In-Game Commands

All commands are provided by the pulsecad resource. A player must be linked (/cadlink) for the identity-based commands to work, and most civilian commands need at least one CAD character.

Commands can be renamed

Command words are configurable per community in Admin → FiveM (traffic stop, panic, clear panic, registration, civ ID, CAD display, 911, and anonymous 911). This page shows the defaults. If your server renamed a command, use the word your admin set. Renaming a command requires a re-download of the resource and a server restart.

Core commands

Command What it does
/cadlink <code> Links your game account to your CAD account (one-time). Get the code from the Portal (Link Your Game) or MDT → Options → Link FiveM Game.
/cadunlink Releases the CAD account bind on this character so you (or another player) can link a different account. The command word is renamable per community.
/dispdir Opens a private voice line to dispatch: a direct dispatcher channel separate from a 911 call.
/plate <plate> Manual plate lookup against your community's records; returns make/model/owner and flags (stolen, BOLO, RO warrant, expired reg/insurance) in chat. Works without Wraith.
/reg Registers the vehicle you're currently in to your active CAD character.
/ts <plate> <details> Traffic stop. Creates the same CAD call as the MDT "Traffic Stop" button, attaches you on scene, and (if a plate is given) auto-runs it and posts the full return as a call note. You must be on duty and not already on a call.
/panic Officer distress. Alerts every dispatcher (tone + PANIC on the board) and pushes an alert + tone to all other on-duty units in-game. Must be on duty.
/cpanic (or /clearpanic) Clears your panic. Dispatchers can also clear it from the unit board.
/callwp Sets your in-game GPS waypoint to your currently assigned call.
/cad (or F7) Opens the CAD Display, the full CAD as an in-game tablet/MDT. If you're linked, it opens already logged in; if not, it explains /cadlink (there is no email/password form on the tablet). Close it with the power button on the right edge of the tablet; see below.

911 (civilian)

Command What it does
/911 <description> Call 911 and speak live with a dispatcher (voice) when one is in service. If none is online, it becomes a pending call.
/t911 <description> Text-only 911 report to dispatch (no voice). /911t is a backward-compatible alias. When no dispatcher is in service, it shows an offline service picker so your report routes to the department you choose.
/a911 <description> Anonymous report: your name and location are not shared with dispatch.
/report [type] <description> Civilian 511 traffic report: file a roadway issue (hazard, closure, debris, etc.) that appears as an Unverified road event until DOT confirms it. Photos taken in-game attach to the report.
/911end Hang up your own open 911 call.
/phone Answer an incoming call from dispatch or an officer.
/voice / /vend Reopen / end the live voice window for an active 911 call.

Voice vs. text

/911 opens a live voice line when a dispatcher is in service (you'll get an "OK box" to open the voice window). /t911 is always text-only. A text 911 and a voice 911 are handled as separate incidents.

Civilian ID

Command What it does
/id Shows your active character's ID card to yourself.
/giveid Shows your active character's ID card to nearby players.
/setciv [n] Lists your characters; /setciv <n> sets your active one (syncs with the civilian portal). Blocked while on duty.
/civid Civilian ID menu; see sub-commands below.

/civid sub-commands

Command What it does
/civid show Show your active character's ID card (to you + nearby players)
/civid list List your CAD characters with numbers; marks the active one
/civid set <n> Set your active character (blocked while on duty)
/civid refresh Re-fetch your characters from the CAD (for mid-session swaps)
/civid help Show the command list in chat

Optional commands

These appear only when your admin has enabled the matching feature in Admin → FiveM:

Command / key Feature What it does
/cambeep Body cam Toggles the body-cam "recording" beep on/off (your preference is saved)

The recording beep only plays while you are on duty as a law-enforcement unit; body cams are LEO-only, so Fire/EMS and Tow/DOT units never hear it. /cambeep covers both beeps: the CAD's own chirp and the one from the bundled Axon Body 3 overlay, which players standing within about 10 metres of you can hear too. Switch it off and your body cam goes quiet for you and for anyone near you - the Axon overlay stays on screen, it just stops chirping.

Automatic (no command)

  • Live unit tracking: your position streams to the dispatch/MDT map while on duty. See Live Unit Tracking.
  • Active-call blips + GPS routing: on-duty officers see live call blips (colored by priority); when a dispatcher assigns you a call, your in-game GPS auto-routes to it with an on-screen notification.
  • ALPR alerts: when Wraith scans a plate, you get an on-screen alert + tone if it's stolen / BOLO / RO warrant / expired in your community. See ALPR.
  • Discord Rich Presence: while on duty, your Discord status shows your callsign, status, and active call number.

Active character

/reg, /id, /giveid, and /civid show all use your active character: the one you're operating as in the civilian portal, or the one you pick with /setciv. Switching in either place updates both.

Keybinds

Key Action
F7 Open the CAD Display (tablet / MDT)

Rebind it under FiveM's Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.

Closing the in-game tablet

While the tablet is up it holds your mouse and keyboard, so F7, /cad and the chat box can't reach the game. Click the green power button on the right edge of the tablet to put it away, and a reminder appears under the tablet for a few seconds each time you open it. Esc also works, but only until you click into the CAD itself (after that Esc belongs to the CAD, where it closes the top-most window). Signing out of the CAD closes the tablet for you and returns you to the game.

Panic is a command (/panic), not a bound key; bind it yourself in FiveM's key bindings if you want a hotkey, or via +-style keybinds in your server.cfg/client config.
