The dispatcher and police sergeant make the decision based on the available information and their experience. Calls are given a priority code ranging from 1 to 9. An example of a priority 1 call would be a call where there are injuries, death or there is a threat of injury if the police don't respond quickly. An example of a priority 9 call would be a citizen who just needs to ask a police officer a question. Many times calls require two or more police officers and there may be several of these types of calls at one time. Please be patient and if the situation changes you can call us back and give us any new information. Just like the emergency room at the hospital, call are prioritized and are not always handled in the order they were received.
