Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD): Built for real-world response
The cloud-native CAD platform that connects calls, units, data, agencies, reporting, and RMS workflows in real time.
What It Is
Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) is the operational backbone of emergency response, coordinating calls, units, and agencies in real time. 10-8 Systems is a modern, cloud-native public safety platform designed to support dispatch, field response, reporting, records management, and interagency coordination in one connected workflow.
Built on an open, interoperable architecture, the platform serves as both the operational foundation for dispatch and the integration hub connecting RMS platforms, regional partners, analytics tools, and third-party systems.
This ensures agencies can operate efficiently today while remaining adaptable to future operational and technology requirements.

Who It's For
The 10-8 Systems CAD is designed for agencies and organizations that rely on dispatch as a mission-critical function.
Each discipline has unique workflows. 10-8 provides a shared CAD backbone that supports coordination across agencies without forcing one-size-fits-all processes.

a modern foundation
A modern CAD platform for connected response
Modern CAD without the legacy constraints or vendor lock-in.
Move beyond on-premise systems and manual workarounds. Cloud-native CAD improves reliability, simplifies deployment, and reduces operational overhead. Eliminate downtime from upgrades and integrate with existing and future systems without proprietary limits.
///
Supports coordinated response at scale.
Built around real dispatcher and communications workflows, not outdated software logic. Clear interfaces support faster decisions during high-pressure incidents. Scales with incident complexity without adding operational burden. Configurable response plans align with real-world requirements.
///
Built for how dispatch actually works.
Enable shared visibility and coordination across departments and jurisdictions. Support real-time incident data across agencies while maintaining local control. Secure interoperability improves situational awareness and response effectiveness.
///
Access your system from anywhere.
10-8 CAD operates wherever response happens, not just inside a single facility.
Authorized users can securely access the system from communications centers, vehicles, or remote locations during active incidents.
This ensures continuity when operations shift, facilities go offline, or incidents cross jurisdictions.

Response Planning
Configurable response plans aligned with your operational protocols.
10-8 Systems provides a highly configurable response planning engine that allows agencies to define how incidents are handled based on incident type, jurisdiction, unit availability, and mutual aid agreements. Dispatchers receive real-time unit recommendations based on configurable logic, helping ensure faster, more consistent response decisions.
Capabilities Include
Configurable run cards and response assignments.
Support for automatic aid and mutual aid agreements.
Jurisdiction-based unit recommendations.
Real-time unit availability awareness.
Easily adaptable to evolving operational needs.
Interoperability
Built for interoperability across agencies and systems.
Public safety operations require coordination across agencies and CAD systems. 10-8 Systems enables real-time information sharing across jurisdictions.
SecureLink: interoperability across different CAD systems
SecureLink allows agencies to securely share incident and unit information with partners operating without 10-8 Systems, improving coordination during mutual aid and regional incidents.
///
CADbridge: native interoperability between 10-8 Systems agencies
CADbridge enables direct, real-time information sharing between agencies using 10-8 Systems, creating a shared operational environment and improving situational awareness.
///
Open Architecture
Future-proof architecture built on open APIs.
10-8 Systems is built on open, standards-based APIs that support analytics tools, mobile applications, regional systems, and agency interoperability while maintaining connected CAD and RMS workflows inside a single platform.
This open architecture ensures agencies can evolve their technology ecosystem over time without being constrained by proprietary limitations.

Why Infrastructure Matters
Built from the ground up for today's public safety environment.
Many CAD platforms were designed decades ago and later retrofitted for modern use.
10-8 Systems took a different approach by building CAD from the ground up for today’s public safety environment.
