The Supervisor roles (Captain and Lieutenant) carry the following responsibilities in AngelTrack:
- Review the HIPAA Compliance Guide and understand the organization's responsibilities under the law.
- Set up new employees after the Administrator has added them to AngelTrack, making sure the employee knows how to maintain his or her mobile phone number, email address, and list of certificates.

- Monitor vehicle fuel levels, directing refueling operations when vehicles report they are low on fuel. AngelTrack's fuel log system provides continuous estimates of each vehicle's remaining fuel; Supervisors need only bookmark the Fuel Status Report page and watch for vehicles to turn red.

- Monitor the Postprocess Status Report to identify employees with backlogs of unfinished/uncorrected reports.
- Create a products list and begin using AngelTrack to keep inventory of the supply rooms from which crews restock their trucks.

Captains have additional responsibilities:
- Review the Disaster Preparedness Guide, develop a disaster plan for the organization, and test the plan based on your agencies' protocls. This includes the staging of paper forms in the dispatch office and in vehicles, to be used when temporarily running without AngelTrack.
- Monitor the incident system, to triage unassigned incidents to the right people and to identify stale incidents that require intervention.
- Monitor the Ontime Arrival by Facility report to identify tardiness problems before they result in a customer complaint.
- Maintain the Medication List to reflect the medications currently carried by BLS/ALS crews.
- Maintain the Lab Tests List to reflect the on-scene lab tests, if any, currently offered by the company.
- Create new certificate types, and deactivatate unused ones, to meet the company's certificate-tracking needs.
- Create custom PCR fields so as to require crews to collect information specifically required by your operation, or by your city, or by your state health department.
- Edit AngelTrack's facility records to add ER phone numbers for your frequently used hospitals. When AngelTrack has an ER phone number for a facility, it will show it to crews who are headed towards it, allowing them (if using AngelTrack on their smartphones) to just click the phone number to call the ER directly instead of going through the hospital's phone system.
