...Mobile Data Terminal The mobile data terminal or (MDT) is a very important piece of equipment within the emergency fields and public safety. It is important to the fire service because it gives emergency dispatchers the ability to remain in direct contact with on-scene personnel and anticipate the threat or emergency. They can use it to respond quickly to emergencies, and predict incidents trends and patterns. There are several different types of MDT’s that all perform two way data communication ranging from computerized devices mounted inside emergency vehicles, to handheld units. Before the computer, one the only sufficient way to get information was from the boots on the ground. These men or women would transmit the information using notes or reports, and then later on storing these files in cabinets which still used today. MDT’s are now used within law enforcement agencies, fire, and ems. Earlier when computerization was becoming more of a thing in the 1980’s, some large agencies started to install specialized MDT’s in their vehicles. At that point and time with mobile data these devices were very small and had agency owned radio systems. These systems did the job but were expensive, time consuming or slow to use, and generally unreliable. Now in the 21st century almost everyone and anything are capable of transmitting data wirelessly, from cell phones, personal digital assistants, and laptops. The equipment is still pretty pricy as of today with limited...

... For this assignment I chose the movie “The call.” This movie is recently published in March of 2013. It features Halle Berry who plays as a 911 dispatch operator. Halle Berry’s character’s name is Jordan. Jordan is a veterinarian dispatcher who has become emotionally attached to her job. On an average day she receives a phone call from a distraught teenager. Her name was Leah, she was home alone and a man broke into her house. Frantically on the phone with Jordan she tries to hide from the intruder. When the girl thinks the guy is gone the phone got disconnected. Jordan called the traced line back and gave up the location of the little girl. While the girl is being kidnapped and screaming Jordan is left on the phone to hear the agony. The intruder picked up the phone to see who was on the line, and Jordan announced herself and that she was with 911. She attempted to talk the man out of hurting Leah and letting him know that cops were on the way. Instead of panicking the man replied “it’s already been done!” and terminated the call. Six months later they found Leah’s body buried in the dessert, with no trace of her murderer. Halle Berry (Jordan) was disturbed by this and was unsure if she could go on, so she was placed in training new dispatchers. As she’s walking around allowing the trainees to see the work in progress, they receive a similar call. This time it was a new victim by the name of Casey. She had been abducted from the mall and thrown into the trunk of the car. ...

...occasions, the criminals themselves. Answering the calls and prioritizing them for law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians (EMT), and fire departments requires knowledge, patience, discretion, and ethics. The Job According to Eastside Regional Communications Center (2008), 911 dispatchers answer phones for both emergency and non-emergency calls for not only law enforcement but medical and fire services as well. These individuals work with computer-aided dispatching services as well as computerized phone and radio systems. Dispatch Magazine On-Line also states that these individuals must prioritize these calls when numerous phone calls come into the center at the same time. Dispatchers must complete clerical work, retrieve information from callers using various computer and phone systems, monitor radio frequencies, and relay relevant information between officers and callers. This is only a partial list of duties for a public safety dispatcher. Dispatchers may be required to assume other tasks as needed because of short staff, budget cuts, and situations that have never before been dealt with. Individuals seeking a career as a public safety dispatcher need the ability to remain calm and...

...Schedule for Implementing a Driver Control Program MKTG6513 Abstract This marketing plan is used on lessening driver turnover by reducing the communication gap between drivers and dispatchers. For each of the three years of the marketing plan, a trucking company starts with$1,000,000. To prevent repeating prior mistakes which cause drivers to leave the company, effective marketing and promotion which highlight the change in hiring style need to be implemented. To be effective in a trucking company, technology plays an imperative role which is utilized very carefully in this plan to remain within the budget while using most of it. In order to retain and minimize the turnover percentage of drivers, their training is vital, so that they represent the company in a more effective manner and help the company to retain the client. Together, the relationship of drivers with dispatchers and technology suggest the company can generate profit with a moderate rate. The prevalent concern confronting the trucking business is not the mounting fuel and insurance expenses, but rather, the aptitude to entice, recruit and preserve excellent drivers. According to Keller and Ozment (1999), “[1] the cost to replace a driver has been reported to range from 3,000 to 12,000 dollars [1]” (p. 99). Where does one start to better retain a quality driver? Chances are you have many worthy drivers in your fleet, and the odds are even...

