Report Writing in the MDT

Every interaction in law enforcement, EMS, and fire services generates paperwork. In the real world, report writing is one of the most critical skills an officer or first responder can master. In FiveM roleplay, it is no different. A well-written report turns a routine traffic stop into an immersive experience and creates a permanent record that other officers, detectives, and supervisors can reference. CDE CAD's report system includes over 30 report templates covering every scenario you will encounter on your server. Reports are filed directly from the MDT and automatically linked to civilians, vehicles, and incidents in the database. Whether you are writing a simple citation or a complex arrest report with multiple charges, the MDT provides the tools to document everything professionally and efficiently.

Each template is designed for a specific type of interaction, with fields and sections tailored to capture the information that matters most for that report type.
