DPS NHP Dispo "G" is Traffic Stop With Citation. "Y" is Paperwork completed (Tie to CAD Incident If Appropriate). CAD is Computer Assisted Dispatching something NHP did without for many years until about 2001. Before that advancement a dispatcher would handle radio calls often from multiple agencies using multiple talkgroups, answering the telephone, running inquiries thru NCIC, NCJIS (Nevada Criminal Justice Information System), NLETS (National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System), and SCOPE (Shared Computer Operation for Protection & Enforcement), the local system. Logs of radio traffic were handwritten and another sheet was used to keep track of what units were in service, out of service, or on a variety of calls. It was very difficult for a dispatcher to keep up and this combined with the low pay caused many of them to take jobs with the LVMPD or Henderson PD which paid much better and had far superior working conditions.
