Today, we are launching a test version of our very own CAD. The idea behind it is to have players try it out so we can hear their opinions and gather feedback as to why they like it- or why they don't like it, how it could be improved, or what would be a better system.
What is a CAD?CAD stands for Computer Aided Dispatch. Its used by law enforcement agencies all over the world to keep track of calls, assignments, officers, personal information and a lot of other things.
What does it actually do?It does everything. It shows available units, active calls, BOLOs, panic buttons, Signal 33s.
You use it to mark yourself 10-8, 10-7, 10-76, 10-97.... You can use it to look up names in the database, put out warrants, submit citations, warnings, arrest reports, run weapon serial numbers, plate numbers and many, many other things.
Can i use it as a civilian?Yes! The CAD will not work to its full potential, without civilians. Members of the public will have access to the 'Civilian Department' where they can create their characters, edit vehicles, license status, check their criminal records and a lot of other very interesting things.
Do i need to use it?You don't /need/ to use it, however, I would definitely recommend trying it out. It will take some time to get used to it (especially for those who haven't used one before) but if enough civilians submit their RP Character details into our CAD, it will create a whole new RP experience for everyone.
Before you join:-Please register with your in-game name. Every person needs to be accepted and assigned into the correct department. Knowing who you are will make this process easier and quicker.
-Our current member slots are limited to 100. (They can be increased in the future, if need be) for this reason only V:MP players will be accepted. For the same reason, inactive players may be denied.
-Please use common sense. We will allow people to test the system for the first few days and try out different things like creating calls, submitting BOLOs and such, but please do not spam the panic buttons or Code 33s.
How do i gain access?In order to join our CAD you will need to use the following link:
https://therocketcad.com/invite?code=ieIPh(Dont worry, its safe. You will not need to download anything and there are no ads or popups)
You then will be asked to create an account.
Once your application is accepted by an administrator (Note: V:MP administrators aren't the CAD administrators) and you are assigned the correct department, you will need to click on the 'Patrol' button in the top left corner of your screen.
From there, you select your department, server, callsign, subdivision and area of patrol (Civilians only need to select the sections marked as 'Required*'). After that, click the button on the very bottom 'Start Patrol' and you are good to go.
*Note: Only the Dispatch department can clear BOLOs and remove active calls. Senior Officers+ will have access to the Dispatcher Department.
*Let us know if you have been assigned the wrong department or sub-division.
*LSPD members will be also assigned to the Civilian department.
