Online view of SLC fire dispatch CAD

[slcsky]

I didn't know that SLC fire gives the public a view of their CAD system. It gives history of adress responses within the last day or so and gives the addresses. It obviously leaves out the confidential stuff, but still interesting to look at.

You can get it from the main SLC fire website or just click below:

Welcome to the Utah Forum of RR.com
slcsky!​

Wow, that really is a cool Web site. I didn't know that it existed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I encourage you to return to your User CP and fill in your location so we will know where you are from. Right now we have to guess, but I think it must be Salt Lake from your user name and the fact you are pointing out things in SLC. We would also appreciate a little bit of an introduction.

Hope you stick around and enjoy our company.

I think we broke it

We must have. I tried it again this morning and it was all messed up, but last night it was great. It lists all of their calls for a 24 hour period. Very cool.

I also did not know that was there

What is even more interesting is the fact that there is a police directory.

Can't see whats in it, but it is on the server. I tried swapping police for fire and no luck...

I can see the fire one now, but the police one sends me a page that says, "You are not authorized to view this page."

Humph!

This will be very useful in getting addresses when I don't quite hear them. Also UHP has a Online CAD as well: http://commuterlink.utah.gov/cad/incidents.asp

Very interesting. nOw how long will it be there after "They" find out that "we" know about it? Also, I am now curious about the missing incident numbers.

I'm not sure what you are calling "missing." If you are talking about the SLC FD, all the incident numbers I see on that Web site are in order and there are none missing. It looks to me like they only display 24 hours worth and anything older than that drops off.

I don't see any incident numbers at all on the UHP site.

I wonder if that is the dispatch screen they can see on the engines from their computers, only they would be able to pull all the details of the calls. I think that would be a question for our SLC Firefighters to answer.
SLCPD has this one as well: http://apps1.slcgov.com/police/trafficaccidents/accidentquery.asp

The screens that SLCPD and SLC Fire have don't look anything like that. Much like the UHP CAD it's just graphic representation of unit status, what the units actually have in their cars is far more detailed and complex.

Dispatch Systems

I know several agencies use:
"FatPot" http://www.fatpot.com/content/index.asp?page=89
"Spillman" http://www.spillman.com/Solutions/03_Mobile/Mobile.php

FatPot is restricted by login so users only see calls for their area. Some people have logins that will show them calls in multiple areas. These would be your Metro type of guys that work different areas of the county.

Not sure what SLC uses...

Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County and Taylorsville use Versaterm

SLPD must have a creatice writer managing their Web site. Look at this announcement of a bust:

"Most people look forward to the weekend as a time to relax and even grab a couple extra hours of sleep. Last weekend, six dangerous people suspected of involvement in a series of robberies were not afforded this luxury."

Sheesh!
