Executive Summary

North Dakota's Department of Emergency Services (NDDES), Division of State Radio ("State Radio"), seeks to acquire and implement Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD). CAD is a method of dispatching emergency services assisted by computer. Using CAD, persons in a dispatch center are able to easily view and understand the status of all units being dispatched. CAD provides displays and tools so that the dispatcher has an opportunity to handle calls-for-service as efficiently as possible.
