CHANGE IN MULTI-INCIDENT TYPE PAGING
GOOD DAY ALL,
WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO SUBSCRIBERS RECEIVING MULTIPLE PAGED FOR THE SAME INCIDENT. EXAMPLE:
FD IS REPORTING A TWO VEH ACCIDENT WITH ONE VEH ON ITS ROOF WITH INJURIES
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS BEEN PAGED OUT ON OUR SYSTEM AS AN:
O/T AUTO, O/T AUTO W/ENTRAP, MVA W/INJS, MVA W/ENTRAP, AND TRAFFIC ADVISORY
SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS, HAS BEEN OUR PRACTICE. TECHNICALLY, IT SHOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN SENT AS AN U/T AUTO W/ENTRAP & A TRAFFIC ADVISORY, BUT FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, EVERY, AND ANY POSSIBLE INCIDENT TYPE THAT REFLECTS THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN PAGED, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS.
AS OF TODAY, THERE WILL BE NO MORE MULTI-PAGES SENT. ONLY UPDATES, AND IF FOR SOME REASON, THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE INCIDENT TYPE, IT MUST BE AN UPGRADE TO THE CURRENT INCIDENT. EXAMPLE::
TWO CAR MVA W/INJS WAS PAGED. NOW THE IC IS REQUESTING MEDEVAC. YOU CAN THEN UPGRADE/UPDATE THE PAGE WITH THE NEW INCIDENT TYPE
SAME THING GOES WITH ALL INCIDENT TYPES. PLEASE SUCH AS AN UPGRADE FROM A SHOOTING TO A FATAL SHOOTING.
JUST A REMINDER FOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS SINCE THAT SEAMS TO BE THE MAIN COMPLAINT, WE WILL NO LONGER SEND OUT A TRAFFIC ADVISORY WITH ANY MVA PAGES. A TRAFFIC ADVISORY IS STICKILY, A VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES, THAT IS BLOCKING TRAFFIC, OR CAUSING DELAYS. THAT&sp;NOTHING LESS.
OFFICER, FIRE FIGHTER, OR EMS INJURIES. IF THE INJURY IS A STANDALONE INJURY, MEANING IT WAS NOT AS THE RESULT OF A LARGER INCIDENT, THEN YOU CAN PAGE AS AN INJ. IF IT&LL UPDATE THE ACTUAL CALL WITH THE INJURY INFO. NO FF INJ INCIDENT TYPE IS TO BE USED, SAME WITH PD. IF A POLICE OFFICER TRIPPS, AND INJURES HIMSELF, AND EMS IS REQUESTED, THEN A P.O INJ CAN BE SENT. IF AN OFFICER IS IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT, AND IS INJURED, THE INJURY IS TO BE NOTED IN THE PD INV MVA PAGE.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE. FOR DEPARTMENTAL ACCIDENTS, WE WILL NO LONGER PAGE AS AN MVA W/INJS AND AS A PD, FD, EMS INV MVA. A PD, FD, EMS INV MVA WILL BE SUFFICE.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE COMMON SENSES WHILE CHOOSING AN INCIDENT TYPE. USE THE INCIDENT TYPE THAT BEST DESCRIBES THE INCIDENT.
