Read full descriptionHide full description
Our mobile app is the field client for your community's self-hosted LonexCAD, the computer-aided dispatch system that roleplay communities use to run their police, fire, and EMS departments. Enter your Community ID, sign in with Discord, and the CAD comes with you. ON DUTY, ANYWHERE Set your duty status and stay visible to dispatch without sitting at a desk. THE LIVE 911 BOARD See active calls as they come in, with details and location, and self-assign to the one you're taking. LOOKUPS Run plates and people and get the record back in seconds. BOLOS AND WARRANTS Check active BOLOs and outstanding warrants before you make the stop. BUILT AROUND YOUR COMMUNITY LonexCAD is self-hosted: your records live on your community's own server, not ours. The app connects to it directly, and your session is stored securely on your device. REQUIREMENTS LonexCAD Mobile is a companion app, not a standalone service. You need an account on a community already running LonexCAD (v3.5 or later), and a Discord account to sign in with. IMPORTANT: This app is for fictional roleplay only. Every record in it, civilians, vehicles, licences, warrants and calls, is made-up in-game content created by players for a video game. LonexCAD is not connected to any real emergency service, police force or government system, and it cannot be used to look up any real person, vehicle or record.
