The web app had to accurately represent a system in flux with minimal lag. 
CFSes (call for service) are created, updated as the dispatcher gets 
additional information, adds comments, person, or vehicle information. In 
a busy system they may field 1000 calls a day. In addition the resource 
units  (police, emt, and fire) are changing statuses as they are assigned 
to a call, arrive on scene, and so forth. Since they are equipped with 
GPSs, their location has to be shown on the map.

Mean time, while displaying and updating all this information, the app has 
to remain responsive as the dispatcher enters information, which is 
propagated to other dispatch stations or supervisor displays.

It ain't your granddad's HTML5 page. JavaScript, or TypeScript in the case 
of Angular might not be the greatest language but until something better 
comes along that's how modern web applications are built.
