# Areas of Patrol

> Create areas of patrol (AOP) for utilization within the CAD/MDT system and switch a server's current AOP from the dashboard or the CAD/MDT.

Areas of patrol (AOPs) are the parts of the map where your units patrol. Some examples could be `Los Santos`, `Blaine County`, or `Statewide`.

## Create a new AOP

Open **Configuration > Areas of Patrol** and select **New AOP**. The first AOP created is considered the `default` and cannot be deleted, only updated.

PhoenixCAD Free includes up to **3 AOPs**, while the Premium tier is unlimited.

## Change the current AOP

There are two places AOPs can be changed for your patrol servers. Staff can change server AOPs from the user dashboard (home page), or from inside the CAD/MDT if you are Staff or a Dispatcher.

If you installed the FiveM integrations, this AOP is translated in game and can be viewed by typing `/aop` in chat, and displays a notification every time the AOP is changed for that specific patrol server.
