How to use it without getting burned
Before
Hit Start when you activate your lights, not when you walk up.
Your phone clock, CAD, and bodycam should agree within seconds. Check once per shift.
Type the basis for the stop now, while it is fresh.
During
Tap Reasonable suspicion developed the moment you have it and write the facts in the note. This single entry is what justifies everything after it.
Tap K9 requested at the radio call, not when you think of it.
Keep working the mission while you wait. The clock does not stop.
After
Copy the timeline straight into your narrative. Do not retype times from memory.
Reconcile with bodycam before you submit. If they disagree, the bodycam wins and your report says so.
Clear the timer only after the report is written.
Policy check. Using a personal phone during a stop may be restricted by your department. A department tablet, MDT browser, or a second officer running the timer all work. The timeline is a memory aid, not an official record.
