The dispatch hits members’ phones the instant the call drops — no one standing at a screen, no manual page. Automatic, exactly-once, with the address and directions one tap away.
Seconds matter on a dispatch, and a manual paging step is one more thing to forget at 3 a.m. WATCHDESK CAD Paging removes the human from the loop: the moment a call comes in over your CAD feed, opted-in members are automatically texted and pushed — once and only once, even when the same call arrives over more than one feed.
Hands-off alerting that turns a raw CAD drop into an actionable page on every phone.
The call drops and the page goes out — no one has to push a button.
Reach members on two channels at once, so the alert lands no matter how they’re set up.
A per-call claim guarantees a single page even when CAD arrives over dual or redundant feeds.
Tap the push to open the full call — type, address, units, cross-street, remarks — with a one-tap Directions button to the scene.
Members choose in. Admins curate the SMS eligibility list; push is each member’s own decision.
Dispatch pushes get an urgent vibration and stay on screen until acknowledged — not a notification you scroll past.
The page opens the whole call — with directions ready to go.
