Beginning May, 21, 2008 the ODNR Comm. Center will begin to enter ALS information into Ohio LEADS system. Officers will need to provide the communication center staff with all information required by LEADS for entry. Chris Webb will be getting the documentation together on what LEADS requires for entry and we will forward it out for distribution to field officers. Any questions please let me know.

Thanks,

ODNR Codes and Signals List

*Posted: 04-20-2007

Starting May 1^st New procedure for ODNR Dispatchers regarding HOT HITS, TOWED VEHICLES, AND SIGNING ON/OFF DUTY.

HOT HITS:

When a HOT HIT is received by the ODNR dispatchers, they will ask the officer, ARE YOU CLEAR FOR TRAFFIC? This should allow officers time to separate themselves from the suspect. It will also allow the dispatchers time to read the warrant carefully to properly proceed with the incident.

TOWED VEHICLES:

The ODNR Dispatchers will also handle towed vehicle reports. If an officer tows a vehicle they can make a report about it and the dispatcher will make a call card. This will help for future reference and to assist the owner in locating the vehicle.

SIGNING ON/OFF DUTY:

Make sure that if you sign in on your shift, you must sign out. Dispatchers will be doing follow ups to check your status. If you do not want a call at 2 AM, please provide the dispatcher with the proper sign on and sign off procedures.

April 18th is the next meeting date between the E-board and the MARCS Administrators.

The Lodge 149 Executive Board met with the MARCS Administrators on March 13th, 2007. The meeting was productive and both the FOP and the MARCS Administrators committed to trying to resolve problems with the Statewide Radio System. Another meeting is being scheduled for early April.