...Staffing Plan Peter Adija University of Phoenix Human Resources Management – MGT/431 Instructor David Mallory June 28, 2010 Staffing Plan Huffman Trucking (HT) is a company that has always gone against the grain. It has always taken the bold moves when others remained cautious and fearful. HT flourished through the uncertain times during and after World War II. And midway through 2010 with many economist and pundits forecasting that the economy will not get better soon and may relapse into a “double dip” recession, HT has sought to make the courageous move and take advantage of some of the positive signs in the market and bravely engage in hiring and re-staffing reflecting the company’s goal of expansion. Employees of a company are not just responsible for carrying out their duties while at work; they are responsible for representing the companies they work for on, and sometimes, off duty. Employees today should be aware that what they say and do off-duty could cause them their jobs. Recently a waitress in Charlotte, NC went on the social networking site Facebook, to vent about her tip from a customer. She rudely spoke about that customer and soon management discovered her post. (Frazier, 2010) Some may say this incident borders on issues of privacy but from a management perspective there is the image and well-being of the company to worry about. Employees are an extension of the company. Hiring employees is not just about body counts. A qualified individual...

...business productivity. Outdated and Inefficient methods and strategies will not move your business ahead, it will only cause more problems and more work for the employees. Even in public service, where you primary objective is serving customers to the best of your ability it is extremely important to make sure you are always looking for ways to advance business and promote better service. I have a friend that works as a 911 Telecommunication Officer, and her department have recently switched from a EMD Protocol Card set system to a ProQA system that appears to be much more efficient. The EMD Protocol Card set system delivers the medical protocol in a durable flip file format with individual protective card pockets. The cardset allows dispatchers to quickly move through Case Entry and Key Questioning. Determinants clearly display the response configuration specifically assigned to the code by local agency authorities. Although there are many pros to this type of system, the problem is the cons outweigh the pros. When you are dealing with life or death situations it is important to be as accurate as possible. What I have discovered is that these cards sometimes leave you guessing as what to do next. For example, if you to give someone instructions on how to perform CPR it is important that you are able to provide the right instructions as quickly as possible. Using the EMD Protocol Card system you could get confused on what card to flip to next based on the answer to the questions...

Focus on the change of your attitude and opinion: How and why it occurred. TraumaOne: As Life Flashes Through Your Head Has there ever been a time when today was the last time a love one or friend would be alive? Not to bring back any bad memories of the past, but the thought of what actions have to be completed to ensure that this particular time by this road on a summer day is not going to be that day. Just a typical afternoon working at the new salon and the owner comes and says “Can you two guys go put up this sign up by the road?” Let us take an imaginary trip through your head of the first three hours after the accident takes place from putting up the sign, to the accident when the life of a friend flashes through your head and finally finding out that the friend is going to recover completely after some time in the hospital. The afternoon was just as any ordinary afternoon of work that gets a new hair salon business up and running. It began with getting supplies together to go clean the marquee before putting the new sign up so that everyone would know that the hair salon that used to be beside Wal-Mart in our town had not gone out of business, just a change of location. Once the supplies were gathered, we headed to the marquee...

...Getting away with Murder There are different laws in each state that allow citizens to protect themselves against a criminal. However, Florida’s law Stand your ground is giving todays citizens a right to kill. Every day we read about a new case where this law justifies the killing of another person. This law was made up to protect criminals and people who choose to kill when they could have easily avoided the whole situation. Shoot first and ask questions later should have been the name of this law. Walking home from the convenient store, playing your music in your car at a gas station, or even going to the movies and asking someone to keep it down has become a scary task. How is it possible that you run the risk of getting shot or killed by doing these everyday normal tasks and the person responsible for your death gets off Scott free with no repercussion for their actions? Having the right to protect yourself when you are seriously in harm’s way is necessary, but useless acts of violence is what todays people are doing and justifying it in court with the Stand your Ground law. This is turning innocent people into targets for angry individuals to take their frustrations or dislikes out on. I want to have the right to walk down the street with a hoodie on and not fear for my life. Gun laws have been restricted over the U.S since the Sandy Hook shootings; however Florida still hasn’t caught up with these actions and still provides an out for over zelles gun toting...

