8 NOTE for plain language: This is the language that has been approved by the Hunterdon County Police, Fire, & Squad Chiefs Associations to be used when communicating from Dispatch to the user agency and vice versa. We WILL preferably be known as Hunterdon or Hunterdon County however County is acceptable. The highlighted codes herein are being kept as a 10-code at the request of the HCPCA in order to keep confidentiality on behalf of the PD & the caller. Inappropriate & unacceptable verbiage such as out, on the job, going etc. will not be tolerated by Hunterdon County Communications and the unit will be asked to clarify. Departments will be responsible to see that members and/or employee s will know these terms and use them as such. Continued use of unacceptable verbiage will be noted by the Room supervisor and the Chief officer will be notified with dates and times of recorded incidents. Please note the change in verbiage for signing a unit on and off the air. We will now use On Radio for a unit signing on and Off Radio for a unit signing off the air. Police officers will use on duty & off duty when starting or ending their tour. In & Out of service are now reserved for placing a unit In or Out of service while on a call. Fire & Rescue agencies are reminded that when placing a unit in or out of service when it is not on a call should call Hunterdon on the phone at (908) The goal here is to make a more professional approach to our communications and your assistance will be surely appreciated. 7

13 4. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE ALERTING PROCEDURES: 1. There will be an Alert Tone" preceding home alert tones and sirens. This tone is to alert working units on the radio to stop transmitting. This tone is to signify that there is a call for another station. Example: (Alert Tone) plus "All Stations Clear for a Station 49 Rescue Alert, Main and Church St, Flemington Boro. 2. Siren and Home Alert Tones will follow. 3. Announcement of Call and Type. Example: "Station 49 Rescue, Flemington Boro, Main and Church Streets, MVA with injuries,.

Example: "49-51, received, or 49-51, enroute." 7. (RESCUE ONLY) After the original alert, if no response from the assigned station is received within four minutes, a second alert will be sounded. If still no response after three additional minutes, the next closest station indicated by the Communications center locator computer will be called. This is in accordance with the policy set by the 10th District of the New Jersey State First Aid Council. NOTE: The first unit (ambulance, crash truck, or officer) to sign on with Hunterdon has assumed the responsibility for the call! 12
14 10TH DISTRICT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES Establishing Command Location: It is the intent to provide a structured county-wide approach to implementing a command location (post) for an emergency incident. 1. Officer number, or vehicle call number is to be used until the command location is established. 2. A vehicle or facility (not an individual) becomes the COMMAND LOCATION. The name should be to a geographical reference per ICS i.e. BROAD STREET COMMAND. 3. Individuals, unless their assignment is the COMMAND LOCATION, should refrain from transmitting to Hunterdon. All communications should be through the Incident Commander. 4. A single command location is to be established for an incident, even with multiple departments and/or agencies involved. NOTE: The need for command should be based upon the complexity of the incident. Command need not be implemented in every type of incident. 5. The Incident Commander should ALWAYS use a mobile radio. DUAL ALERT STATUS - MUTUAL AID: At the request of the 10th District of the New Jersey State First Aid Council, this protocol will be followed in the event that a first aid or rescue squad cannot field a crew 24 hours a day. 1. The initial call will be alerted following normal alerting procedures. 2. If an ambulance has not signed on at the end of the normal seven minute alerting period, the nearest available mutual-aid squad will be alerted and the initial squad will be placed on dual alert status. Once the squad has reached this status, their tones will no longer be included in the alert. If a second call is received for that squad, their tones will be included on the initial alert only. 3. If an ambulance has not gone en-route by the end of ten (10) minutes from the end of the initial dispatch, mutual aid will be dispatched and the initial squad will be placed on dual alert status. Mutual Aid can be cancelled upon the ambulance going en-route or upon the authorization of an officer. The officer then assumes responsibility for the call. 4. Dual alert status can be canceled by an officer via telephone when they know they have a crew. This officer must identify themselves by name and number. 5. If any call is assigned to more than one squad as normal procedure, this protocol does not apply. 6. If a mutual aid squad does not respond within the seven minute time frame, it will be placed on dual alert status and the next closest available mutual aid squad will be called. 13
15 7. If a call goes to mutual aid and the first due mutual aid squad is already on dual alert status, that squad and the next due in will be alerted. 8. If a squad officer determines beforehand that there will not be a crew available for emergencies, i.e. the regular crew is on a transport, he/she can put the squad on dual alert status (via telephone) prior to any emergencies being received. NOTES: In the event of bad weather or other extenuating circumstances, the Communications Operator shall have the discretion to waive the 10 minute time frame. This will be based on knowledge that the operator possesses, i.e. someone is responding to the building, hazardous road conditions, etc. "The above protocols are not an attempt to supersede the authority of any squads leadership, but intended to provide a more timely response to those in need of service." 10th District Protocol Drafted June 9, TESTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS: MESSAGES BROADCAST FOR RESCUE AND FIRE AGENCIES VIA HOME ALERT Message content that are authorized to be broadcast shall be limited to the official rendition of services by the respective agencies, which include: 1. Alerting for Calls. 2. Tests of the Home Alert and/or Siren System. These may be interpreted as to include "drills" and/or "special assignments", with the text limited to the above quoted phrases. Funeral announcements are also permissible within the "authorized content" limitations. Messages which are NOT permitted include, but ARE NOT limited to: 1. Fund Raising Events. 2. Parades. 3. Standard Regularly Scheduled Meetings. 4. Any Other Quasi-Social or Commercial Activity. In summary, if it sounds "official to the rendition of SERVICES" when broadcast, it is permissible. If it does not, IT IS NOT. Unit out of service & Squads on dual alert announcements are made daily at 0745 & 1815 hours. 14
16 TESTING RESCUE BASES There will be designated days and times that Rescue Squads will be tested by Hunterdon County Communications. This testing verifies the proper operation of communications equipment. For the majority of agencies, testing will be reduced to once a week. Tests will normally be for siren and/or home alerts only. Any announcements should be provided to Communications by 1800 hours for inclusion with the regular test. These messages must conform with the MESSAGES BROADCAST FOR RESCUE AGENCIES VIA HOME ALERT policy. Announcements for special meetings, special drills or work details will be made once, at the time of the scheduled test. This will be the only time during the day that announcements will be made. Multiple announcements on the same day for the same event are not normally permitted, unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances must be approved by the Senior Communications Operator on duty. If the request for an announcement is on a day that a test for that agency is not scheduled, it will be done at 1815 hours. Announcements will not be made for regularly scheduled drills or meetings. A schedule has been designed to include all agencies currently being tested. This schedule is based upon the principle that tests are done to check alerting equipment. It tests all towers daily. In order to properly test all sites, some Fire or Rescue agencies may be tested more than once a week. Every endeavor will be made to do the test at the assigned time. Tests may be delayed or cancelled at the discretion of the Senior Communications Operator on duty, depending on the workload. This procedure will not affect properly licensed base stations of user agencies. NOTE: When placing a unit out of service, going to or out for a drill, going to a parade, or any other non-emergent assignment, please contact Hunterdon County Communications by phone at (908) ONLY if times are needed to be tracked, otherwise, no call is necessary. 15

