Abstract: A computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system that enables dispatch of emergency services resources based on user-defined resource restrictions. The CAD system includes a server system that enables users to create resource restrictions (e.g., a geographic restriction, a time restriction, and/or a qualification restriction) on the fly such that each created resource restriction is available in real time to the users, and then apply the created resource restrictions to the appropriate resources stored in a database. The server system also enables users to create transfer orders each of which defines required criteria for a transfer event, and then assign resources to the transfer event that are not associated with any resource restriction that conflicts with the required criteria defined in the transfer order.

Abstract: A computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system that enables dynamic rostering of emergency services resources is disclosed. The CAD system includes a server system accessible by a plurality of access devices. The server system presents a plurality of web pages that enable a plurality of users using the access devices to: create a transfer order for a transfer event; create a virtual unit to fulfill the transfer order, wherein the virtual unit identifies one or more resource types required for the transfer event; and then roster the virtual unit by assigning one or more specific resources associated with the required resource types, whereby the assigned specific resources are dispatched to the transfer event.
