Core MDW / Police Computer (MDT)

Core MDW – Professional Police Computer & Mobile Data Terminal

Core MDW transforms law enforcement operations on your FiveM server with a comprehensive, feature-rich Mobile Data Terminal system. Built from the ground up for police departments, sheriff offices, and multi-agency operations, this advanced CAD/MDT/MDW solution provides everything officers need to manage incidents, track criminals, issue warrants, and maintain professional records—all through an intuitive, clean interface that real law enforcement would recognize.

if you are running a small-town police department or coordinating multiple agencies across a metropolitan area, Core MDW scales to meet your needs. With support for multiple departments, customizable permissions, evidence management integration, and real-time profile status tracking, this is the most advanced police computer system available for FiveM roleplay servers.

What’s Included

Core MDW delivers a complete law enforcement records management system with incident creation, warrant tracking, evidence management, personnel organization, and inter-departmental communication tools. Officers get access to a powerful dashboard that displays expiring warrants, recent reports, and critical announcements. The system integrates directly with ESX and optionally connects with esx_licenses, core_evidence, core_multijob, and esx_properties for expanded functionality.

Installation

1. Extract the core_mdw folder to your resources directory
2. Import the SQL file to create necessary database tables
3. Configure config.lua with your department names and permissions
4. Add “ensure core_mdw” to your server.cfg
5. Restart server and assign officers to departments in-game

What Makes It differentiate the setup

Core MDW goes beyond basic police computer scripts by offering true multi-department support with granular permissions, something most alternatives lack. The evidence integration with photo attachments creates realistic court-ready case files. The intelligent search system that looks across all fields—not just names and plates—saves officers valuable time during investigations. The broadcasting feature for urgent reports adds tactical realism for manhunts and active situations. With its active development roadmap and continuous feature additions, Core MDW represents an investment in your server’s long-term law enforcement infrastructure.
