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.

At the bottom left corner of the page, the Officer can see three buttons named "NTF", "Message" and "Officer".
The First option is "NTF", which notifies the Officer when they receive any notifications.

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.

It contains all the fields required to gather information regarding moving citations. The first tab is for General which contains general info like Citation Type, Reference #, Date, Citation #, Officer, Common Name, Street#, Street Name, City, State, Zip, Country, MPH, Zone, Road Type, Road Citation, Visibility, Void, Court Date and Notes. The person tab can be used to add person details that were involved, the vehicle tab can be used to add Vehicle details, the charges tab allows one to enter charges related to that citation, and the Tow tab to add Tow information if there are any.
Profile Data
It is possible that some departments do not report Profile Data, so this section may not apply to all departments. The Profile Data can be added to a Case, CAD Event, or Field Interview. ARMS default settings keep it in Moving Citation or a Field Interview, it can be turned on by Admin, by changing it from System Defaults. But it's good practice to keep it in Moving Citation to avoid duplicity.
Officers can edit profile data, by clicking three dots at the end. It has Edit and Removes option.
All basic information to report profile data is in the first tab i.e., Stop Information.
If some required dropdowns do not show any data, then the department admin has to add data to that list by going to Code List.
Added Profile Data can be reviewed by navigating to the "Profile Data Review” tab from Home Screen.
