This Portal was designed with the dispatch center workload in mind. It is easy to use, quick and reliable. The intent is to put real-time, credible information into the hands of the public to enhance their “situational awareness” so they can better protect themselves and their families.
TO ISSUE AN ALERT:
NOTES:
To find a location, the address can be entered into the search bar or by moving the map. The map view can be toggled from “Map” to “Satellite”
The alert radius can be expanded or contracted by clicking and dragging one of the white dots on the circle, or by entering the desired number of miles in the radius box.
Once an initial location has been selected and the drop pin marker is displayed, the pin can be moved to a specific location by “clicking and dragging” the pin. Once the alert has ben activated, the pin cannot be moved.
Multiple alerts can be activated at any given time.
Depending on Department Policy, alerts that are extremely time critical (ie reported Wrong Way Driver, Active Shooter, etc), it is recommended to send an initial alert from the drop down menu to the reported area. This is the fastest method and can be done in a few seconds. A more detailed (Custom) message can be sent in a follow up alert if desired. (ie I-20 E @ mile marker 157)
