This will eliminate the need for dispatch calls and empower officers to act quickly and effectively. Since officers can now run checks from their vehicles, we can cut down on the number of dispatchers needed on any given shift. By deploying our dispatchers more effectively we can reduce their administrative duties and better use their skills as trained emergency telecommunicators. This is especially useful for forces patrolling large regions. For the Hermitage-based dispatchers, using CDPD will mean that they have fewer radio frequencies to monitor, streamlining their emergency responses.
Officers know what they are potentially dealing with when they approach a car.
In addition, officers are able to uncover many previously hidden crimes, such as driving with a suspended license. Our success with the Hermitage, Pennsylvania department points to the great potential of our joint efforts.
