RE: 911:: Re:Civil Standby

As I said, we code these as disorders, it's a priority 3 call, if it starts

to escalate we can recode it domestic violence, that bumps it up to a

priority 2. One of the hardest things we try to get trainees to understand

is using the clues you have to code the call for response level:

ASSIP=assault in progress, priority 1, 2 officers

ASSLT=assault, usually over, priority 2, 2 officers and EMS

DOMVIO=domestic violence, potential for injury, priority 2, 2 officers

DISWEA=disorder w/ weapons, may still be domestic, priority 2, 2 officers

DISORD=disorder, can still be domestic but more for verbal only, not

hitting, priority 3, 2 officers

ASSDEL=delayed assault, all over and suspect gone, priority 4, 1 officer

But making them understand that even if it's still in progress but you know

you need EMS, so code it ASSLT is not always easy. Good way to judge if

they are making those " little leaps " that are sooooo important, though!

We are lucky. We don't deal with these too much. Instead we have to deal

with standbys when departments fire employees that they think they might

have a problem with. No big deal for us. It's usually done through our CID

division. They go over plainclothes, sit around until the person is

terminated and leaves the area. Of course, they are cautioned to call 911

if the person comes back unannounced.