...Hate Crimes in America; the Trayvon Martin Story Cynthia Ellerbee COM/156 May 19, 2012 Laura Babbitt Abstract Hate Crimes in America; the Trayvon Martin Story In 2005, Florida became the first state to expand an ancient rule of law called the castle doctrine. That doctrine says that if strangers enter your house without permission, you can use deadly force to defend yourself. The Florida legislature decided that the old common law should extend not only to the sidewalk outside your house but to "any other place where he or she has a right to be"--any street, any park, any store: anywhere. It is called the Florida Stand Your Ground Law. (Cloud & Altman, 2012) Trayvon Martin was a lanky 6’3 17 year old African American boy. He attended Carol City Senior High in Miami Gardens, Florida and made A’s and B’s. Trayvon was a boy who did his family and community proud. It wasn't just that he mowed the lawn every weekend with his dad, worked the concession at a football field and helped his neighbors with their groceries. His mother had drilled manners into him, and it showed. "It was always 'Thank you,'" says Johnson, 60, his great-aunt. Each year he put up her Christmas decorations, and come summer he pulled the weeds from her yard. "He didn't mind anything you wanted him to do," she says. At 9, Trayvon helped his dad to safety when a fire broke out in the family kitchen. As he grew older, Trayvon, who had a love for aircraft, longed to go on to college like his...

...As I entered the Langston University Police Department, I was a bit adamant about being there. I didn’t know what to expect, so I just went with the flow of things. Since I am a bit shy until you meet me, I went into the Langston University Police Department with a just stay quiet and listen mindset. I can honestly say, that was not the right mindset to have. The dispatchers, and all the officers welcomed me with opened arms. Since I am not really a talker, the officers did everything in their power to make me talk. I was forced to warm up and I did. When I began my internship, it was already chaotic in the Langston University Police Department, and several incidents had already occurred. I immediately observed all the chaos, and joined right...

...tracking shipment sizes and the capacity within warehouses and trucks. The lack of formal processes has resulted in multiple turned away shipments, due to overloaded warehouses, or lack of space in loaded trucks. The project below is meant to specifically address this issue of informal shipment size tracking. Project Description The proposed project is an automated system for tracking the weight and dimensions of packages, integrated with the information about warehouse and truck capacity in order to ensure that trucks can be loaded to full capacity without fear of turned away shipments. The warehouse employees would use the system for inputting shipments size and dimensions, while dispatchers would use the information to choose appropriate trucks for the shipment. Additionally, dispatchers could use the gained information to choose appropriate warehouses for delivery, based on current capacity. Strategic Alignment The shipment size tracking system aligns directly with business strategies previously outlined by Wobbly Wheels. The project aligns with the business strategy of accurately tracking shipments in...

...In Pre-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients, How Does Hands-Only CPR Compared To Standard CPR, Affect Neurological Outcomes? Abstract Summary Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Increasing bystander-initiated CPR through “hands-only” CPR and EMS dispatcher instructed “hands-only” CPR improves survival rates. Methods CINAHL, PubMed, and OvidMD were searched for the following key terms or combination thereof: “hands-only”; “compression-only”; chest compression-only”; “bystander”; “CPR”; “dispatcher”; and “neurological affect”. We initially restricted our search to peer-reviewed studies published in English between January 2004 and June 2014, but agreed by consensus to use a 2000 study located during a manual search of included study references. Results We identified nine Level II, III, and IV studies comparing “hands-only” CPR and “standard” CPR, published between 2000 and 2013, and occurring in the countries of Japan, London, Sweden and the U.S. All but one of the study results recommend that “hands-only” CPR is at least equal or superior to “standard” CPR. Conclusions Guidelines should be established to teach bystander “hands-only” CPR nationwide, to increase public awareness of the effectiveness of “hands-only” CPR and start to teach out-of-hospital “hands-only” CPR. Introduction Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States (Neumar, Barnhart, Berg, Chan, Geocadin, Luepker,… Nichol, 2011). According...

...You tell a witness to call 9-1-1 and let you talk to the dispatcher. You tell the dispatcher the location of the emergency and that you and the victim are outside of the restaurant on the patio. You tell the dispatcher the telephone number you are calling from. Then tell the dispatcher what had happened and that only one person was injured and needs help. Also, tell the dispatcher that the victim has a head injury and you’ve applied pressure on the wound to control the bleeding. The patient’s ankle is swollen, so you left the shoe on, elevated the ankle, and put ice on it. The dispatcher hangs up the phone. You wait and comfort the patient until EMS arrives. The patient was in a stable position, so you did not need to call the dispatcher to update...
