OPS Operational Planner

Welcome to the OPS Operational Planner

This tool helps you create professional operational plans for law enforcement operations. Your data is stored locally in your browser and can be exported for use in the OPS CONNECT Network.

Key Features

• Form Persistence: All form data is automatically saved to your browser's local storage as you type.
• Dynamic Personnel Management: Add, remove, and reorder personnel with drag-and-drop functionality.
• Suspect & U/C Personnel Tracking: Manage suspect information and undercover personnel details.
• Map Links: Generate Google Maps links for all operation locations.
• Image Attachments: Upload and attach images to your operational plan.

Export Options

• Grab for OPS CONNECT: This button grabs all data (minus images) that can be directly pasted into any OPS CONNECT Group or IMS|hub for secure mobile distribution. Add images and each group serves as a mobile alert application for the finalized plan.
• Export PDF: Generate a professional PDF document with proper formatting, margins, and page breaks. The PDF includes all sections, tables, and images.
• Save Data for OPS CONNECT: This saves your operational plan data as a ZIP file containing a JSON file. You can store this ZIP file in the OPS CONNECT Command Center documents for backup and sharing purposes.
• Export JSON: Save your form data as a JSON file for local backup or import into another session.

OPS CONNECT Network Integration

The OPS CONNECT Network is a comprehensive law enforcement communication and information management system. This tool integrates with OPS CONNECT in several ways:

• OPS CONNECT Groups: Use "Grab for OPS CONNECT" to copy formatted content that can be pasted into group messages in IMS|hub.
• OPS CONNECT Command Center: Save your operational plan data as a ZIP file and upload it to the Command Center documents section for centralized storage and access.
• Mobile Access: This tool works as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing you to install it on your mobile device's home screen for quick access in the field.

Using the Tool

3. Add Suspects/U/C Personnel: Add suspect information and undercover personnel details as needed.
4. Generate Map Links: Enter addresses and click "Generate Map Link" to create clickable Google Maps links.

Mobile Installation

This tool can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your mobile device:

• iOS: Tap the Share button, then "Add to Home Screen"
• Android: Tap the menu (three dots) and select "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"

Tips

• All data is stored locally in your browser - it never leaves your device unless you export it
• Use "Import JSON" to load a previously saved operational plan
• Custom dropdown options (agencies, weapons, vehicle makes/models) are saved and persist across sessions
• The PDF export respects page margins and prevents section titles from being orphaned
