FiveM CAD Use of Force Reports: Documentation & Accountability

Learn how CDE CAD handles Use of Force reporting for FiveM servers. Structured documentation, supervisor review workflows, and accountability features that mirror real-world police reporting standards.

Use of Force Reports in CDE CAD

CDE CAD includes a dedicated Use of Force report template designed specifically for law enforcement roleplay. Officers document any incident where force was used during an arrest or confrontation, creating a permanent record that ensures accountability and transparency within the department. Whether it was verbal commands, physical restraint, taser deployment, or lethal force, every incident gets the same structured documentation treatment. This is not a generic notes field - it is a purpose-built reporting system with structured data fields that capture the complete picture of what happened, why force was used, and what the outcome was. Professional roleplay servers understand that accountability separates serious law enforcement RP from casual gameplay, and proper Use of Force documentation is the foundation of that accountability.

What the Use of Force Report Captures

Every field in the Use of Force report uses structured data - dropdown selections, severity scales, and formatted text areas. This means reports are consistent across all officers, searchable by supervisors, and analyzable for department-wide patterns. No more free-form incident notes that vary wildly from officer to officer.
