Get The App!

The Toronto CAD mobile application is now available for Android and iOS

---

The Toronto CAD application simplifies viewing the Toronto Police and Fire CAD interfaces for mobile users. Rather than struggling with an interface that seems better suited to a desktop browser, the Toronto CAD application is designed to work on small screens, and to leverage a variety of features that are handy for News Media and First Responders

The application combines information from

• The Toronto Police Call For Service (C4S) Page
• The Toronto Fire Service Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Page
• Geolocation technology to locate (most, but not all) calls
• Call Mapping
• More than 25 GTA Twitter accounts, including the Toronto Police Operations (TPOC) Twitter feed

Some of the current features:

• Mobile-friendly user interface,
• Almost real-time updating of TPS and TFS calls,
• Push notifications for high-priority calls will let you know about important, newsworthy, calls even if the app is off,
• Matches Police, Fire, and TPOC Tweets for calls,
• Places calls on city-wide map (where geoinfo available),
• Filtering of calls shown in the call list, so only calls that interest you are shown,
• TFS calls link to your default Map programme (usually Google Maps) so you don't have to enter the address manually.
• TPS calls will search Toronto Police Operations Centre Twitter feed to see if they have sent out anything.
• Push notifications for Environment Canada Weather Alerts and Warnings
• What's Near Me? page shows only calls within 2 km of your current location
• Automatic near-by notifications will send you a notification of priority calls that are within 2 km of your location
• Curated Twitter alerts for more than two-dozen GTA organisations, so that you will be notified of the most important events as they are tweeted about
