Integration Guide

Vector Check It & Halligan

Put apparatus and equipment status on the screens in your stations — what is in service, what is overdue for a check, and what has an open work order.

About Vector Check It. Vector Check It — also known as Halligan — is Vector Solutions’ asset management and tracking application for public safety, covering apparatus and equipment inspections, service tickets, and controlled substances.

What we can put on your dashboard

Fleet and apparatus status

Unit image, name, and status — in or out of service
Overdue checklists per unit
Open work orders per unit

Equipment status

Name, make and model, status, and inspection status.

Sharing between agencies

In-service and out-of-service status can be shared with other agencies who also use First Arriving dashboards, subject to permissions.

What we need from you

You need a Check It, Vector Check It, or Halligan account. Setup works by creating a dedicated user for us and tying an authentication token to it.

Nobody may ever log in as the First Arriving user. The token stays valid only while that account is never signed into. One login breaks the integration and a new token has to be requested.

Create the dedicated user

In Check It go to User Management and add a new user with exactly these details:

First name: First
Last name: Arriving

Don’t give it a real person’s name, and don’t use it for anything else. It exists only so a token can be tied to it. It does not count against your Check It user maximum.

Ask the Check It team for the token

Send a request to your Vector Check It point of contact asking for an authentication token to be generated for the user named First Arriving. They generate it on their side.

Send us the token securely

Open a ticket at our support center including your department name, then submit the token through the First Arriving Secrets Tool and paste the link it generates into your ticket. Please don’t email the token. Full instructions: Sending First Arriving sensitive information.

If the connection stops working

The usual cause is somebody signing in as the First Arriving user. A replacement token can always be requested. Contact the Check It support team with:

The date you noticed it stop working
Whether anyone logged into the First Arriving account
Which devices and browsers were used to attempt a login

About vendor charges: data or API access could carry an additional charge, determined by the vendor and not by First Arriving.
