Using the CAD on duty
Signing on, calls, lookups, panics, BOLOs and messages.
Go on duty in the CAD
Sign on with your department and callsign, skip the panel screen with a default, go off duty, and fix the messages that stop you signing on.
Create calls and dispatch units to them
Open a call, attach units, change priority and details, then clear it with a disposition. Also covers merging duplicates and reopening a call that closed too early.
Work a call as a police, fire or EMS unit
Set your status, attach yourself to calls, add notes, link people and vehicles, open your own calls and clear them when you're done.
Run name, plate and serial lookups
Search people, plates, firearm serials and businesses while on duty, read what comes back, and know which units can search what.
Use the panic button and Signal 100
Raise a panic when you need help now, acknowledge one as dispatch, and hold the radio with a Signal 100 for every unit or for one call.
Put out a BOLO and clear it
Tell every unit to be on the lookout for a person or vehicle, see BOLOs on plate searches, and clear them once the subject is found.
Send private messages and broadcasts in the CAD
Message another unit or a dispatcher privately, send a broadcast to every screen on duty or one department as dispatch, and know who can read what.
Ride along with another unit
Add a rider to your unit, what the rider sees and can do, and how the ride ends for both of you.
Supervise units on duty and sign them off
The tools supervisors get on duty: signing another unit off with a reason, checking on units whose status timer has run out, and reading every private message.
Post CAD announcements to the duty screens
Put a notice on the duty screens for everyone or chosen departments, make people acknowledge it, schedule it, and see who has read it.
See supervisor stats for the CAD
Check open calls, units by status and today's response times on duty, and look back over up to 90 days of calls, response times and paperwork in the control panel.
Use the CAD in game on the tablet
Open the CAD inside FiveM with /tablet or your community's tablet key, already signed in, and fix the messages that stop it opening.
CAD keyboard shortcuts and alert sounds
Every keyboard shortcut on the duty screens, the tones that play for calls, panics and messages, and how to mute or turn them down for yourself.
