I have a few things that I would like to ask and get feedback on.
In my opinion, the weekly 1900 roll call on Thursday seems useless.
1) Just because the pagers work on Thursday Night, they can fail anytime of the week
2) If there is no response from the agency, the dispatcher keeps on going down the list. No one confirms
the tones work….
3) The specialty tones (Countywide Tone, Barkhamsted, Medic Tones) don’t get tested. They are just
as Important.
4) The Knox Box tones never get tested (hope they work in an emergency gaining entry)
5) The siren tones don’t get tested
Anyone kind of see my point? It’s a ritual, but it’s useless. What do you think?
Why is the Canton Medic being dispatched it seems for all medic dispatches in Barkhamsted instead of Northwest Medic 3?
How can personnel both monitor Dispatch and Response at the same time? No matter which channel you put on priority, you miss the other one. If Response is on priority, you miss a dispatch coming in and if you put Dispatch on priority, you are missing transmissions on Response.
What about the noon sirens not getting sent out on Sundays? It’s a useless tradition.
