We discussed this briefly at our July 2024 meeting: Aberdeen's Communications Section was eliminated and our PCOs now work for the centralized Harford County Dept of Emergency Services (DES).
I understand that Ch 81 Communications standards apply to DES and that I must collect from DES Ch 81 policies and proofs of compliance.
Question: WHAT OTHER SPECIFIC STANDARDS APPLY TO DES OPERATIONS AND THE DISPATCHERS?
(Are there any standards in Ch 31 Recruitment and Selection? Ch 33 Training & Career Development, or any other Chapters?) Please help!

FPD utilizes Tracker Products/SAFE. It is a stand alone system. We have been customers with Tracker Products since 2011. I LOVE this system. We have the ability to generate disposition report, audit reports, can customize tags for cases and items. It has an automated "tasking" system. Offense types are assigned a "review date" (determined by the agency) eg. Shoplifting = 365 days. When that review date hits, the officer receives an automated message asking him/her to review the case and let the property staff know if items need to be held or if they can be destroyed. We LOVE tasking. I can't say enough good things about Tracker Products/SAFE. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
