PI3

I used to see/hear PIO quite often which I assumed was the Public Information Officer. Lately I've been hearing PI3 a lot. Is this Public Information officer 3, or does it indicate something else?

I wish I could help ya.. I listen a lot between 9 pm and 6 am. I can say I have heard only PIO 3 lately.

I guess I should clarify, I haven't really 'heard' anything lately that caught my attention. The FD dispatch web site often has PI3 included in their info.+

They may have dropped the "O" from the PIO to help with the computer voice dispatch. BTW, I had to call 911 the other night for my wife (she is feeling much better now) and I was even impressed that E194 was being dispatched before I got off the phone with the call taker.

I know there is still concern about response time, especially in Glendale, but as a general rule they get the dispatch out quick and get the units on the road pretty quick. I know the last time I called for someone it seemed like they kept me on the phone forever asking me questions but they assured me the truck had been dispatched during the call and they were just getting additional information. I'm glad your wife's feeling better, I hope everything is OK.

Good to hear that your wife is well. That sexy computer dispatcher actually says P-I-O very well compared to some other things. And not at all giving Phoenix805 a hard time, but as most times, have not seen a PI or PIO anything since his post. Figures

Yes. PI3 is the Public Information Officer, usually dispatched to calls where media presence will be likely.

I still hear PIO, though, so maybe they're using both...? I've never heard just "PI3"

I thought the PFD website had a list of the PIO's and their callsigns with when they were on duty................maybe it wasn't the website.

"PI3" is the designation on the public CAD page. It's still voiced as PIO, I believe.
