When police agencies
receive 911 emergency calls, they are processed by
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. The Lake
County Sheriff’s department, as well as other police
agencies, provide information from these CAD systems
electronically to Lake County PASSAGE. The
CAD system filters out non-traffic related items,
and operators in the Transportation Management
Center (TMC) monitor and analyze the CAD information
to determine the impact on the roadway network and
implement a response plan if necessary.
The integrated CAD system currently includes the
Lake County Sheriff’s department and other local
police departments which use the Sheriff’s dispatch
center. Some police departments with their own CAD
systems are also part of the PASSAGE network.
The green area on the PASSAGE map shows the
current CAD coverage, and PASSAGE is working
with more police agencies to expand automated
coverage to the entire county.
