Public Safety Plugin
for ATAK.
ATAK was built for the battlefield. The Public Safety Plugin reshapes it for law enforcement, fire, and EMS, adding the roles, teams, and unit capabilities your operators actually use.
The ProblemATAK’s default roles and teams were designed for military units, not public safety operations.ATAK delivers powerful situational awareness, but its built-in organizational structure reflects its military origins. Roles like “Team Member” and rigid team structures don’t translate to how law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies actually operate. ACS engaged with a group of ATAK advocates in the public safety community to understand exactly where the gaps were. The result is the Public Safety Plugin, purpose-built to make ATAK work the way your agency works. The ACS SolutionThe plugin gives operators the ability to define custom roles, build named teams with identifying colors, and tag each EUD with its real-world capabilities. Every connected device becomes immediately identifiable: role, organization, and equipment at a glance. |

Key Features
Three capabilities that change how public safety uses ATAK.
Built from direct feedback with public safety ATAK users. Use them individually or together.
|
01
Custom RolesDefine roles that match your agency. Ships with defaults like SWAT, Medic, K9, Fire Engine, and Ambulance. Every role is fully editable so the list fits your organization. |
|
|
02
Custom TeamsName teams to reflect real agencies: “Myrtle Beach Fire” instead of “Blue Team.” Assign a color so personnel are visually identifiable at a glance, even in multi-agency operations. |
|
03
Additional CapabilitiesTag each EUD with the capabilities it carries. A fire engine unit with Advanced Life Saving capability gets tagged accordingly, so when a medic needs ALS support in the field, they find the right unit fast. |
|
In Action
Role, organization, and capabilities visible from the TAK Server dashboard.
Without the plugin, connected devices show as generic “Team Members.” With it, every unit is immediately identifiable by role and agency.