25 USAGE The following is to be followed by the Chief or Fire Officer in charge at every incident, large or small. The intent is to keep open channels to Hunterdon during major incidents: FIRE 1: (With Ambo 2) to be used for all initial dispatching of fire departments. Command units will use fire 1 to call HUNTERDON. *All responding units will switch from FIRE 1 to an alternate channel as soon as possible. Command will determine channel to be used in order to keep non essential radio traffic off of FIRE 1. FIRE 2 will be used as a secondary command channel at large incidents if needed in order to contact Hunterdon. *Hunterdon County Communications can only monitor FIRE 1 & 2. *The Incident Command System should be used at all calls, large or small in order to keep Officers and members current in its use. After the original alert if no response from the assigned station is heard within (4) four minutes, a second alert will be sounded. If still no response after (3) three additional minute s, the second due station of the initial stations box alarm for that level will be alerted NOTES: In the event of bad weather or other extenuating circumstances, the Communications Operator shall have the discretion to waive the 10 minute time frame. This will be based on knowledge that the operator possesses, i.e. someone is responding to the building, hazardous road conditions, etc. HUNTERDON COUNTY FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION S.O.P. s: ESTABLISHING COMMAND LOCATION: The purpose of this is to provide a structured county wide approach to implementing a command location or post, the following steps outline this function: 1. Officer number or vehicle number is to be used until the command location is established. 2. A Vehicle, Facility, or Address becomes the Command location. Example: Main St Command or Shop-Rite Command. 3. A single command location is to be established. A representative from each agency should report to the command post where the I.C. will descemnate all necessary information to HUNTERDON. 4.If multiple incidents occur for one agency or in one town, the command structure being used has to be easily identified in order to avoid confusion. STATION ANNOUNCEMENTS: To minimize radio interference with active fire calls and/or county announcements, each station is to contact Hunterdon County Communications prior to making non-emergency announcements from the respective stations. Upon permission being granted, your message may then be transmitted. 24
26 BRIDGE OR ROAD CLOSING: In order to standardize announcements of this type, Hunterdon County Communications will use officer tones to contact a fire officer to contact communications. Whereas telephone is preferred, if the officer responds over the radio, communications will relay the message directly. TANKER TASK FORCE: Hunterdon County has assembled (4) four Tanker Task Force teams, a North, South, East, and West. Each team has a various number of Tankers and 1-2 pumpers, each from a different Station. They are available upon request and also are part of the fire boxes depending on the severity of the incident. Each force has a support & strike team assigned to them in which are a downsized version of the complete Task Force. They can be utilized for smaller fires, but where it would take more than just a few pumpers of water to extinguish the fire. The following is a list of the departments of each force & team, and their area leaders: TTFN: Tanker Task Force North: Station s 12,13,14,18,24,31,32, & 34. Support Team: Station s 18,31, & 46.

