Preferred term

dispatch  

Definition

  • “If I had a choice between a two-way radio and a gun, I'd take the radio.” The above quote is from a former Maryland police officer and reflects the importance of the dispatcher. Although the role of the dispatcher is critical for the survival of law enforcement officers and the citizens who call upon them, administrators, officers, and citizens often misunderstand dispatchers. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement; Dispatch]
