Inѝadditionѝallѝthreeѝcentresѝcontainѝaѝnumberѝofѝtelephoneѝterminalsѝ whichѝ dealѝ withѝ allѝ incomingѝ calls.ѝ Anyѝ callerѝ callingѝ policeѝ willѝ beѝ passedѝtoѝaѝFirstѝContactѝoperator.ѝIfѝtheѝcallѝwillѝrequireѝanyѝactionѝbyѝ theѝemergencyѝservices,ѝaѝComputerѝAidedѝDespatchѝrecordѝ(CAD)ѝwillѝ beѝcreated,ѝandѝtheѝinformationѝprovidedѝbyѝtheѝcallerѝtypedѝontoѝtheѝ CAD.ѝOnceѝtheѝinitialѝinformationѝhasѝbeenѝinputted,ѝtheѝCADѝwillѝbeѝ allocatedѝaѝgradeѝofѝurgency.ѝOnceѝtheѝCADѝreportѝhasѝbeenѝcreated,ѝitѝ isѝpassedѝtoѝtheѝrelevantѝDespatchѝforѝtheѝboroughѝinѝquestionѝtoѝdecideѝ whatѝofficersѝtoѝdeployѝtoѝit.ѝ
Exercise 6 All CAD calls are given one of four grades: I grade (“immediate response”), S grade (“significant priority”), E grade (“extended priority”), R grade (referred). Give the following calls the corresponding grade of urgency.
1)allѝ callsѝ whichѝ doѝ notѝ requireѝ anyѝ response;ѝ mainlyѝ eitherѝ callsѝ whereѝ theѝ operatorѝ hasѝ offeredѝ adviceѝ andѝ thisѝ hasѝ resolvedѝ theѝ problem,ѝorѝduplicateѝcallsѝtoѝincidentsѝofѝwhichѝtheѝpoliceѝareѝalreadyѝawareѝandѝdealing.ѝ
2)callsѝ whichѝ constituteѝ aѝ genuineѝ emergency.ѝ Theѝ targetѝ responseѝ timeѝisѝ12ѝminutes.ѝѝ
