The continued success of Santa Cruz Regional 911 is dependant upon the successful replacement of the Computer Aided Dispatch software. XX AGREE PARTIALLY DISAGREE - explain disputed portion below ___ DISAGREE - explain below Response explanation (required for responses other than "Agree"): The current CAD system in use by SCR9-1-1 is Motorola Printrak CAD. This CAD system has served (and is continuing to serve) the community of Santa Cruz since 1996. It is a robust system that currently meets all of our User's needs. Motorola has informed SCR9-1-1 that they will no longer support this version of CAD past August 31, 2018, therefore it is imperative that a replacement product be purchased, installed, and functional prior to that date. SCR9-1-1 staff has begun the process of investigating CAD systems in order to have enough information to develop a comprehensive Request for Proposal in order to acquire a replacement system.
