Fleet & Apparatus app: set up your phone or tablet

Takes about 2 minutes. You need a connection for setup. After that the app works offline.

fleet.spcfpd.org

  1. Open the app

    Scan the code with your camera or type the address. Use Safari on iPhone / iPad or Chrome on Android.

  2. Add it to your Home Screen

    iPhone / iPad: tap Share ⬆ (on newer iOS it's under ⋯) › Add to Home Screen › Add

    Android: tap ⋮ › Add to Home screen or Install app

    Now close the browser and open the app from the new Fleet icon. Do steps 3–5 there. On iPhone, the icon keeps its own data, separate from Safari.

  3. Enter who you are

    Tap Data & settings. Under This device, fill in Your name, Member / badge ID and Role, then tap Save. These fill in your forms automatically.

  4. Connect to the server

    Under Server, leave Server address as api.php. Type the Access code your officer gives you, then tap Test.

    When it says “Connected — access code accepted”, tap Save & sync now.

    Never write the access code on this card or share it by text. Ask your officer.

  5. Check it worked

    The badge at the top shows Synced. Tap Fleet: your department's units should be listed. You're done.

The app syncs when you open it, every 2 minutes while it's open, and when signal returns.

If something's wrong

  • Units missing or out of date: Data & settings › Re-download everything.
  • New or replaced phone: repeat steps 1–5. All records come back from the server.
  • Shared or loaner device: when you're done, tap Disconnect.
  • Don't use Erase this device or delete the app unless the badge says Synced. Anything still waiting would be lost.
  • Still stuck? Contact the fleet program manager.
