Will you offer this for cities/counties outside California? Our county was using safetown.org but we went to the Bat's CAD so that feed went away. I just checked and it looks like safetown.org is gone.
Hey there.I've been looking for something like this for a while, and since IPN seems to be updated at will, I decided to bust out my rusty software developer skills and create an automated LAFD call console of my own.
https://cad.jfm.so/
Combines many sources of already accessible data, including CHP, matches the multiple data sources together, and adds in some advanced notification features, along with additional user contributions.
Was wondering if anyone had feedback, or would be willing to contribute additional information to Realtime incidents.
Some worthwhile incident examples:

SEEKING DISPATCHERS
LAIT911.com is almost a 100% automated, real-time incident platform. However, scripting and artificial intelligence can only go so far. As part of the latest update to LAIT, we're seeking individuals interested in contributing additional information to what we're already providing.
Dispatcher responsibilities:
LAIT911 dispatchers are able to chose to work shifts of their choice to cover certain incidents, or as-needed/on-call for major events.
- Associate radio transmission recordings with active incidents (DEMO)
- Create new incidents based off of emergency dispatch live audio feeds.
- Provide additional context to existing incidents via emergency radio, social media or independent research.
- Monitor and verify user contributed data.
Expectations of a LAIT911.com dispatcher only include an hour or two of monitoring each week.
Requirements:
In order to be a LAIT911 dispatcher, you must have an in-depth understanding of LAFD procedures, including responding apparatus, divisions and radio transmissions.
Owning a emergency radio or scanner is not required but recommended. You will be able to listen to, and associate recordings via our Dispatcher Dashboard.
A desktop with an internet connection is a must. Our dispatch portal is not compatible with mobile devices.
And most importantly attention to detail and integrity. LAIT911 is known for providing accurate real-time information and providing mis-information, even unintentionally, will quickly destroy the publics trust.
Benefits of being a LAIT911 Dispatcher:
The LAIT911 dispatcher is an unpaid role (for the time being), but active LAIT911 dispatchers are granted a premium account which includes the following:
- LA County Fire Access
- CHP Archive Access
- Slack Instant Incident Notifications (iPhone/Android/PC Push Notifications)
- Mobile Notifications via SMS or Phone Call
- LAFD Radio Archive (Beta/Coming Soon)
In addition, your username will be associated with provided status updates along with having your name, a URL and a text blurb listed on our contributor page.

Really great site you've put together here, Jonathan. I have been using LAIT911 for a few months now and have found it a great tool considering it provides that extra bit of information that PulsePoint doesn't (such as apparatus info and timestamps). A few suggestions for you:
If you would like an extra pair of hands with updating/adding the aforementioned, then please reply and I'll shoot over my email address to you privately. Keep up the great work!
- When clicking on an apparatus to view its details, add an image of said apparatus. For example, here (https://lait911.com/apparatus/T9), get a picture from the most recent video of that apparatus responding, i.e.
- Most apparatus seem to be missing their battalion, perhaps use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Fire_Department#Stations_and_apparatus to update
Applied to be a dispatcher, never heard anything back....![]()
