Definition and Purpose

Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) is a system that enables dispatchers and emergency operators to prioritize and record incidents, track responder locations, and coordinate timely communication across various agencies. By integrating with tools like mobile data terminals, geographic information systems, and automatic vehicle location technology, it supports efficient and accurate decision-making in the field. The system ensures that critical data is delivered quickly and securely, allowing law enforcement and emergency services to act with speed and precision. Through its centralized interface, CAD enhances interoperability and operational awareness across jurisdictions.

Access CAD by GateKeeper Proximity Tokens 

GateKeeper makes it faster and more secure for law enforcement personnel to access their CAD systems by eliminating the need for manual logins. Through proximity-based authentication, officers can automatically log in to dispatch terminals as they approach and are securely logged out when they step away. This hands-free login method reduces delays during critical response situations, minimizes password-related friction, and ensures that sensitive data within CAD, remains protected from unauthorized access. GateKeeper streamlines operations while enhancing compliance and security in high-pressure environments.
