Computer Aided Dispatch

What's New

Standard Functional Specifications for Law Enforcement Released
CAD coverThe Law Enforcement Information Technology Standards Council (LEITSC) program, which fosters growth, strategic planning and implementation of integrated justice systems, has completed validation of the standard functional requirements for computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems. These specifications are designed to assist law enforcement agencies in the design and procurement of agency CAD. These tools provide significant guidance to agencies developing a RFP for purchasing or upgrading CAD systems. They are designed to inform law enforcement about the basic functional requirements that all CAD systems should have in order to achieve interoperability. The CAD Standard Functional Specifications is available for download.

CAD Technical Assistance Available
LEITSC offers Technical Assistance to law enforcement agencies that are in the process of procuring or updating a Computer Aided Dispatch system or Records Management System. The technical assistance is driven by an agency’s use of the Standard Functional Specifications for Law Enforcement CAD. LEITSC is able to provide technical assistance and expertise that a law enforcement agency can use when developing a request for proposal (RFP) and can support delivery during an agency’s selection/procurement process of a CAD. In addition, technical assistance is offered to agencies that are interested in implementing the Information Exchange Package Documents (IEPDs) for CAD that LEITSC helped developed.

Computer Aided Dispatch Surveys

These Technology Clearinghouse surveys have been completed by law enforcement agencies around the country. Each survey will provide you with background information on that particular agency's computer aided dispatch (CAD) related project, including funding resources, hardware and software vendors utilized for that project as well as contact information for the individual who worked on the project. Some of the surveys may appear in other categories because they deal with various technologies and are not just limited to CAD.
