All Dispatch Functions

Are available from the mapping screen. Log new calls for service, assign units, update unit locations and statuses, enter log messages, and much more.

Integrated Command Line

Allows you to rapidly issue mapping, routing, and dispatch commands from the keyboard.

Full Drag-and-Drop Support

Provides yet another method for issuing dispatch commands: drag a unit icon onto an incident icon and choose from options such as “assign” and “route.”

Active Incidents Display

Automatically plots all calls for service entered into ledsCAD. Icons identify key information such as event type and priority level.

Click On A Call for Service

Simply click to view details such as address, latitude/longitude, date and time reported, nearest intersection, and more.

Unit Display/AVL

Responders’ locations are plotted on the map right alongside calls for service, providing dispatchers with the big picture of what’s going on and keeping them apprised of responders’ whereabouts.

Routing

Route responders to calls for service so they can arrive on scene as quickly as possible. The system effectively routes units around barriers and road closures.

Status Alerts

Unit status alerts display on the map to remind dispatchers when it’s time to check in on responders, and incident activity alarms ensure that all incidents receive prompt attention.

Geospatial Search

Search for all addresses within a specified radius of a location, or draw a polygon to view all addresses within the enclosed region.

Click On Any Map Location

To view information about it: ESN, county, postal zone, coordinates, nearest intersection, nearest address, and more.

Choose Which Map Layers to Display

Such as streets, beats, townships, pictometry, and ESN, allowing functionality such as geospatial identification of correct ESN for Phase II calls.

Local GIS

Personnel can maintain ledsMapping data using native ESRI files and software.

Integrated Mapping

ledsMapping Features

ledsMapping is a feature-rich CAD mapping system built on ESRI-compatible mapping components. It coordinates with ledsCAD to enable incident plotting, AVL, routing, and much more--all designed to facilitate the dispatch process and improve response times.

ledsMapping is tightly fused with ledsCAD. All dispatch functions are available from the mapping screen, including an incorporated CAD command line and full drag-and-drop support. This high level of integration between CAD and mapping functionality streamlines workflow and allows dispatchers to move from taking a call to routing a responder without missing a beat.

The ledsMapping screen features an active incidents display, which automatically plots landline, Phase I, and Phase II calls, and also provides geospatial identification of correct ESN for Phase II calls. Incident flags display key information such as address, incident code, priority level, and assigned units. Each incident is automatically cleared from the map as it is completed, speeding the dispatch process by eliminating extra steps.

The unit display uses AVL to plot responders’ locations and route them to incidents so that they can arrive on scene as quickly as possible. Automatic unit status alerts and incident inactivity alarms appear directly on the mapping screen, promoting officer safety and ensuring that all incidents receive prompt attention.

ledsMapping’s geospatial search allows both searching for all addresses within a radius and pinning specific addresses, such as past incidents, civil process service addresses, and so forth. All layers in map data are available via ledsMapping, such as pictometry, ESNs, beats, townships, etc. Local GIS personnel can maintain ledsMapping data using native ESRI files and software.
