City officials also clarified that police will respond to all burglar alarms, but unverified ones will be placed in a queue and given the same level of response as other non-priority calls."

⏰TIME TO REGISTER 📅April 11 Webinar 911 professionals are categorized as “clerical” by the Federal Government. Read that again. If that comes as a shock, you should attend this webinar. In 2018, the Federal Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) classified 911 dispatchers as “Office and Administrative Support Occupation” based on data they collected from 911 centers across the United States. This session will explore how this happened and what we can do to change it. Additionally, there have been several state-level efforts to reclassify 911 as first responders, some successfully and others not. What does this mean? It’s more complicated than it may seem on the surface. Join us on April 11 when Sara Weston, PMP, ENP of 911der Women, Inc. will discuss: ✔️The history of 911 professionals ✔️How the job has changed and why reclassification matters ✔️The BLS classification process ✔️State-wide reclassification efforts ✔️The 911 SAVES Act ✔️What we can do to support reclassification efforts statewide and federally ✔️What tools exist to help the effort Register soon for this important webinar. #dispatchers #firstresponders #911dispatch #criminaljustice #publicsafety
What is your staffing situation at your comms center? Do you have adequate staff? Are you short? What is this doing to the morale at your facility? These are all important questions about the ongoing crisis in 911 dispatching that is understaffing. We are seeing high rates, the overwhelming demands of the job, negative center cultures. This profession is often an overlooked aspect of public safety. Below is an informative article about the situation. https://lnkd.in/emZJHWzQ
Pittsburgh Police Won’t Send Officers For Some 911 Calls In a bold move to redefine policing and prioritize community well-being, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has launched an innovative approach to managing 911 calls. Under the leadership of Chief Larry Scirotto, the bureau is introducing a Telephone Reporting Unit to handle situations that don't necessitate an in-person police response. This strategic shift aims to ensure officers are available for emergencies that truly require their presence, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the force. Chief Scirotto's vision doesn't stop there. He's committed to reducing the annual call volume from around 200,000 to 50,000, demonstrating a proactive approach to community safety and resource management. Additionally, officers will transition to four 10-hour shifts per week, granting them three consecutive days off. This thoughtful change is designed to improve officer wellness, highlighting the importance of a balanced work-life for our protectors. The initiative also explores the potential of delegating parking complaints to the Pittsburgh Parking Authority, freeing officers to engage more deeply with the community. Imagine officers spending time at the YMCA instead of managing minor infractions - a testament to the bureau's dedication to community engagement over enforcement. While these changes have sparked debate, they reflect a courageous leadership stance on adapting law enforcement to modern needs. Let's support and closely observe the impact of these policies on Pittsburgh's safety, community relations, and officer well-being. Here's to a future where police resources are optimized for the greatest community benefit. 👏👮♂️🚓 #PittsburghPolice #CommunitySafety #InnovativeLeadership #PoliceReform #leadership #lawenforcement Pittsburgh Police Won’t Send Officers For Some 911 Calls: https://lnkd.in/gzX6c_yz
