as a different Officer.
