911 CARS™ - Computer Aided Response System
DBSysgraph has provided turnkey CAD, RMS, and mobile solutions to law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies for over four years. We supply an off-the-shelf or customized solution for any sized agency. Our solutions provide integrated mapping/AVL; Phase II wireless capability; crime analysis; UCR/NIBRS/NFIRS 5.0 reporting; digital imaging; and interfaces to E911; TDD; mobile computers; station alerting; RMS, JMS, PTT, NCIC/state databases; and/or custom interfaces.
911 CARS™ is CAD, RMS & Billing Suite; for Sheriff, Fire and EMS. The system performs the data storage, retrieval, reporting, and NFIRS submission functions required by today’s fire and EMS communities.
The system is designed to provide a streamlined data entry process that facilitates a natural flow and eliminates repetitive data entry.
The 911 CARS CAD system employs an easy-to-use (GUI) graphical user interface designed using Microsoft’s Visual Basic. The client operates on multiple Windows-based operating systems (98/ME, NT, 2000, and XP). The server operates on the Windows NT and 2000 platforms. Microsoft’s SQL Server (7.0 and 2000) is used as the relational database to provide maximum flexibility for reporting and querying. Since SQL Service is ODBC-compliant, the system will also support a multitude of third-party report, query, OLAP, and data mining software. The Windows environment provides a familiar “look and feel” to the system and includes features such as pull-down menus, online help, scroll bars, cut-and-paste capability, and point-and-click operation which also allows keyboard interaction for those who prefer the keyboard over the mouse. The simplicity of screen layouts provides a user-friendly presentation of data in easy-to-read formats.

Multi-Agency, Multi-Jurisdictional Dispatching Software
911 CARS CAD is a fully integrated computer-aided dispatch system designed to assist public safety agencies in responding to calls for service. The 911 CARS CAD package affords all of the necessary functionality to perform communications, complaint receipt, dispatch deployment, and unit/incident status recording activities.
MS Windows and Split-screen Functionality
The 911-CARS CAD system implements split-screen functionality through use of a video card within the CPU, allowing the system to present two or three separate monitors, all acting as one large monitor. One keyboard and one mouse control access to all monitors.
Table-Driven Design
911-CARS CAD has been designed as a table-driven system, meaning that much of the functionality can be defined and changed by your agency through the manipulation of table settings. This implementation provides numerous advantages over other systems that may “hard code” such data. For example, your agency will not need to issue a purchase order to PSSI for future programming effort when modifications are necessary to tables such as unit types, call types, disposition codes, valid stations, valid street types, etc., thus making 911 CARS™ a very cost-effective solution.
The 911-CARS CADsystem is fully integrated, flexible, mobile software, providing field officers with extensive capabilities within the CAD system. CAD entries, such as calls for service or messaging CAD operators and other field officers, reduce unnecessary voice interaction. 911 CARS eliminates extended radio transmissions and reduces the interruption of standard CAD transactions and operation. Officers are able to communicate their status by MDC function, relieving dispatchers of interaction while handling other responsibilities.
Software provides field officers with CAD entries from dispatchers such as location of calls for service, cross street locations, map x-y coordinates, call types, complainant information, pre-plans, and premise history/hazards.