Tests may be delayed or cancelled at the discretion of the Senior Communications Operator on duty, depending on the workload. This procedure will not affect properly licensed base stations of user agencies. OFFICER TONES: Officer tones are to be used for official fire department business only. Use for personal messages are prohibited. 27

The dispatcher will then call the bank on the phone (unless you tell them not to) advising the bank that an alarm has been received, and inquire as to the status. If Communications is advised of a false alarm, they will inquire who will be meeting with patrol and how they are dressed. Communications will then advise responding or on scene units that the bank has indicated a false alarm, and give a description of who they will be meeting with, omitting names. PATROL STATUS CHECKS: As established by the Hunterdon County Police Chiefs Association, patrol status checks will be performed on the shift nightly. The dispatcher will call each on duty car so long as they are on patrol and not in headquarters, on a call, or at some other location. The cars on the South Channel will be checked on once an hour starting at 0000 hours. The cars on the North Channel will be checked on once an hour starting at 0030 hours. The Dispatcher will also check on an officer that has been assigned a call by the Communications Center regardless of the nature, including phone calls at headquarters. This check will be performed every five minutes via radio or phone until the unit clears or the officer has advised Communications that a check is no longer needed. 29
31 The Office of Emergency Management, comprised of the Hunterdon County Emergency Management Council was established in 1986 by the Board of Chosen Freeholders for the purpose of developing an emergency operations plan to address major emergency situations affecting Hunterdon County. The council, comprised of County officials and department heads, completed the plan in 1987 and updates it annually. The plan addresses hazardous waste spills, which require County level coordination when local resources are exceeded. Four phases of emergency management are addressed: mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery in order to minimize loss of life and property. Under the direction of the Emergency Management Coordinator, the council meets quarterly to further refine procedures as required, based upon the constantly changing character of Hunterdon County and emergency resources. As such, the plan is a continually changing Living Document. Staff: George F. Wagner, 83-01, Director of Public Safety William J. Powell, 86-01, County Emergency Management Coordinator Mark Bishop, 86-02, Deputy County Emergency Management Coordinator & Training Center Administrator 30

37 THE HISTORY BEHIND HUNTERDON COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS: Hunterdon County Communications was established in 1976 when a group of citizens, some from various Police, Fire, and Rescue depts. along with the Hunterdon County Board of Chosen Freeholders decided to put all of the Emergency Services together into one facility, along with having a county wide number for county residents to call in the event of an emergency. After some opposition from various town and townships, Hunterdon County hired it s first 11 dispatchers in May 1976, and officially went on the air in June A house was purchased in Cherryville, Franklin Township and was converted for use as a dispatch center. Once completed and on the air, Hunterdon County Communications would become New Jersey s first 24 hour County wide system in the state as well as being the first county system that would cover all dispatching for the Police, Fire, and Rescue Dept s. as well as the County Sheriffs dept, Prosecutors Office, and the County Road Dept. At present, HCCC has 35 dispatcher s, of which 8 are part time. The original dispatch center building only had 3 consoles, but in 1988, the county moved into a new and modern building on an adjacent property to the old center. This new building would have a much larger dispatch room where today we have 6 dispatching consoles and 2 call taker positions set up as well as an administrative wing and training room. In 2006, construction began for a new and much larger dispatch room that will allow us to have as many as 12 consoles in one room. Hunterdon County Communications runs mainly with computer based systems including our phone and street locator systems. In the beginning, all dispatching records were run off of cards and flip charts in order to track calls and look up street segments and fire & rescue alerting procedures. Every radio channel and telephone line at HCCC is computer recorded, but in past years, compact discs, cassettes, and reel to reel tapes almost 15 across and 2 thick recorded all of HCCC s day to day in and out going radio and phone calls. 36
