What you should know

Computer-aided dispatch (CAD), also called computer-assisted dispatch, is a method of dispatching police vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, and so on, assisted by computer. CAD systems consist of several modules that provide services at multiple levels in a dispatch center and in the field of public safety. These services include call input, call dispatching, call status maintenance, event notes, field unit status and tracking, and call resolution and disposition.

All data integration plugins are installed when you install Genetec Citigraf™ Command. To register your CAD system as a data source for Genetec Citigraf™, you must create a plugin role for the CAD integration plugin corresponding to the CAD system used by your city.

The following plugins are available:
  • Hexagon Intergraph CAD Plugin (general purpose).
  • Northrop Grumman CAD Plugin (general purpose).
