We have added a new feature to the Dispatch Portal that allows Dispatchers the ability to set alarms for each Dispatch to ensure Officer safety in the field. Read on for more about the new Dispatch feature, how it works, and information to understand how to utilize it.

Overview

Dispatch Portal: Dispatch Call Timers were created to visually inform dispatchers of any dispatches that have not been updated after a set time to ensure Officer safety. It allows the dispatcher the ability to set a specific amount of minutes after a dispatch is created as well as be visually informed if that time is coming to an end as well as if it has expired. The time is reset anytime the dispatcher or the officer makes changes to the dispatch record.

 Key Features

Warning Colors

With easy to identify Colored boxes, your dispatchers will always know which dispatches they need to prioritize. We anticipate dispatchers who use this feature will be able to identify which officers need assistance whether the officer is in need of backup or having trouble completing the dispatch.

Dispatches will change to yellow when 1 minute remains on the timer and red when the timer has expired.
