I was thinking about this, after reading the "how are you alerted/how does it come across the scanner" thread. How many dispatch centers give a pre-alarm announcment?
Our dispatch goes kinda like this:
"KC: "Station 55 you have an alarm"
Tones drop for the station
KC "Station 55, medic 67, medic 65 for notification, trooper 2(or 4) is bieng alerted, an MVC with rollover (or entrapment, etc.) Bay Road, between False street and Fake street, 0954"
Im just wondering how many other dipatch centers do that pre-alarm announcement (ex. KC: "Station 55 you have an alarm")
Also, if you have it, do you like it?
Our county dispatch recently switched back to doing it after about a year of not doing it and just dropping tones.
