Derek!

What you want to see? - Moving away from the enforcement of 10 codes over to plain speech Why should we add it? - Department interoperability so that various disciplines can effectively share information. What are the advantages of having this? - 10 Codes are not fully understood by everyone and change for every department so a 10 code for EMS can be different for State, Cert, ETC. Who is it mainly for? - SWAT, Cert, SS, EMS, PD, State, DOC.

I enjoy having dispatch and would really like to be in said role, I'd also like to improve our current systems and help make the RP more fun and effective.

I wouldn't mind running a course or devoting time to teaching or instructing in this matter.

Should I put in an app? As I have a 300 + word application already written or should I hold off on it as I meet the older pre-reqs.

I was going to apply and then noticed the person who put up the application is no longer the person to go to, Id like to see the Dispatcher role revived as it's vitan to the police organization. Way too many LEO's responding to the same call, not enough effective communication on who is responding as everyone talks over one another and a lot of people not receiving the critical or even correct information to react or respond effectively.
