1 Police Control Room Productivity Report January December 2012 Prepared by: Mrs. Linda Moxey Assistant Superintendent of Police OIC Police Control Room

2 Foreword The Police Control Room which is a Department within the Royal Bahamas Police Force is the critical link between the community and the patrol units in the field. It is located in the Paul Farquharson Conference Centre, Police Headquarters and is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel are housed in the Police Control Room and they assist the officers in answering the Sentinel 911/Administrative telephones. For this, we are extremely grateful. The life of a call taker and dispatcher is a busy one but immensely gratifying knowing that we have helped thousands of persons. In keeping with the Commissioner s Policing Plan 2012, the staff at Police Control Room understands the common goal of making the Bahamas a safer place to live, work, visit and play. All of the officers/civilians are professionally trained in the use of the Sentinel 911, Powerphone and CAD system. During this fiscal year, the staff (police/civilian) has worked extremely hard to police the island of New Providence, by rendering quality service to the community and Police Officers. On behalf of the fine staff at Police Control Room, it gives me great pleasure to present Police Control Room Productivity Report for the period January to December, Objective Our Objective is to answer 911/Administrative calls within seconds and as quickly as possible dispatch police/emergency units to scenes, while ensuring the safety of the general public and our officers. Also, with remarkable patience and compassion listened to and talk to our callers. Tackling Crime and Allaying the Fear of Crime (Priority one) 911/Administrative Call Counts During the month of August, 2012, the new Sentinel 911 phone system was installed into the Police Control Room. The system is able to generate the total call count for all 911 and Administrative calls coming into the Police Control Room. The staff along with the assistance of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel answered on a monthly basis an average of eighty thousand (80,000) calls ranging from in progress crime such as armed robbery, burglary, shooting to non-emergency calls such as loud music and disturbances. See Monthly Reports for the period 1/09/12 31/12/12 attached indicating the call count, type of 911 call count, 911 TTY count and 911 abandoned call count. 2

39 Conclusion The year 2012, was a very challenging year for the staff at Police Control Room as we were inundated with incoming 911 and administrative calls, which we were not able to answer due to the volume and limited manpower. We were also unable to dispatch police units to scene in a timely manner due to the limited vehicles. For the year 2013, it is our hope to have the necessary resources in place so that we can be better equipped to rendered immediate assistance to our citizens. The Staff at Police Control Room is committed to service and safety. In addition, we understand that quick response is critical to community safety, the apprehension of suspects, and the police presence to a scene. It is our intention to continue to be professional and act swiftly to all incoming telephone calls and the dispatching of police vehicles to scenes. In so doing, we will be able to reduce crime in our society and bring confidence and hope to our citizens. Therefore, we encourage all citizens and visitors alike to report all criminal activities, fire, traffic accidents, medical emergency and any other emergencies to Police Control Room by dialing the 911, /4/5. I take this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation and thanks to the dedicated and hardworking staff at Police Control Room for their support given to me during the calendar year 2012, and our country for making the Bahamas a safe place to live, visit, work, and play. For there is always room for improvement, we will continue to strive for excellence. 39
