1 MEMORANDUM To: Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Joint Operations Committee and DCC Staff From: Executive Director Diane Lind Date: February 11th, 2013 Subject: Dakota Communications Center Monthly Statistics - January, 2013 The DCC reviews monthly activity and performance based on measurements approved by the Board of Directors. Activities measured are call pickup, call processing and emergency medical dispatch (EMD). In January, performance standards were met for call pickup and law enforcement call processing times. The standard for EMD is under the goal of 95% for case entry with an overall performance rate of 89%. This performance is being addressed with the dispatchers and has risen from the December rate of 78% compliance. The second EMD performance measure of 90% total protocol compliance is being met with an overall compliance of 96%. The standard for fire dispatching is based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard. The DCC continues to fail to meet the standard of 95% of calls processed within 75 seconds with an overall average of 74%. The goal of 99% of calls processed within 130 also reflects an under-performance at 93%. However, our average fire processing time is 54.2 seconds, which is within standard. NFPA has issued new standards which we are reviewing with our Fire/EMS Operations Committee to determine the impact on our fire protocols. Below is an overview of the DCC performance for the month of January.

3 Fire Call Processing Times Fire call processing times are measuremed from the time the telephone rings through the completion of the initial dispatching of the call, often referred to as "ring to ding".

4 Emergency Medical Dispatching Emergency Medical Dispatching is a call processing protocol used to determine the severity of medical emergencies. The EMD protocol determines level of response by local providers while enabling the dispatcher to offer pre-arrival instructions to the victim. The performance standard is based upon Priority Dispatch Quality Assurance (Pro-QA) guidelines.

5 Law Enforcement Call Processing Times As there is not currently a designated national standard, the Law Enforcement Operations Committee has designated a standard that identifies certain priority one call types that should be created within 55 seconds on average. The dispatching of priority one calls varies based on individual agency protocol so it is not considered in the standard. DCC Standard: Average total creation time of 55 seconds or less for the following incident types Assaults Fights Robberies Domestics Personal Injury Accidents Weapons Average Call Processing Time by Priority 40 Seconds Jan YTD Average 0 Assault Domestic Fight PI Accdnt Robbery Weapons All 2013 Create Times Priority Law Calls Seconds Assault Domestic Fight PI Accdnt Robbery Weapons All Priority Calls Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
