As the department moves forward effective emergency dispatching and efficient allocation of time and assets is critical. To meet this need the HCSO is moving to a spatial Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system.

Moving from a legacy tabular system to a spatial CAD system is not without headaches, heartburn, and hiccups. Come learn how to avoid some of the pitfalls and learn some lessons of what to do and not do of moving from a tabular CAD to a spatial dispatching system.
