FiveM CAD System Customization: Tailor Your CAD to Your Server
Learn how to fully customize your FiveM CAD system. Configure departments, penal codes, branding, webhooks, jurisdiction settings, and auto-suspension points to match your server's unique needs.
Why Customization Matters for Your FiveM CAD
CDE CAD is built to be customized. No two FiveM servers are the same - some run a single police department, others operate a full government with six departments, a court system, and civilian oversight. Some servers mirror California law, others build entirely fictional legal systems. Your CAD needs to adapt to all of it. The admin panel gives you full control over departments, charges, settings, branding, and more. You are not locked into a template or forced to work around someone else's structure. Every setting, every label, every department is yours to configure. This guide walks through every customization option in CDE CAD so you can build a system that fits your community perfectly - not the other way around.
Custom Departments
Most CAD systems ship with a generic police, EMS, and fire setup. CDE CAD lets you go far beyond that. Create unlimited departments with custom names and short names, upload department logos that appear throughout the interface, link departments to Discord roles for automatic access control, and configure department-specific webhooks so each agency gets its own notification feed. Whether your server runs a simple two-department setup or a sprawling multi-agency government, the department system scales to match.
Custom Penal Codes & Charges
Your server's legal system is the foundation of every law enforcement interaction. CDE CAD lets you build your own from scratch or import an existing one in seconds. You are not stuck with a default charge list that does not match your server's lore or legal structure. Build a system that mirrors real-world state law, or create something entirely custom - the choice is yours.
Jurisdiction & Location Settings
CDE CAD lets you define the world your server operates in. These settings affect labels, forms, and documents throughout the entire system, giving everything a consistent and professional feel that matches your server's lore.
Branding & Custom Domain
Your CAD should look and feel like it belongs to your community. CDE CAD offers branding and domain customization that gives your server a professional, polished identity.
Webhook Configuration
Discord is the communication hub for most FiveM communities, and CDE CAD integrates directly with it through department-specific webhooks. Instead of one generic notification channel, each department can have its own webhook feeding into its own Discord channel. State Police reports go to the State Police channel. EMS calls go to the EMS channel. Everything stays organized, and nothing gets lost in a flood of cross-department notifications.
Auto-Suspension Points System
The auto-suspension points system adds a layer of realism to your traffic enforcement. Instead of manually tracking repeat offenders, CDE CAD automatically assigns points for traffic violations and suspends licenses when a configurable threshold is reached. Officers do not need to check a driver's full history to know if their license is valid - the system handles it.
Customization Checklist
Setting up a new CAD can feel overwhelming when there are dozens of settings to configure. Use this checklist to make sure you cover every customization option in CDE CAD. Work through it from top to bottom and your CAD will be fully tailored to your server by the end.
Build a CAD That Fits Your Server Perfectly
CDE CAD gives you full control over every aspect of your system. Custom departments, penal codes, jurisdiction settings, branding, webhooks, and auto-suspension - everything is configurable from the admin panel. Stop working around a rigid system and start building one that matches your community's exact needs.
