Few minutes ago, complete system crash on both Fire and Police. Cards are coming out for dispatches, no plates being run. Panic has set in...

No, they are on two entirely differently radio and CAD systems, failure at OEMC would not affect NWCD.:roll:

It was slowly coming back on line throughout the afternoon...all is well in Daley-ville again!

Anyone know the company who made the CAD software for OEMC?

According to Customer Profile: Chicago Emergency Communications Center it is from Northrup-Grumman. I suspect that it was custom built. Smaller agencies often can use off the shelf CAD solutions but cities like Chicago would definitely have a custom built system.

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out the relation the CAD software has to have with the actual radio network. I always thought a particular vendor provided the radio solution & the CAD solution. But since the city's radio system is mainly conventional vs. an integrated voice/data solution, I guess different vendors can get in where they fit in.

If the city moves to P25, wouldn't the CAD stuff have to change? That's really my main question.
