Computer-aided dispatching

Computer-aided dispatching (CAD) is a technology system used by emergency services like police, fire, and ambulance to manage and coordinate their responses efficiently. It helps operators quickly log incidents, access real-time information, and assign the nearest or most appropriate responders automatically. The system also tracks vehicle locations, schedules resources, and communicates updates, ensuring timely and organized responses. By integrating data and automating certain tasks, CAD improves overall efficiency, reduces response times, and enhances decision-making during emergencies.
