Glossary of LonexOne terms

LonexOne uses a lot of roleplay and emergency services language. This page explains the terms you'll come across, in plain words, and says where each one shows up. If you're new to running a FiveM community, it's a good page to keep open while you set things up.

Some of these names can be changed by your community, like what judges are called or what the radio hold is called. Where that's the case, we've said so.

Your community#

Community: your server's space on LonexOne, with its own members, departments, website and settings. Each community has its own address, like yourcommunity.lonexone.com.

Control panel: where you and your staff run the community, at lonexone.com/panel. Members don't use it. See Find your way around the control panel.

Community site: your public website, where members sign in, apply to departments and open the CAD.

Module: a part of LonexOne you can install or remove, like the CAD, Training or the Staff Panel. See Add or remove modules for your community.

Role and permission: a role is a set of permissions you give to people. A permission lets someone do one thing, like review reports or work the DMV desk. Set them under Roles & permissions.

Departments and people#

Department: a group your members belong to, like a police force, fire service, EMS or dispatch centre. Departments can also be civilian, legal or other types.

Rank: a member's level in a department, like Officer or Sergeant. Ranks have an order, which promotions follow.

Division: a smaller unit inside a department, like K9, Traffic or SWAT. Members can sign on in the CAD as part of a division, and it shows on the board. A division can have leads, who get extra permissions over its members.

Roster: the list of everyone in a department, with their rank, callsign and status.

Callsign: the short name a unit uses on the radio and in the CAD, like 1A-12 or E7. It's set on the roster and filled in when you go on duty.

LOA: leave of absence. A member on leave has the status Leave of absence and can't go on duty until it changes. Members ask for leave on the community site.

Letter of interest: a request from someone already in a department to be considered for a rank, instead of a full application.

Shift: a period of time on duty. Shifts are counted towards a member's hours on the roster.

The CAD#

CAD: computer-aided dispatch. The screens your units and dispatchers use to run calls, check records and write reports. Members open it from your community site.

Design: how the CAD looks. There are three: Modern, Realistic and Classic. They all show the same calls and records, and each member picks the one they like.

Panel: the part of the CAD you sign on to: Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, Dispatch or Civilian.

Desk: a civilian job in the CAD that doesn't need you to be on duty, like the DMV desk, the tow queue or the court docket.

AOP: area of patrol. The part of the map your server is playing in right now. It's shown at the top of every CAD screen, and you change it in CAD settings.

ALPR: automatic licence plate reader. The plate reader police turn on in their car with /alpr, which reads the plates and speeds of the cars around them and warns about plates with something on them. It needs the Cameras module. See Use the plate reader in police cars.

Unit: someone signed on in the CAD, shown on the board with their callsign and status.

Status and 10-codes: what a unit is doing right now, like in service, en route or on scene. Many communities use radio 10-codes, like 10-8 for in service and 10-97 for on scene. You set your own list under Unit statuses.

Call: an incident on the board, with a type, location and the units attached. One unit is the primary, the unit leading it.

Postal: a short number for a place on the map, used to find locations quickly. Postals come from the postal set your community uses.

BOLO: be on the lookout. A notice to every unit about a person, vehicle or both that officers should watch for.

Panic: an emergency button a unit presses when they need help urgently. It alerts every unit with their location.

Signal 100: a radio hold. Dispatch or a supervisor sets it to keep the radio clear for an emergency. Your community can rename it.

Ride-along: a member who joins another unit's shift, seeing their screen. Depending on your settings, they watch or can use it fully.

Lookup and return: a search for a name, plate, firearm serial, business or registered item, and the result that comes back.

Tablet: the CAD opened inside the game through the LonexOne FiveM resource, already signed in.

Licence points: points citations and arrests add to a driver licence. At your community's limit, the licence is suspended.

Flag: a warning on a person or vehicle, like armed and dangerous, shown on lookups.

Fire and EMS#
