FiveM CAD Crash Reports: Vehicle Accident Documentation & Investigation
Learn how to document vehicle accidents and crash reports in your FiveM CAD system. Complete guide to crash report fields, investigation workflows, related report types, and report management in CDE CAD.
Crash Reports in CDE CAD
CDE CAD includes a dedicated Crash Report template in the reports system, purpose-built for documenting vehicle accidents with the level of detail that serious roleplay servers demand. Unlike generic incident reports that force officers to write everything in a free-text narrative, the crash report provides structured fields for all parties involved, vehicles, damage assessments, road conditions, and contributing factors. Every field is designed to capture the specific data points that real-world accident reports require - crash type classification, severity ratings, intersection data, traffic control devices, and hit-and-run indicators. When an officer opens a new crash report in CDE CAD, they get a professional template that guides them through the entire documentation process step by step, ensuring nothing gets missed even during chaotic multi-vehicle scenes.
What Goes in a Crash Report
When officers run plate or person lookups during crash documentation, CDE CAD automatically fills in vehicle details (make, model, year, color, registration status) and driver information (name, DOB, license status, address) directly into the crash report. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces transcription errors, and speeds up the reporting process so officers can clear the scene faster.
Crash Type Classifications
CDE CAD categorizes every crash by type, which is critical for statistics, pattern analysis, and accurate documentation. Officers select the crash type from a standardized dropdown that matches real-world accident classification systems. Understanding these categories helps officers file accurate reports quickly:
Related Report Types
Vehicle accidents rarely exist in isolation. A single crash can generate multiple related reports depending on the circumstances - tow requests, property damage claims, DUI investigations, and follow-up supplements. CDE CAD links all of these reports to the same incident so your department has a complete picture of the event. Here are the report types most commonly filed alongside crash reports:
Crash Report Workflow
Documenting a crash follows a structured workflow from the moment the call comes in to the final report submission. Following these steps ensures nothing gets missed and produces reports that are thorough, accurate, and ready for supervisor review. Here is the step-by-step process officers follow in CDE CAD:
Report Management & Export
Filing the crash report is only part of the process. CDE CAD provides a full suite of management tools that handle the report lifecycle from draft to final approval. These features ensure quality control, easy retrieval, and professional output for every crash report your department files:
