K9 Activity Tracking System - Records Management
Protecting K9 Teams since 1991
We pioneered K9 records management. KATS was the first software ever developed for law enforcement K9 operations and continues to be the industry leader through ongoing development and enhancements. It was more than a decade before any competitors came into existence. We set the standard that all others try to emulate. The K9 Activity Tracking System is a dynamic record keeping program designed specifically for police K9 operations, training and deployments, designed to protect officers and agencies from potential liability. KATS has been developed by police K9 officers, prosecuting attorneys and software engineers to meet the needs of today’s law enforcement dog teams and has been protecting K9 units since 1991. It can be used from any platform without the need for software or application downloads.
