Alert TS

[EMS2712]

We recently updated CAD system, and will be putting the MDT's in our trucks. Has anybody switched to or currently using the Alert software?

Alert software? Can you be more specific?

FDNY has GPS on almost all the vehicles so dispatch knows where they are. Soon, we are supposed to upgrade that for the system that guides you from where you are at, to where you are needed.

The Alert software is a CAD/information management software package for all public safety personnel. We are switching all fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies in the county to it. The dispatchers will be using it for information management as well as GPS and CAD. EMS will be using it for their PCR forms through the wireless interface in the truck through the MDT's in the vehicles. We will also be using it eventually for Daily Logistic Reports, as well as Run Statistics, and Time Sheets. We can actually do silent dispatching with it in that we actually don't have to talk on the radio at all. We also can interact with the other agencies and/or units responding with us. I know this is just one of the software programs out their for this.
