CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch)

Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) is a technology used by emergency services, such as police, fire, and medical responders, to manage calls for help efficiently. It helps dispatchers receive and prioritize emergency calls, track available units, and quickly send the appropriate response teams to the right location. CAD systems often display maps, communicate with personnel in real-time, and store important data for later analysis. By streamlining communication and coordination, CAD enhances response times and improves overall service during critical situations.
