## What is Toronto CAD?

An application for monitoring the Toronto Fire Service CAD and Toronto Police C4S interfaces. The developer of this application is not affiliated in any way with either service or The City of Toronto.

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 
- 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

### 4/5 — Great when it has data

*2024-11-27, version 1.18.1*

I really liked this app but unfortunately there has been no police data for awhile or fire data recently. Will change my rating if the data returns. Update - police and fire data in the app when I checked on Nov 26, 2024. There is a time issue with the police data. Likely UTC instead of local time.

### 3/5 — Great when it has data

### 5/5 — Great….

*2022-04-15, version 1.18.1*

Great app, I think it needs an up update. I no longer see police or fire lol since iOS 15. Is it a dead app now?

### 4/5 — Trouble with notifications

*2019-11-23, version 1.18.1*

Great app but it isn’t allowing me to turn on push notifications for when I’m not in the app. Every time I turn it on it turns off, it’s version 1.18.1

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2017-09-06, version 1.17.1*

Working in the news industry I find this app an awesome tool. Easy to use. I would highly recommend this app is you are interested in keeping up with what's going on in the city.

### 5/5 — Another tool to get the job done

*2017-09-06, version 1.17.1*

As a TV Producer I'm always looking for ways to keep on top of the news and gather as much helpful info as possible. This app helps me do just that, bringing a lot of info under one umbrella.
